What is the formula for hanging pictures?

When hanging something at an average eye level, position its center 57 to 60 inches from the floor. Use the following formula: Divide the height of the frame by two; from that number, subtract the distance from the top of the frame to the hanging hardware; add this number to 57, 58, 59, or 60.

How do you arrange pictures on a wall?

Aim for 3–6 inches between each piece of wall art and around all sides of the frames. Arrange larger art with more space between frames, and group smaller art closer together. Also, make sure there is plenty of space between the frames and trim and molding so the gallery has room to breathe.

How high should I hang a picture on the wall?

A good rule of thumb is to hang art so that its midpoint is between 57 and 60 inches from the floor. Aim for the lower end of the range if most members of your household are on the short side; in rooms with ceilings higher than eight feet, artwork can be hung a little higher than 60 inches off the floor.

Should picture be hung at the same height?

If you hang all your photos using the 57 inches rule, then the centers of all of your frames should be at the same height, even if your collection includes pieces of different heights. Hard lines, like those created from matching the tops of the frames, can look very harsh in a room.

Should you center a picture on the wall?
