How many pictures should you hang in one room?

The number of pictures to hang in a room depends on the room's size, wall space, and overall decor style. Generally, a good rule of thumb is to keep artwork to about 60-75% of the available wall space to avoid overwhelming the area. For smaller rooms, one or two larger pieces can create a focal point, while larger rooms can accommodate a gallery wall with multiple smaller images. Ultimately, balance and personal preference should guide your choices.
