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.

A single piece

Hang at eye level, keeping the midpoint
approximately 60" above the floor. When hanging
above a piece of furniture, keep 4–6" of space
below the bottom of the frame.

Multiple pieces

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.

Shop Wall Art Sets

Ledges and shelves

Keep the display at eye level, roughly 60" from
the center of the grouping to the floor. 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.

Shop Ledges & Shelves

Gallery Wall

Arrange the center of the grouping at
eye level, roughly 60" from the floor.
Hang additional frames with 2–5"
of space between each piece.
