![]() The picture or arrangement should be no more than two-thirds the width of the furniture. Sofas and beds: The general rule for placing a large picture or group of pictures over large furniture is to center above the furniture.There should be a natural flow between the furniture, pictures, and empty wall space. Pictures should be part of your overall wall design that also includes the space furniture takes up. You'll want any pictures you hang above furniture to look as though they belong within the space. Step Two: Picture Widths and Furniture Widths Mark this with a pencil and install the nail or screw system to hang your picture.įollow this formula to end up with a wall of pictures neatly hung at eye level. This is the distance you'll measure from floor up the wall.(In the case of picture wire, you'll pull the wire up toward the top as it would be stretch when hung on the wall and measure the distance.) So, if your picture drop is 2 inches, you'd take 79 - 2 = 77 inches. The drop is calculated by measuring the distance between the top of the picture and the hanger, such as a sawtooth, D-loop or picture wire. The picture drop (d) is then subtracted from the 58 inches.For example, if your picture is 42 inches tall, you'd take 42 ÷ 2 = 21 inches. Measure the height of the picture (h) and divide this number in half.According to Purdue University, the formula you need to use for calculating each picture placement at eye level is 1/2h + 58 - d = nail height. Then proceed to figure the eye level instead of the center height. Start by calculating the center width of the wall as described in the symmetrical directions. Step Two: Formula for Calculating Eye Level Remove tape and enjoy your wall gallery.Proceed with the arrangement you pre-planned and repeat the process until all of your pictures have been hung on the wall.Once you have hung the picture, measure four strips of painter's tape the width you desire between your pictures and apply to the wall from the edges of your picture (use level for even placement).The first picture you want to hang is the one that will be in the center of your grouping. ![]()
