How to hang wall art?
A general rule when hanging wall art is that it should sit 57 – 60 inches above floor level. This is the optimal eye height. When placing artwork above furniture, leave about six inches between the artwork and furniture. To make sure you get the spacing and look right, use masking tape to outline the prints on the wall.
