I wish I could say that creating a gallery wall was easy, peasy. Sometimes it can go very wrong! But if you follow some easy rules, it shouldn’t be too taxing a job. Getting it right can make all the difference to the overall effect of your design. The devil is in the detail. Follow my simple steps to hanging art or mirrors below.
When hanging a single piece above a console or sideboard, make sure it is approximately 152 cm from the floor and should be at least 2/3 of the width of the piece of furniture.
Make your Gallery Wall perfect by having 5-12 cm between frames, vary your layout for a relaxed feel. The centre of your gallery should be at eye level and the distance below and above the frames should be approximately the same.
If you choose to go with the rule of three, with multiple pieces, the overall width should be at least two thirds the width of the furniture below.
