How to properly position your frames?

Properly positioning your picture frames is essential for creating a harmonious wall display and enhancing your interior. Here are some simple rules to know for hanging your frames like a pro.

1. At what height should I hang my picture frames?

The ideal height for a frame is 1.60 m from the ground , which is eye level .
This measure creates a natural alignment and avoids the most common mistake: hanging frames too high.

2. Position a frame above a piece of furniture

For a balanced decoration above a sofa, sideboard or headboard:

• leave 20 to 30 cm between the furniture and the bottom of the frame;
• The space occupied by your frame(s) should represent between 20% and 40% of the surface of your furniture for a coherent visual result.

3. Creating a successful gallery wall

For an aesthetically pleasing gallery wall:

• Choose a composition (aligned, centered, or free-form).
• identifies a “pivotal” framework
• and places the others around to create a true visual harmony .

4. Spacing: the key to balanced wall decor

The ideal gap between each frame is between 3 and 7 cm .
