Planning Wall Art & Shelving
Compare artwork sizes and shelving specifications, and check mounting requirements before choosing a wall location.
HomeFill buying guide. Use the exact product specifications and manufacturer instructions for your chosen item.
Measure the available wall
Compare the dimensions of your selected art or shelf option with the available space. Use a paper outline or measurements to check its position relative to nearby furniture and switches.
Check what is included
Read the exact option for framing, brackets and mounting hardware. A photograph may show styling accessories that are not included in the offer.
Follow product-specific mounting guidance
Wall materials and hardware requirements vary. Use the manufacturer’s installation instructions and stated load limits. If the instructions do not establish a suitable mounting method for your wall, seek qualified installation advice.
Treat mantels separately
Fireplace mantel clearances depend on the fireplace or appliance and the mantel materials. Follow those manufacturers’ instructions and applicable requirements; a generic shelf measurement is not sufficient.
