Memories kept for ever
Step 1: Selecting the proper spot
First, consider where you want to hang your new Wall Art. There is plenty of possibilities on how to hang up a wall art, for example in a gallery-like style, in the Petersburg hanging order or as a single picture at eye level. In any case, consider using the golden ratio method, which means you have to hang the wall art at a height of two-thirds.
Step 2: How the railing system works
The railing system comes already pre-assembled so it's a perfect option for those who'd like to mount the new Wall Art right away. Smaller prints get one rail at the top of the rear side of the print, whilst larger prints get a total of 4 rails pre-mounted which is somewhat like a metal frame attached to the back of the print. This allows you to decide whether you want to hang the wall art in a portrait or landscape format depending on the image.
Step 3: Mark out the wall
Hold the picture on the wall - it would be wise to have another second person there to help you. For your Wall Art to hang straight, you should use a water level gauge to ensure that you are holding the print straight. Use a pencil or a piece of chalk to mark the places where the rail system should be attached. For larger wall prints, you may need four dots, and for smaller wall images two may be sufficient.
Step 4: Prepare the picture hangers
Prepare the base for mounting on the wall:
- nails: You can hang up your wall art on two nails. Insert them into the wall at a 45-degree angle. This is, so they do not stand out horizontally from the wall, but point diagonally towards the ceiling. For other heavier formats, you should use dowels and screws to secure the wall art
- screws: Drill a hole at the correct height by using a machine drill. After you have successfully positioned the dowels in the holes, you can add the screws or slotted screws. Pay attention to the correct distance from the wall so that there is sufficient space between the wall and the wall bracket, but make sure that the wall art does not protrude away from the wall.

Step 5: Hang up your wall art, sit back and enjoy!
Now, attach the wall art to the nails or screws. Make sure the product is securely attached. Take a step back from the picture and enjoy the result!
