How to Hang Wall Decor: Easy Styling Tips for a Hamptons-Inspired Home

Wall decor is one of the simplest, most cost-effective ways to refresh your space—no major renovations or big spending required. Whether you're styling a living room, hallway, or bedroom, a carefully chosen piece of art or a striking mirror can completely transform the mood of a room, adding personality, texture, and that coveted Hamptons charm.

But hanging wall art can be a little intimidating—especially when you're trying to get the height and placement just right. Here are a few tried-and-true styling tips to help:

Above a Sofa
Hang your artwork so the bottom edge is roughly 15–20cm above the back of the sofa. The piece (or arrangement) should be about two-thirds the width of the furniture underneath it for balance. Too high or too small, and it can look disconnected from the space.

Above a Console or Sideboard
Aim for the base of your wall art or mirror to sit 10–20cm above the surface of the furniture. If you're hanging a mirror, keep in mind what's reflected—it should enhance the space, not create visual clutter.

Create a Gallery Wall
For a more eclectic feel, try a gallery wall with various pieces grouped tightly together (5–10cm apart), treating the whole arrangement as one unified artwork.

At OneWorld Collection, we offer a stunning range of wall art and mirrors designed to elevate coastal Hamptons interiors. From breezy seascapes and botanical prints to statement mirrors with rattan or whitewashed timber frames, you’ll find the perfect piece to complement your home.
