Learn how to display your Dwelling Place Print for maximum impact. This guide covers placement, framing, and grouping tips for 8x10 wall art.

Quick answer

Hang your Dwelling Place Print at eye level in a spot with indirect light, using a frame that complements the artwork's muted tones.

Why placement matters

The Dwelling Place Print features original artwork by Vancouver-based artist Joy Kinna. Its textured matte finish and limited-edition status mean it deserves a spot where it won't be bumped or exposed to direct sunlight, which can fade the archival paper over time.

Choosing a frame

The print comes unframed, so you'll need to select a frame that fits the 8x10 size. A simple black or natural wood frame keeps the focus on the art, while a metallic frame can add a modern contrast. Avoid ornate frames that compete with the print's subtle details.

Steps to style your Dwelling Place Print

Choose the right spot: Select a wall where the print will be at eye level (roughly 57-60 inches from the floor to the center of the piece). Avoid areas with direct sunlight or high humidity, like above a radiator or in a bathroom. Check the wall for reflections at different times of day before hanging.
Select a complementary frame: Pick a frame that suits your decor. A thin black or white frame works well in modern spaces, while a warm wood tone fits cozy or rustic rooms. Ensure the frame has a mat to create breathing room around the 8x10 print. A mat that is at least 2 inches wide helps the print feel balanced and gallery-ready.
Hang it securely: Use a level and two hooks or picture hangers rated for the weight of the framed print. For a single print, center it on the wall; for a gallery wall, align it with other pieces at the same eye level. Measure twice and use a pencil mark behind the frame to avoid uneven hanging.
Group with other art (optional): If you're creating a gallery wall, pair the Dwelling Place Print with other 8x10 pieces or smaller prints. Leave 2-3 inches between frames for a cohesive look. Mix in different textures, like a small mirror or textile piece, to add depth. Lay out the arrangement on the floor first to test spacing before hammering nails.
