Title: Hanging Art Too High? 90% of People Do
Universal rule: Center of art at 145–155cm (57–61″) from floor—eye level for an average adult.
By space:
🛋️ Above sofa → bottom edge 15–25cm (6–10″) above sofa back
🛏️ Above bed → bottom edge 20–30cm (8–12″) above headboard
🍽️ Above dining table → bottom edge 60–80cm (24–31″) above table
🚪 Entryway → center at 150–155cm (59–61″) from floor
📚 Above desk → bottom edge 30–40cm (12–16″) above desk
🚽 Bathroom → center at ~150cm (59″) from floor
Gallery wall spacing:
- Two pieces: 10–15cm (4–6″) apart
- Three pieces: 8–12cm (3–5″) apart
- Two rows: 15–20cm (6–8″) apart
One-line rule:
Hang art relative to furniture, not the ceiling.
Align bottom edge slightly above furniture top. You can’t go wrong.
