Professional Art Hanging Calculator
Professional Installation Notes
The standard museum practice places artwork at eye level, with the center at 57-60 inches from the floor.
For artwork hung above furniture, maintain 8-12 inches of space between the furniture top and artwork bottom.
Always account for the "wire drop" - the difference between the wire's highest point and its position when supporting weight.
For heavy artwork, use appropriate wall anchors and consider the wall material (drywall, plaster, brick).
Group arrangements should be treated as a single unit, with the center of the grouping at eye level.
In hallways or areas where people walk by, consider hanging artwork slightly higher to account for movement.
How to Use the Art Hanging Height Calculator
Enter your artwork's dimensions, ceiling height, wire drop, and room type (standard wall, above furniture, high/low ceilings). The tool calculates precise hook height and shows a visual preview of correct artwork placement. Built for designers, homeowners, and installers.
Why Use the Art Hanging Calculator
Wrong hanging height ruins visual balance and feels amateur. This calculator removes the guesswork and gives you museum-level precision—tailored to your actual wall, furniture, and hanging hardware setup. The difference between “nice try” and “gallery worthy.”
