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 .
Uniform spacing is essential for a structured and visually pleasing gallery wall .

5. Maintain consistency with the interior decor

For a professional result, harmonize:

  • the materials (wood, metal, black, white),
  • the colours (neutral, natural or contrasting tones),
  • the overall style of your room.

To position your frames correctly, simply respect eye level, maintain regular spacing, and create a cohesive composition. With these simple rules, your wall decor will become a real asset to your interior.
