Oh, my frames are hunter green instead of black.

I have a clock (black) and also a couple wooden shelves I could add the mix. I've googled templates but everything seems to feature frames of different sizes and the ones that show a series like this simply line them all up in a row. That seems way narrow for my wide space, plus kind of modern and boring. :/

Straight across & spread out? don't really like

another straight, maybe some candle holders on the side? Not necessarily those, that's just what was within reach

maybe have the center two higher?

I don't know, everything just looks to contrived and too "perfect", would like it balanced, yes, but maybe less boring and expected.

What if I left out "winter" which is my least favorite print. Not that it's not pretty, it is, but the other three have much more similar coloring. If I had three it might seem less formal? but, if I do that, it's a narrower grouping on a wide wall. :( Why do the simple things hang me up so?

How about one high, three low and then find something horizontal to hang above the three? Not a precise tight fit like a puzzle, something more relaxed

nah, people will think I was drinking when I hung them lol

maybe something above the middle two, something relaxed fitting?

Oh my goodness someone please come shoot me, this should NOT be this stinking difficult.

I love those prints! You scored big time! Congratulations!

I so wanted this set when they first came out. Now I have hope of finding them, too.

I would not leave one out; they are the "Four Seasons." It would seem odd - to me - to have only two or three of the four seasons.

I'm boring and predictable; I would hang them all straight across as in your first photo. However; I love the "one high; three low" idea. I would make/find/buy a horizontal plaque referencing "...to every thing there is a season..." from Ecclesiastes to hang above the "three low" prints.

I have two sets of circa-1960s "Four Seasons" plaques like this. One set is square, like these; the other set is long ovals. I plan to spray paint them. If I may, I may steal a page from your book and try hanging the "one high; three low" with them.

What nice prints! I think creating an arrangement with more art will be nice, because the mass of them together still doesn't feel like quite enough to stand up to the piano. I kind of like the idea of one higher than the rest...cheeky!

All together, straight across, closer together then you have them in the first picture.

I agree with Marcolo-All four straight across about 1-2 inches apart and only a few inches above your furniture piece.

Caroline-I have the fall and winter of the plaques you posted, sadly another shopper got spring and summer before I could get to them on the goodwill shelf. I hang each one during it's season as part of a picture arrangement in my foyer. Not paid for a buck a piece.

How funny, I guess the "rules" really aren't rules ... so many different opinions! I feel better, at least now I know whichever way I choose, at least someone agrees with me and I'm not a total weirdo.

Loving how everything is coming together .... if only my doggie hadn't eaten my roll of painter's tape I would have finished another big project today and had a few pix to share (not completed room, just a good hunk of progress).

Straight across, close together.

Off topic: Marcolo welcome back!!!!

Straight line -- all together -- quite tightly spaced ..... THEN add a pair of candle lamps (or a single round pottery lamp to the left-hand side) to the buffet itself -- plus a large wood bowl filled with pine cones or small white pumpkins (or both) in the middle of the buffet .....

Yes, I also like them best in a straight line.
I like those prints!
:)

No hijack intended--thanks ellendi!

Also agree that more stuff may be required, but don't spread them out just to fill up the space.

Hang them close together in a straight line. I had a similar problem with 3 pictures, positioned them and moved them, again and again. Ended up with them close together in a straight line.

Very nice prints! I would space them straight across and closer together. More like the stock photo.

Imo they are not really suited for the space over your piano. Do you have a wall where they can be placed somewhat lower? And then they should be arranged in a row, with the space between each print not more than 1.5 or 2 times the width of the frame.

what marcolo said.

I echo everyone's "close together, straight line" vote, but you don't have to center them over the buffet.

You don't need symmetry, but you do need balance. If the prints are left of center, you need something tallish on the right side of the buffet. Candles or a lamp, dried flowers in a vase, or something sculptural.
