Exactly where to put the nail so art hangs at the right height.
How this works
Galleries hang the centre of art at about 145 cm from the floor, which is average eye level. Above a sofa, bed or sideboard, leave 15 to 25 cm between the furniture and the bottom of the frame, and aim for art about two thirds of the furniture width.
