Dear Chums – Hanging Art…..How High?

“Dear Chums,

We have just painted our living room and are now ready to hang some art.  People have differing opinions on how high art should be.”

Dear Stymied By Decorating,

Great question!  Most people hang art way too high. The rule of thumb is that art should be hung at eye level.   Now, if you are a very short person (or a very tall person), put it a little higher (or a little lower) than your eye level.  You don’t want people having to look up or to look down to get a good look at what is on your walls.

Hope this helps.
