HOW TO HANG ART, PART 1: SIDE-BY-SIDE PAIRS

Home staging with Spade and Archer Design Agency can be a bit different than interior design. With home staging we have to make sure the house is the star and the furnishings are back up dancers. The staging should be good, but it should not outshine the house itself.

When hanging a set, be sure to space them equal distant away from either each other or from the object they are splitting. In this case they have been hung with six inches on both the right and left side and at the same height as each other. We use the museum standard of hanging the middle of the art at eye level or 57” above the finished floor. 

One of the biggest mistakes we see when hanging pairs of art is to hang out 5 or 6 inches higher than the other. While there is a time and place for this (we will explore this in hanging art in staircases) this rule should almost never be used in flat rooms.
