Wall Art Sculpture Display Tips

Once you’ve purchased your new piece of wall art, the process of determining where and how to display it can be quite intimidating some times. In this article we are going to take a look at some of the basics to follow when displaying your wall art sculptures.

Tip #1: Line of Sight

You always want your line of sight to be focused on the center of your wall art. This is important to take into consideration when hanging your piece of art in the vicinity of surrounding of decor, such as sofas and tables. Make sure that everything is lined up, so the space does not seem cluttered.

Example: If you are hanging your wall art over a sofa, ensure that the piece of directly centered above the sofa. The distance from each end of the art, to each end of the sofa should be exactly the same.

Tip #2: Wall Art Display Height

A good rule of thumb is to hang your sculpture, or painting approximately  5 feet above your floor. This height is determined by measuring the distance from the floor, to the middle of your painting. (The middle point of your wall art should be around 60-65 inches above the ground)

This of course should only be done when applicable. If you are hanging art above your sofa, you may not be able to adhere to these standards. In these cases, you should try and position the wall art 6 inches to a foot above your furniture. You’ll determine this distance by measuring from the back of the sofa to the bottom edge of the art.
