the first mistake many people make ishanging their art either too high or too low. art hung too high gives the sense that thepiece is floating in space, with no relation to the other objectsand furniture in the room. art hung too low can make your room feel cramped and lessen the impact of your art forcing viewers to look down at the piece, instead of seeing it at eye level. to avoid this faux pas, hang artwork at eye level, typically, 57 inches from the floor to the center of your artwork. if you're hanging artwork above a piece of furniture, make sure to leave eight inches of space between the top of the furniture and the bottom of your artwork.
the second most common mistakepeople make when hanging artwork is choosing a piece that's too small fortheir space. it's always better to go too big than too small.
