How to display wall art in your home?

Where and how high to hang wall art: above a sofa, fireplace, stairs or table, the museum height rule, and ten wall art layouts to copy.

The best zones where you can place a wall art:

• Sofa - better if the art will be 2/3 of the sofa width.
• Fireplace - better if the art will be 2/3 of the mantel width. Hang art 20-30 cm above from the mantle.
• Stairs - measure up from every third step to form a diagonal line.
• Table - consider hanging art a bit lower to factor in your seated viewing height.

To get the right height you can use the museum approach:

145 cm + half the length of your painting - distance from wire at full tension to the top of the frame.

Also, we've prepared the set of inspiring wall art layouts. So don't hesitate to use it in your interiors.
