When it comes to hanging your artworks – be it your latest edition to your collection or your child's masterpiece – investing in a professional is highly recommended (for the sake of your walls and your art) having the artwork hung correctly and professionally. ‘The Design Hunter’ turns to expert Jonathon Lee, from The Hangman for his tips:

- Create a centrepiece where possible, for example: a mirror above a mantel, or a painting centered over a sofa.
- In groupings of art, centre them to each other to make the eye run smoothly through the room.
- Hang paintings lower to emphasise ceiling height.
- Unless you have the right equipment, hanging heavy paintings or mirrors on plasterboard walls is best left to a professional. It will work out cheaper in the end.
- When buying art, aim for an investment period of 10 years or more.
- Don’t get caught up in the “gallery hype” of the so-called next Brett Whiteley. Choose your art carefully, selecting artists that other established artists respect (we call them “Artists’ Artists”).
