Proper picture hanging hieight on 9 foot wall.

Find the distance between the top of the picture and the picture hanging hardware. Also if you have a hanging wire pull it taught. Take this measurement from the backside of the frame. For a standard 8 foot high gallery wall viewed from a standing position the optimal position for a painting or piece of art is eye level.

You want the measurement based on how high taught the wire will be when it s hung on the wall. The location at which you hang art depends on the wall height the position from which you view it and the artwork s size. Mine measured 6 5 from the wire to the top of the frame. Whether it s one large work of art or a grouping of several there are a couple of rules to hanging pictures over a sofa.

You see jay sacher and suzanne lagasa say the right height to hang the center of your artwork is 57 inches or four feet nine inches from the floor. The gallery wall can go up as high as you want but make sure you leave a gap of at least one foot between the highest point of the gallery wall and the ceiling. When working with several frames the center of the picture grouping rather than the center of any one picture should hit the 57 inch level on the wall.
