Gallery Wall Measurement Calculator
Here’s a comprehensive table summarizing the key measurements and guidelines for creating a perfect gallery wall:
| Aspect | Measurement/Guideline |
|---|---|
| Center of gallery wall | Approximately 145cm (57 inches) above the floor |
| Bottom of lowest frame (above furniture) | 7-10 inches above the top of the furniture |
| Bottom of gallery wall (empty wall) | Aim for the arrangement to hang around 57 inches above the floor |
| Spacing between frames | 5-10cm (2-4 inches) apart |
| Total wall space | Measure available space top to bottom and left to right |
| Frame arrangement | Start with the middle picture and work outwards |
| Gallery wall width | Determine based on available wall space and desired impact |
| Gallery wall height | Consider ceiling height and furniture placement |
| Frame sizes | Mix different sizes for visual interest |
| Frame styles | Combine 2-3 different styles (e.g., white, black, wood) |
| Orientation | Mix horizontal and vertical pieces |
| Largest piece placement | In one of the four outer corners or just off-center |
| Second largest piece placement | Diagonally from the largest piece |
| Overall layout | Aim for visual balance and asymmetry |
Remember to measure your wall space carefully, plan your layout on the floor first, and hang frames one at a time to ensure proper placement.
