Picture frames can really add a touch of personality to a kitchen. However, if they are not hung correctly, they can end up looking cluttered and messy. In this blog post, we will discuss some common mistakes people make when hanging pictures in the kitchen, and how to avoid them.

1) When pictures are hung too high, they can make your kitchen look smaller. To avoid this mistake, pictures should be hung at eye level on the wall.
2) When pictures are hung too low, they can end up looking cluttered and messy. A good rule of thumb is to hang pictures about 60 inches from the floor for most rooms in your home - including kitchens! If you have a very tall ceiling (over 12 feet), then it may be okay to hang pictures slightly lower than that mark; however, if you're concerned about how much space will remain between them when standing below them on a ladder or step stool while doing work around the room/area where there's limited space available due to furniture placement etcetera then try not hanging pictures any lower than 55 inches from floor level.
3) When pictures are hung too far apart, they can make your kitchen look smaller. To avoid this mistake, pictures should be placed at least three feet apart on the wall.

4) When pictures are hung too close to the edge of your kitchen, they can end up looking cluttered and messy. A good rule of thumb is to hang pictures about 60 inches from each other for most rooms in your home - including kitchens! If you have a very tall ceiling (over 12 feet), then it may be okay to hang pictures in the kitchen slightly lower than that mark; however, if there's limited space available due to furniture placement etcetera then try not hanging pictures any closer than 50 inches away from an edge where there will still remain adequate room between them when standing below them (on a ladder or step stool) while doing work around the room/area. Including a variety of picture sizes within one grouping can also add visual interest and help to avoid pictures looking too cluttered or messy.
5) When using multiple frames in one grouping, try to use frames that have similar shapes, colors, and textures to create a cohesive look. Experiment with different arrangements until you find an arrangement that you like best!

Last but not least, be sure to use levelers on your pictures frames if they're not hung perfectly straight on the wall when first installing them. This will ensure that your pictures are hanging evenly and looking their best!
