The most common decorating mistake? Hanging art too high. Get the details right and even an inexpensive print looks like a designer choice. Here's the complete guide.
The Magic Number: 57 Inches
Hang art so its center sits about 57 inches from the floor — standard gallery eye level. This single rule fixes most awkward arrangements.
Spacing Above Furniture
When hanging above a sofa or console, leave 6 to 10 inches between the furniture and the bottom of the frame so the two feel connected.
Sizing the Art to the Wall
Your art (or grouping) should span about two-thirds the width of the furniture below it. Too small, and it floats; too large, and it crowds.
Spacing Between Multiple Pieces
Keep 2 to 3 inches between frames in a grouping so they read as one cohesive unit.
Choosing the Right Piece
Match the mood of the room: calm and minimal for bedrooms, characterful for living spaces. Browse our Wall Art collection to find yours.
