A step-by-step guide to pairing and hanging Lips #6 and Lips #7 ceramic wall art, covering spacing, frame contrast, and hardware for a balanced two-piece display.

Quick answer

Hang Lips #6 and Lips #7 side by side at eye level, centered over a focal point, with 2–3 inches between the frames. Use the gold frame of Lips #6 and the silver frame of Lips #7 to create deliberate contrast, and mount both with appropriate wall hardware for their weight.

Why frame contrast matters when pairing these pieces

Lips #6 comes in a classic golden frame, while Lips #7 has a simple silver frame. That difference is an asset: the two pieces read as a set without looking identical. Place them close enough that the shared red-lips motif connects them, but let the frame colors do the work of separating them visually. If your wall already has strong metallic accents, consider whether gold or silver will feel more intentional in the room.

Spacing exceptions for small or busy walls

The 2–3 inch gap works for most open walls, but if you are hanging the pair above a sofa or console, you can widen the gap to 4 inches to fill the furniture width. On a narrow wall, keep the gap at the tighter end so the pair still reads as one unit. Avoid hanging them on separate walls unless you deliberately want two standalone pieces.

Steps to hang your paired set

Decide the order and orientation: Place Lips #6 (gold frame) on the left and Lips #7 (silver frame) on the right, or reverse them to suit the room. Both are vertical rectangular pieces; keep them in the same orientation. Common mistake: hanging one higher than the other—use a level to keep the top edges aligned. Check that both frames are level before marking screw holes.
Mark the center and spacing: Find the center of your intended wall area and mark it lightly with a pencil. Measure outward 1–1.5 inches from center on each side to set a 2–3 inch gap between frames. Common mistake: guessing the gap—measure and mark both inner edges. Use painter's tape to outline both frames on the wall before drilling.
Choose and install hardware: Select wall anchors or hooks rated for the weight of each framed piece. If you are unsure of the weight, check the packaging or use a stud finder to locate studs. Common mistake: using one hook for both frames—each piece needs its own support. Test each anchor with a gentle pull before hanging.
Hang and adjust: Hang Lips #6 and Lips #7 on their respective hooks, then step back to check alignment. Adjust the gap to 2–3 inches and confirm the frames are level. Common mistake: leaving the protective wrapping on—remove it fully to check the frame finish. View the pair from the main seating area to confirm the height feels right.
