If you are redesigning or decorating a room Maglia Gianluigi Donnarumma , or house, care has to be taken where your piece of art is to be displayed. Even if you have bought a picture on impulse there are a few tips that will not only enhance the picture but its surroundings.
As a good rule of thumb it is good to hang a picture so that its centre is roughly at eye level. If you have a grouping of pictures then also the centre of the group should be at approximate eye level.
Wall size.
For a narrow wall go for a smaller picture, or group of small pictures.
For large walls go for the larger pictures.
For walls that link to a low ceiling go for pictures that are vertically longer as this will help give the illusion that the ceiling is higher and open the room up.
Picture framing.
As a guide neutral coloured Maglia Antonio Donnarumma , plain or soft delicate paintings will suit a more basic plain frame.
Dramatic pictures may deserve a much bolder frame.
Will the frames go together if pictures are hung in a group?
Picture grouping.
If you intend to hang more than one picture in a group then layout the pictures first, maybe on the floor to get a good idea as how they will interact. Bear in mind the layout and furniture in the proposed area as this may influence how you want the pictures laid out.
Measure the total height and width of the layout, and as a tip tape some lengths of string to the wall to mimic the outside of the layout to make sure you are happy with positioning Maglia Franck Kessie , and to act as guide for hanging.
Consider the layout of the rest of the room. Do you want just one group of pictures in one area, or will one or two pictures elsewhere help balance the room?
Help, advice and ideas.
Look through magazines and notice peoples houses for styles and layouts you like. But an important point to remember is to look for what would be good for Maglia Alen Halilovic , and suit your home. Adapting what you want to fit your surroundings will give your home the stylish look you want. There is nothing worse than a picture that doesn't suit a room hanging in a position that doesn't look right.
If you know someone who has the layout of their home you love, get their opinion on your choice and layout. They will be flattered.
As a final tip - try to keep pictures away from bright sunshine, as they will fade over a period of time.
Positioning your pictures is not a science Maglia Ricardo Rodriguez , but a bit of planning and attention will no doubt give you years of joy.

Most employees Maglia Patrick Cutrone , business owners and managers are so close to the problems that they frequently miss what聮s right in front of their eyes. As a customer service consultant and trainer I frequently get to come in to help pick up the pieces and get to see the causes behind the scenes.
What I see the most frequently is the technical staff, those that have created the products or services and understand it so thoroughly that they can聮t understand why a customer doesn聮t see what they see. The usual result is that the employees say 聯Stupid customer?when they should be asking why the customer is even asking for help.
Let聮s look at an example:
I was recently working with a client who said he was getting frequent calls from customers saying they couldn聮t download files from the website. Every time he looked into it the employees assured him that everything was working. When I looked at the emails there were 4 or 5 that basically said 聯Can聮t download file ? [More than one would indicate there is likely a real problem, or an misunderstanding on how to do it.]
The employee checked the download. It worked for him so his response back to the customer was 聯It works here.? A CYA answer Maglia Mateo Musacchio , internally focused. Not a hint of getting what the customer wanted, the files.
After sending several emails one of those customers sent an email to the president asking why they had not gotten the problem resolved. The president looked into it, got an assurance from the employee that there was nothing wrong and that this was one of the really stupid customers that didn聮t know how to download. So Maglia Lucas Biglia , the president let it drop based on the employee's assurances.
Let聮s analyze what just happened.
Customer's View
A customer said he couldn聮t download files from the website. Do you see that the customer wanted the files he had tried to download, and he had even offered assistance. But he got no help at all to get what he files.
Company View
The website had been set up to deliver a series of sales steps to customers starting with the free PDF files they were trying to download. If the customer doesn't get the files, I聮d say 98% of the customers went away in the first 3 seconds. That basically says that these 4-5 customers represented about 250 potential prospects Maglia Ignazio Abate , with 245 of them going away. The employee should be trying to find out why a customer was having the problem instead of 聯Works here?which only aggravated the customer.
