Basics of Grouping Art With
Furniture |
|
 |
| |
Fill 2/3 of the Wall Space
When placing art above furniture such as sofas, chair groupings or
console tables, "eyeball" the amount of space between the furniture and
the ceiling, then allocate 2/3's of that space for pictures. |

How
High to Hang
Hanging a print too high above a piece of furniture can leave both
pieces feeling disconnected. A good guideline is 5-9 inches above the
furniture.

Spacing Art
When hanging a print above a sofa, remember to leave arm space above the
sofa back. A quick trick: lay your arm flat against the back of the sofa
and roll up once to get a good "clearance" measure. |

 Hanging
Pictures at Eye Level
"Eye level" is often defined as art center aligned
at 58" from the floor. While this is a good guideline for larger pieces,
it can leave smaller pieces stranded on a wall.
It is perfectly acceptable to hang a print at seated eye level, so that
the seated person can enjoy the view! Examples include dressing areas,
powder rooms, cozy reading nooks, home offices and breakfast bars.

 Pictures
& Oversized Furniture
Oversized furniture calls for robust art prints to strike a balance. For
visual weight, consider a grouping of 2 or 3 prints that carry strong
visual weight through color or a wider molding and mat combination.
