Editing How to Arrange Pictures on a Wall (section)

== Composition Principles ==

=== Focal Point ===
Choose a central piece to serve as the focal point of your arrangement[18]. This is often the largest or most visually striking image.

=== Balance ===
Aim for visual balance by distributing visual weight evenly across the arrangement[12]. This doesn't necessarily mean perfect symmetry - asymmetrical layouts can be very effective when done thoughtfully.

=== Spacing ===
Maintain consistent spacing between frames for a cohesive look[11]. A general rule of thumb is to leave 2-3 inches between smaller frames and 3-6 inches between larger ones[14].

=== The Rule of Three ===
Consider using the "rule of three" when selecting colors, textures, or subjects for your arrangement[18]. This principle can help create a harmonious and visually pleasing composition.
