How to hang pictures?

Should these 2 pictures be hung together vertically? There is 28” on one side of the window and only 18” on the other side.

Comments (27)Thanks for the feedback everyone. I am recovering this week fron an injury and bored, bored, bored, bored, bored! It is SPRING outside which makes it worse! Because I can't do much, I thought I would at least try to make myself useful on Garden Web. :) Az- Your piece over the mantle was actually resized from something I found online. I know Hobby Lobby and Garden Ridge get tons of stuff every year. Also try garden centers. I couldn't find an online source because I guess that shipping for something that large and heavy is prohibitive. The windows were pieces from an iron shop online that I scaled to fit your window. Those were almost 15", but they have different designs in different sizes. They have a 200 page book of iron that is great fun to look at (but their web navigation is less than stellar) --- I think you are right about a lighter table. I love that your furniture is so grounded, but a little lightness would be great. Something like that one in Daisy's living might be nice. OH! I love those mirrors Johnatemp posted! I have copper on the brain right now. I have been searching for months for the perfect vintage copper tray to go under my dog dishes.

Comments (2)Thank you so much - this was very informative! Unfortunately, neither says how high above the picture to install the light (and the electrical!). Thought it would be something easy to find, but apparently, I was wrong! :-)...See MorePictures on wall with sconce
Comments (9)This was our first big renovation and I think the only way to label it is “eclectic” which feels like kind of a cop-out. I really love a bit of country cottage charm, the industrial touches are my husband’s influence and handiwork but I love them too. It’s a lot of working with what we’ve got and diy on a smaller budget (the lights were out big “splurge” as we both loved them and there was no light over the table at all before. Here’s a before pic from where it started......See More

Cut out pieces of paper or cardboard the sizes of the art and tape them up with painter’s tape to get placement ideas.Are curtains ever planned? If so, I’d find another spot for the art.
Your wall color looks great! What is it?

30-ish inches above table is a general rule
If you want to balance out the window, you could hang plates on either side either singly or with a plate holder
