Sizing and Hanging Tips
The 2/3 Rule: Art should be about 2/3 the width of the furniture below it. This is the single most reliable guideline for balanced proportions.
Eye Level = 57 inches: Center your art at 57 inches from the floor. This is the museum standard. When art is above furniture, hang the bottom edge 6-8 inches above it.
Gallery Walls: Keep 2-3 inches between frames. Treat the entire grouping as one piece and apply the same sizing rules to the total arrangement.
Empty Walls: Without furniture as an anchor, fill 1/2 to 2/3 of the wall width. Centering is key. Use a single oversized piece or a curated gallery wall.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 2/3 rule for wall art?
The 2/3 rule says your art should be about two-thirds the width of the furniture below it. If your sofa is 84 inches wide, aim for art that's roughly 56 inches wide. This creates a balanced, proportional look without the art feeling too small or overwhelming the space.
How high should I hang art above a sofa?
Hang art so the bottom edge is 6 to 8 inches above the top of your sofa or furniture. If there's no furniture below, center the art at 57 inches from the floor, which is roughly average eye level in galleries and museums. This keeps the art visually connected to the furniture instead of floating too high.
What size art should I put on an empty wall?
For a wall with no furniture below, the art should fill about half to two-thirds of the wall width. On a 10-foot wall, that means art in the 60 to 80 inch range. If that feels too large for a single piece, consider a gallery wall or diptych to fill the space.
Should wall art be horizontal or vertical?
It depends on the wall and what's around it. Horizontal (landscape) art works well above wide furniture like sofas, beds, and console tables. Vertical (portrait) art is better for narrow walls, between windows, or flanking a doorway. Square art is versatile and works in most spots.
