How To Hang Art Correctly

How To Hang Art Correctly

Have you ever hung a piece of art, stepped back and thought, "something doesn't feel right, but I can't pin point it"? 9 times out of 10, when I go to someone else’s home, the first thing I notice is how high their art is placed. It makes the room feel out of balance because it is not placed at the correct (drum roll for my favorite word) scale.

Galleries hang art at 60” from the floor to the center of the piece. This is so it falls at eye level for most people, therefore allowing you access from anywhere in the space. It draws you in and makes you want to engage with the art. And your home is no exception!

You shouldn’t have to crane your neck to be looking at artwork. You want it at eye level so you can admire it easily! This also helps ground your home and elevates it instantly, without having to spend any money.
