How to Hang Two Canvas Prints as a Pair

Quiet Terrain I and II framed canvas pair by CNVS Art Studio

A coordinated canvas pair can give a wall a balanced, deliberate feel. The simplest way to plan it is to treat both pieces as one arrangement, while measuring their individual hanging points separately.

Check the intended order and dimensions

Lay the canvases on a clean, protected surface and compare them with the product images. Where the design has a particular left-to-right order, keep that order. Check each finished frame's width and height rather than assuming both hanging fittings sit in exactly the same position.

CNVS square pairs include designs such as Quiet Terrain I & II and Faint Lines I & II. Confirm the selected size per canvas on the product page.

Choose a gap and calculate the total width

For an initial paper layout, try a gap of 5 cm, then adjust it to suit the scale of your pieces and room. A close gap can help the pair read as a connected composition; a wider gap gives each canvas more separation.

Total width equals the first canvas width plus the gap plus the second canvas width. Two 60 cm pieces with a 5 cm gap occupy 125 cm before any additional width from frames, if the stated dimensions exclude them.

Centre the pair as a whole

Mark the centre of the furniture or wall area you want to use. Position the combined arrangement around that point. Do not centre the first canvas and simply add the second beside it, unless an intentionally asymmetric layout is your aim.

Test with paper and measure the fittings

Make templates matching the finished outer dimensions. Use suitable removable tape according to its instructions and check the layout from several viewpoints. Mark the proposed top edges, then measure from each canvas's top edge to its actual hanging fitting.

Use a level and suitable fixings for your wall material and the artwork's weight. Follow the supplied hanging instructions. If you are unsure about the wall construction or nearby cables and pipes, get help from a competent installer before drilling.

Check the finished arrangement

Check that the top edges align, the gap stays consistent from top to bottom and both pieces sit securely. Explore square canvas designs to find a pair that works with your space.
