Deco-Furniture

When placing art above furniture such as chairs, sofas, beds, groupings or console tables, "eyeball" the amount of space between the furniture and the ceiling, then allocate 2/3's of that space for pictures.


When You would like to hang a painting too high above a piece of furniture can leave both pieces feeling disconnected. Best guideline is 5-9 inches above the furniture.


When You hanging a print above a furniture, you should to leave arm space above the furniture back.
TRICK: lay your arm flat against the back of the sofa and roll up once to get a good "clearance" measure.


Generally the middle of painting should be at eye level - 58" from the floor. It's
best acceptable to hang a picture at seated eye level, so that the seated person can enjoy the view.


Oversized furniture calls for robust art prints to strike a balance. For visual weight, consider a grouping of 2-3 painting that carry strong visual weight through color or a wider molding and mat combination.
