Where to hang art

Start from the furniture: each spot has its own shape, size and height rules.

Above the Sofa 830 paintings · 56 to 63 in wide over an 84 in sofa The classic spot, and the one most often hung too small.
Above the Bed 959 paintings · 40 to 45 in wide over a 60 in headboard Wide, calm and low in contrast, centered on the headboard.
Above the Fireplace 971 paintings · 44 to 50 in wide over a 66 in mantel The room's natural focal point, so one strong work, never a cluster.
Above a Console 1,127 paintings · 36 to 41 in wide over a 54 in console table Mirror the console's footprint and let the painting finish the vignette.
Above the Dining Table 880 paintings · 48 to 54 in wide over a 72 in dining table Hang lower than you think: the room is used sitting down.
Above a Desk 1,111 paintings · 40 to 45 in wide over a 60 in desk Quiet subjects at eye level for the chair, not the door.
Along the Stairs 1,073 paintings · 12 to 24 in wide each Follow the diagonal and keep the frames alike.
Above the Bathtub 441 paintings · 36 to 45 in wide over a 60 in tub Water subjects for a wet room, printed on something that can take it.
