Hang artwork at the right height. Galleries and museums hang artwork so that the midline (center) of each piece is 57 inches to 60 inches from the floor. (The average human eye level is 57 inches.) And you should do the same. In a room like this, where the ceilings soar, there might be a
tendency to hang the art higher. But remember: It needs to relate to
human scale, not the structure’s scale. If you’re not sure, take a
picture. It’s remarkable how much a photo can reveal. Print it out or use
Photoshop or an app to draw on the photo. This can give you a sense of
whether a larger or smaller piece of art is needed or a tall plant might
be best to fill a vacant spot.
