5 pictures hanging on the wall: What are the possibilities of arrangement?

You bought five pictures in your hardware store and are still looking for the right arrangement for your wall? Perhaps you also have a 5-piece canvas painting, which is to be put on the wall as a total work of art and you are wondering at what distance you should hang your pictures on the wall? If you have a 5 part picture, the order of the arrangement is usually given. Such pictures are arranged in a row and at exactly the same height. However, if you have 5 pictures with different motifs and patterns, the design possibilities are infinitely large when arranging your frames. So you can hang 5 pictures along a line or row, along an edge or chaotic and without any logic on the wall. Other hangings, such as an ordered O or U-shape, are also possible with 5 pictures.

Even with 5 pictures, you can create a symmetrical overall picture. The type of hanging is of course also strongly dependent on the formats. In our guide, we show you the possibilities you have to arrange 5 pictures on the wall and then mount them on the wall with our hanging system.

With our picture hangers your pictures will always hang straight!

How do I best hang 5 pictures on the wall and which hangings are there?

Hello everyone,

I have 5 new pictures with similar motifs and colors. Even the formats are exactly identical. The pictures are framed and all have a classic passepartout. Do you have any tips and tricks on how to arrange my 5 pictures on the wall with a simple hanging? I have already considered a picture bar, because here you can place your picture frames individually along the picture bar. With 5 pictures the possibility of hanging seems almost unlimited. From a grid hanging to an edge hanging to the St. Petersburg hanging, there seem to be many different slopes. Do you also have a trick for me, how I can hang my picture frames without drilling and without holes in the wall?

Thank you for your help!

Hang 5 pictures: Unlimited possibilities!

If you want to hang 5 pictures on the wall, you have countless different possibilities of arrangement. The examples shown here should give you an overview of the different slopes. Of course, your pictures can also have other formats and do not necessarily have to hang over a sofa.

Hang 5 pictures side by side

The simplest solution is to arrange the five pictures in a row. Especially if you have several pictures of the same size, the pictures look particularly harmonious when hanging in rows. The symmetry comes into its own when all five pictures are hung up at the same height and at a distance from each other. At the intervals, make sure that these are not too large so that the series of pictures is perceived as one unit. Of course, you can also arrange such a series with pictures of different sizes by aligning the pictures along an edge or an imaginary center line.

Group 5 pictures - grid hanging

Strictly speaking, we are not talking about a classic grid hanging in this example, as this usually consists of a straight number of picture frames. This makes the symmetry particularly effective. However, since both the three upper and the two lower ramen are mounted at the same height, this hanging nevertheless results in a harmonious overall work. If you also make sure that the two lower frames are placed exactly in the middle of the two upper left and right frames, the relationship between the pictures will be even stronger.

 

Align 5 pictures along a center line

Do you have a particularly unusual or beloved picture, which perhaps sets itself apart visually from the other four pictures? This motif deserves a place of honor in the middle of the hanging. This attracts the most attention. The other 4 pictures can be placed next to the picture on the left and right. Make sure that your picture in the middle is at eye level. The symmetry of this hanging results from the fact that the outer opposite pictures hang exactly at the same height.

Hang pictures in ascending order

Start with the left picture, which you should hang slightly below eye level. You should hang the lower edge of the middle picture exactly on the middle of the left picture. This aligns your pictures along an imaginary diagonal, which makes the picture group particularly harmonious. By the way, the diagonal arrangement of the picture frames makes your walls look higher. In addition to the above-mentioned hangings, you also have the option of attaching your pictures in an L or U shape to the wall.
