| If your painting is hanging
on the wall with no furnishings below please, please, please don't hang
it too high. It's the most common mistake homeowners make. The center
of the painting should hang at 54" from the floor. It's
a comfortable
viewing height. The artwork will look great too! The exception to the
54" rule is when you're hanging artwork over a sofa. The artwork
should rest about 10" above the sofa. For credenzas hang the artwork about 8" above the top. |
Consider scale when choosing the perfect location for your piece. For example, a tiny painting hanging over a large sofa just doesn't work. Nor does a huge piece over a small sofa. Remember 'scale', you'll soon develop an eye for what looks right. Check out decorating magazines... see what the experts do and 'borrow' their ideas! | ||
