This step is best to do before you buy the framed piece. Find a place
on the wall where you would like to hang the framed art. This has a better outcome when it is done before buying the frame that way you know how much
space you have and you can shop for framed art by size. If you bought the frame before you mapped out where it will go, find a space in the room based
on size and lighting. You do not want to place a large framed piece in a small space because it will take over and overpower the room rather than compliment
it. You also want to make sure you are not placing a small piece in a large space, it will be more likely to go unnoticed.
Another way to find a space on the wall to hang the frame is by using a
stud finder. Stud finders help find the studs in the wall so you can fasten the bracket in that area. Fastening screws into the wall where a stud is
supplies more support for the framed piece rather than fastening the bracket into a part of the wall that is just the wall and no stud.
