The Art of wall-scaping

I discovered the art of hanging pictures on blank walls to be much like taking a
rocky patch of ground and turning it into a lush garden.  It is so much more than
just banging a nail into the wall and hoping a picture will look good. 

It requires a clear understanding of horizontal spatial planning; that is, the ability
to identify the correct position and height to hang a picture or mirror, how that
picture or mirror fits in with its decorative surroundings (furnishings etc.), and how
it coordinates with other pictures or mirrors in the immediate vicinity. 

I refer to this as wall-scaping; taking a blank wall and creatively adding an image,
or series of images to transform not only that wall, but also the entire room. 
For example, a passageway with blank walls is nothing other than just
somewhere to walk through.  But by hanging a matching series of well lit prints or
a carefully arranged group of family photographs and memorabilia, the
passageway comes to life, becoming a place where friends and family will stop,
admire and chat; it becomes a feature of your home.
