How to Hang Photos in the Right Spot
Regardless of where in the house you have a wall available, the size of the picture or composition is crucial to its placement for the best display. Larger pictures require more space, while smaller ones can be placed practically anywhere. When looking for the right spot, consider your furniture as well since you can add pictures to them without hanging them. Some areas where pictures or paintings should not be missing are the dining room or living room. These are two of the areas that guests pay the most attention to, making them the best corners to showcase your pictures.
What Height Should Photos Be Hung At?
Getting a picture or photo to hang correctly depends on many factors, one of which is the height. Around one-third of the image should be above the average height of our eye, and two-thirds below. In general, we recommend that the center of the picture be between 1.40 and 1.50 meters high.
