How to hang a poster or picture perfectly centered on a wall

Today I'm going to teach you how to easily center your poster or picture on a wall so it would look awesome in half the time it would take to average it with someone else's help.

Follow these 5 easy steps to continue:-

Step 1
Measure the full length of the wall. As seen below, we have an example wall with the length 80cm.



Step 2
Measure the full length of the painting/picture. The example painting we have is about 60cm long.



Step 3
Subtract the length of the wall from the length of the painting. From the example above, if we subtract 80cm - 60cm, we get 20cm remaining.

Step 4
The remaining value you get, divide it by 2. From the above example, if we divide 20cm by 2, (20 / 2), we will get 10cm.

Step 5
This value is how much you need on either side of the painting in order for it to be perfectly centered on the wall. 

We will use the value we got from the above example, which is 10cm, and measure it off on each side.



Measure it off, put 2 little marks on either side, then the painting would sit comfortably in between the marks and be perfectly centered on the wall without anyone's help! 

Good job, the measurements may vary on different walls, and may need more precise calculations in the decimal formats to be exactly centered, but its not rocket science, so go forth and hang your paintings!
