Hanging Things in 3's...

What is it about hanging things in groups of 3 that just makes sense? Perhaps it's the symmetry that 3 offer, always with a guaranteed center point. I think it's a great way to hang art, because it's hard to screw up and almost always looks good.

3 pictures in a row can help to better anchor a gallery wall.


This set of three is on a huge expanse of wall, and fills it without making it feel cluttered.


This grouping is taken all the way to the floor and makes the wall a little more interesting.




This isn't a straight forward grouping of threes, but by adding a center point to two pairs of prints, you can get the same effect.




I love this triptich from Gray Malin. How fun would this be in a kitchen or dining room?

Do you prefer hanging things in 3's? Pairs? Other? Let me know!
