""This not only allows you to figure out what goes where, but how much spacing to allow between pieces. When arranging a gallery wall, you don't need to have the exact same spacing between each piece; some pieces need more breathing room than others.""
""Most clients hang their pieces way too high-just lowering them a few inches makes them feel more considered. If it's going above furniture, I leave about 6-8 inches above a sideboard or console to the bottom of the frame, a little more above a sofa, so they don't feel too intrusive.""
""I usually choose hardware that is rated higher than the weight of the piece so that I have the additional peace of mind.""
To create a gallery wall, lay out pieces on the floor to find the best arrangement and spacing. Artwork should generally be hung 57 inches above the ground, which is the average eye level. When placing art above furniture, maintain a distance of 6-8 inches from the top of the furniture to the bottom of the frame. Use appropriate hardware based on the weight of the artwork, ensuring it is rated higher than the piece for safety.
