how to
Hang Artwork
From placement to scale, we took the
guesswork out of styling your walls.
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.
Multiple Piece
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 & shelves
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
frames with 2–5" of space
between each piece.
