Introduction: Hang Your Prints Like a Pro
Getting the placement right can transform your space — whether you're showcasing a single statement piece or a curated gallery wall. This guide will walk you through ideal hanging heights, spacing rules, and layout strategies to create a polished display that complements your decor.
1. Set the Ideal Hanging Height
Aim to hang prints so that the centre of the artwork is at eye level — typically around 145–150 cm (57–60 inches) from the floor. For seating areas like sofas or dining tables, lower the print slightly to align with the seated eye line.
Feature pick: The bold California Dreams, with its large scale and striking imagery, works as a beautiful focal point at this height. Explore more in our bestselling large prints collection.
2. Create a Striking Layout
Single Statement Piece
Let pieces like Abstract Elegance stand alone on a blank wall for maximum impact.
Balanced Gallery Wall
Use Gallery Wall Sets as a perfect base—start with eight to ten prints from our Small Prints, arranged symmetrically, and center them around a strong focal print like Lion's Majesty.
Eclectic Wall Cluster
Mix sizes and subjects—pair the atmospheric Enchanted Canopy with striking abstracts or nature scenes such as the Ripples of Color alongside River Serenity.
3. Mastering Spacing
- Keep 5–8 cm (2–3 inches) between frames for a unified look.
- Above furniture: maintain 15–25 cm (6–10 inches) from the top of the piece to the bottom of the frame.
4. Visualize Before Hanging
Use paper templates taped to the wall to plan group layouts—this avoids unnecessary holes and gives you a true sense of the final arrangement.
5. A Unified Frame Style Brings Harmony
Choose from our curated Framed Prints to unify diverse artworks with matching framing and matting—especially effective for gallery-style arrangements.
6. Light It Wisely
Avoid direct sunlight to preserve your artwork. Instead, consider adjustable picture lights or focused overhead fixtures to highlight features like texture and color depth—particularly effective for special prints like California Dreams.
Conclusion: Display with Confidence
Applying these hang height, spacing, and layout strategies ensures your art doesn't just sit on the wall—it transforms the space. Whether you're creating a statement piece or a gallery wall, these tips deliver professional polish without the hassle.
