The Philosophy of Hanging Art

Sometimes we don't have any ideas to set up the new artwork in the wall. Interior designer Eleanor Büsing provide some suggestion of the hanging art. The details as below:

Height is important

For large individual pieces, aim to hang artwork at “eye level” or slightly lower – roughly 57-60” from floor to center of the artwork.

The horizontal standard is not at the bottom

When hanging a row of artwork in different sizes, align the pieces at their center points (which should be your established “house height”). Don’t line up a row of pieces by the tops or bottoms.

Combined hanging

If you like the idea of a gallery wall, but want something more organized, stick to a grid format, especially if your artwork is similar in size and shape.

When hanging a gallery wall, consider the group as a whole. Hang an “anchor piece” at the correct height, and spread out from there.
