Hanging Artwork
From placement to scale, we took
the guesswork out of styling your walls.
A Single Piece
Hang at eye level, keeping the midpoint approximately 60" above the floor. When hanging above a piece of furniture, keep 4–6" of space below the bottom of the frame.
Multiple Pieces
Treat multiple pieces as one collective unit. Arrange at eye level, roughly 60" from the center of the grouping to the floor, leaving 2–5"of space between each piece.
Ledges and Shelves
Keep the display at eye level, roughly 60" from the center of the grouping to the floor. Start with one piece as the focal point and position it slightly off-center, then layer additional pieces of various sizes and spacing between them.
Gallery Wall
Arrange the center of the grouping at eye level, roughly 60" from the floor. Hang additional frames with 2–5"of space between each piece.
DESIGN TIPS
Start at eye level
Hang artwork at the same height of your eyes when standing, or roughly 60" from the center of the frame to the floor.
Space planning
When hanging multiple pieces, avoid arranging frames too closely by spacing pieces a couple of inches apart.
Scale is key
Artwork should span 2/3 the width of furniture that sits below it. Consider multiple pieces as one collective unit.
