Once you're satisfied with your grouping map, simply transfer it onto the wall. To avoid crooked art, keep a level handy, and hang it using two nails rather than one. And, as you move on to the next bare wall, remember that rules are made to be broken. Try propping art instead of hanging it -- this works particularly well on a mantel (shown here), chest of drawers, or sideboard. Pay attention to overlooked spaces, too -- corners and over doorways and archways are prime decorating spots.
