These guidelines work in most rooms and are easy to adjust once you see the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Centre at eye level.<\/strong> Many galleries hang the centre of a work about 145 to 155 cm (57 to 61 inches) from the floor. Treat that as a starting point and adjust it to your room.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Above furniture,<\/strong> leave roughly 15 to 25 cm (6 to 10 inches) between the top of a sofa or sideboard and the bottom of the frame.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>For a group of works,<\/strong> lay them out on the floor first, or tape paper templates to the wall, and keep the gaps between frames even.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Use the right fixings<\/strong> for your wall and the weight of the work. For heavy pieces, use two hooks so the frame stays level.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Mind the light.<\/strong> Avoid strong direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators, which can fade or damage paper and paint over time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not sure where a new piece should go? Many galleries offer advice on frames and hanging. Send a photo of your wall with its measurements, and ask what would work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few simple rules for height, spacing and light make any wall look considered, from one painting to a full gallery wall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":32,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-galleri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-galleri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-galleri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-galleri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-galleri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51,"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-galleri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9\/revisions\/51"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-galleri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-galleri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-galleri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-galleri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
