Frequently Asked Questions

Start by measuring your wall space and deciding on a style (grid, salon, linear, etc.). Use our generator to visualize different layouts. Consider the spacing between frames (typically 2-3 inches), ensure proper eye-level positioning (center at 57-60 inches from floor), and lay out your frames on the floor first before hanging.

The ideal spacing between frames is typically 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm). For a cohesive look, keep spacing consistent throughout. Smaller frames can be closer together (1.5-2 inches), while larger frames benefit from slightly more space (3-4 inches). Our layouts use optimal spacing ratios.

The center of your gallery wall arrangement should be at eye level, which is typically 57-60 inches (145-152 cm) from the floor. This is the standard museum hanging height. For areas with seating, you may want to hang slightly lower, around 48-52 inches from the floor.

A mix of sizes creates visual interest. Common sizes include 4×6", 5×7", 8×10", 11×14", and 16×20". For grid layouts, use uniform sizes. For salon or eclectic styles, mix 2-3 different sizes. Include one larger 'anchor' piece (16×20" or bigger) to ground the arrangement.

Gallery walls typically work best with 3-12 frames. Smaller walls (under 4 feet wide) suit 3-5 frames. Medium walls (4-8 feet) can handle 5-9 frames. Large walls (over 8 feet) can accommodate 9+ frames. Start with fewer and add more over time if desired.

Not necessarily! Grid layouts look best with uniform frame sizes for a clean, modern look. Salon and eclectic styles benefit from mixed sizes to create visual interest. The key is balance—if using different sizes, distribute them evenly so no area feels too heavy or sparse.

🖼️ Note: Measurements are approximate and for planning purposes. Always double-check your specific frame dimensions before hanging.
