Tip for Wall Art: The 60 Inches on Center Rule


At Smile, our mission is to bring joy and inspiration to your home with our art. Our motto, "We don't put art on your walls; we put a smile on your face," guides us in creating pieces that brighten your day. One essential tip for hanging your wall art perfectly is the "60 inches on center" rule.

What is the 60 Inches on Center Rule?

The "60 inches on center" rule is a simple guideline for hanging art at an optimal height. It means that the center of the artwork should be 60 inches above the ground. This height is considered ideal for viewing art comfortably at eye level, creating a balanced and harmonious look in your space. Here's how to apply this rule:

  1. Measure 60 Inches from the Ground: Use a measuring tape to mark 60 inches on the wall from the floor.
  2. Find the Center of Your Art: Measure the height of your artwork and divide it by two to find the center point.
  3. Calculate the Hanging Point: Add the distance from the top of the artwork to its hanging hardware to your center measurement.
  4. Mark the Wall: Use these measurements to mark where the nail or hook should go on the wall.
  5. Hang Your Art: Hang your artwork so that its center is at the 60-inch mark you made earlier.
