How to Measure for a Picture Frame or Wall Art
Wall space, art height (relative to furniture), and the rule of two-thirds for centered placement.
Hanging art looks intentional when it follows three rules: centered horizontally on the wall, eye level vertically (when standing), and 2/3 the width of the furniture beneath. iPhone makes verifying these instant.
Perché misurare
- Center art on the wall (or above furniture)
- Hang at correct eye-level height (~145-155 cm to center)
- Match scale to furniture (2/3 rule)
- Plan multi-piece gallery walls
Cosa ti serve
- iPhone with Ruler AR
- Length and Height modes
- Bubble level for hanging
Passo dopo passo
- Wall width. Tap left edge of wall to right edge.
- Furniture width (if hanging above). Sofa, console, bed width. Art should be 2/3 of this.
- Eye level marker. Use Height mode. Mark 145-155 cm on the wall (varies with viewer height). Center of frame goes here.
- Frame center to top. On the frame: tap from center to top edge. This tells you how high to drive the nail (eye-level + half height + ~2 cm hanging wire).
Consigli
- For gallery walls: leave 5-10 cm gap between frames
- Above sofa: leave 15-25 cm gap between art bottom and sofa top
Errori comuni
- Hanging too high, art floats far above furniture
- Center misalignment by even 2-3 cm reads wrong
