Hanging your art at eye level gives you the best visual experience. For most, this is about 5 feet (or roughly 60 inches) from the center of the art to the floor. But, it’s your home, so if you’re a little taller or shorter, hang your art at your eye level. It’s all about placing the art where you can see it best!
Where is the best place to put a painting?
A great place to hang artwork is over a mantlepiece or fireplace. This is especially true for large centrepieces you want to draw attention to but also for smaller collections. If the artwork is placed too close to the mantlepiece, the display can appear cramped or cluttered.
How do I choose an art style for my house?
– The purpose: Is it purely decorative, or do you want something meaningful?
– Color schemes that complement or contrast with your interior design ideas.
– The scale of art in relation to your space.
– The emotional impact and thematic relevance of the art.
How to arrange paintings in your home?
For groups of paintings, treat the group as a single unit and hang the center of the group at eye level. Hang art 6 inches above furniture. If you’re hanging artwork above a piece of furniture like a bed, sofa, table, or mantle, hang the art 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) above the piece.Mar 4, 2023
