Picture Hanging Tips

  • Hang pictures so that the middle is at eye level. That’s between 58 and 62 inches from the floor.
  • Cluster three to four smaller pictures together instead of spreading them out across the room to create a finished look.
  • Pictures in a dining room can be hung lower on the wall since they will be viewed while seated.
  • When creating a picture grouping, place the heaviest picture at the bottom.
  • Cut out newspaper templates and tape them to the wall to help determine the best placement.
  • Vertical artwork creates a more formal setting; horizontal artwork creates a casual and restful setting.
