The Gallery System is a Sydney based art hanging specialist and confirmed in an exclusive interview with Metro Cities Media the rise in popularity of the salon hang picture hanging system in home and business installations.

Picture hanging systems have become a very popular choice for individuals and businesses looking to display artwork collections and family photographs to add visual interest to a wall. They typically consist of a rail, hanging wires, and hooks that are installed on a wall, providing a flexible and customizable way to hang and rearrange pictures with the major benefit of not damaging the wall surface.

Lisa Jackson, Principal of The Gallery System Australia said this when interviewed by Metro Citi Media: “The salon hang style of hanging artwork or photographs in a cluster or grouping on a wall, much like how art is often displayed in a salon or gallery setting. Business and homeowners have been embracing this as a way of refreshing home entertaining areas and office spaces.”

The arrangement can be made up of any combination of pieces, such as paintings, prints, and photographs, and they are typically hung close together to create a visually impactful display. The style originated in the 1660s with the Royal Academy in Paris and the first salon hang was at the Palace of the Louvre.

The Gallery System recommend the creation of a salon hang start with a central piece, such as a large painting or photograph, to anchor the arrangement. Work outward from that building the arrangement out from the central piece, using pieces of varying sizes and shapes to create a visually interesting display. It’s important to create a balanced look by placing pieces with similar colours or styles near each other.

Picture hanging systems have been around for long time but recent magazine features has given rise to the growing interest in them as they can support a variety of weights and sizes of artwork. One of the primary benefits is they are suitable for multiple small frames or large and heavy pieces in the home or office.

Wall-mounted systems are attached directly to the wall and typically come in a variety of materials from aluminium to the traditional timber picture rails found in many Victorian style homes. Picture hanging systems are often used in commercial settings such as art galleries and museums, however, now with the introduction of slimline systems, they have also become a popular choice in the home.

Picture hanging systems offer a flexible and versatile way to display artwork and photographs, allowing for easy rearrangement and customization without causing damage to walls or ceilings. They are particularly popular with those wanting to regularly rotate the art or photographic works.

When choosing a picture hanging system, it’s important to consider the weight and size of the artwork, as well as the type of wall or ceiling it will be installed on. Additionally, some systems may require professional installation, while others can be easily installed by the user.

About The Gallery System

The Gallery System began its journey back in 1989 and over the years they refined their original hanging system design which further evolved over time. They also developed an optional add-on lighting system comprising light wands that simply clip on and off where required, putting the light directly on the artwork. The Slimline Art Hanging System came later when unobtrusive hanging systems were being asked for. This system has been very popular both home and business installations, and now accounts for around half of all sales.

The distribution business is Sydney based (Gladesville), with the factory in Queensland, however, distribute all over Australia. Australian owned and made, The Gallery System was the original picture hanging system and considered by a significant number of art gallery owners as still the best.
