Before determining the exact location of the items, you intend to hang, you’ll need to do a little prep work. First, try to locate the wall studs in the area where you plan to hang your item(s). If you find the stud(s), arrange the items in a way that you think looks the best.

A good formula for hanging items is to position the center of the piece 57 inches (1.45 meters) above the floor. This is a generally accepted height for hanging items since it puts the center of the piece at about eye level for an average person. This helps ensure your wall hanging receives the appreciation they deserve.

If the item you are hanging has a wire that it will hang from, use the formula x-y + 57 to position your hardware perfectly. In this formula “x” is half of the height of the frame, while “y” is the distance between the top of the wire when pulled up and the top of the frame. Need help figuring it all out?
