This is usually about 1.5 metres from the floor. 2. Choose your favourite artwork and hang it in the middle of your display to anchor your arrangement. Then work outwards. 3. Leave a 5cm-10cm gap between each piece to give it breathing space. 4. When hanging artwork of varying sizes in a row, align them at the horizontal centre points. Don’t line them up by the top or bottom. 5. Mix and match different styles. Combine modern prints with vintage photo frames and hang classic pictures above contemporary furniture for a truly curated look. 6. Hang art where you can enjoy it most. Hallways, staircases or above a sofa are all good focal points.
