Grand Rapids, Mich. (WOTV) - Have you ever found yourself wondering if the new wall art you just hung is too high or too low? Well, the wondering is about to change, my friends. With a couple of tips, you’ll be hanging art like a pro.

The first thing to consider is this- will the art be viewed by people standing or sitting? Wall art looks best when viewed at eye level or slightly lower. If your art is going above your furniture, like a sofa or cabinet, grab your tape measure and make sure there are 4-8 inches between the bottom of the art and the top of the furniture. If you have a grouping of frames or going for a gallery look on a wall, keep 2 inches between the frames. You’ll have picture perfect walls in no time!
