Plan your gallery wall, to scale
Set your wall, drag the prints into place, and take the hanging measurements straight off the drawing. Then find the prints to fill it.
Start planningPlan your wall
Your wall, to scale. Drag the prints wherever you like — they click to each other’s edges and to your gap — tap one to change its size, and slide the whole group up or down by the marker at the right. Then read the hanging measurements straight off the drawing.
How to plan a gallery wall with it
The drawing is your wall to scale, floor at the bottom, eye level marked. Drag a print anywhere and it clicks to its neighbours’ edges and centres, exactly one gap apart; hover beside any print to add another, tap one to change its size, and slide the whole group up or down by the marker at the right. Change the gap and the whole arrangement re-spaces itself.
The measurements are written on the drawing the way a plan writes them: the group’s width and height, the space each side, the height of the top edge above the floor. Copy the plan and you get every frame’s left edge and top edge from the floor as text; copy the link and the wall comes back exactly as you left it. Frames usually hang 3 to 5 cm below their hook, so check yours before marking.
Find the prints for your wallGallery wall spacing and height: three rules
5 to 8 cm between frames
Closer and the frames crowd each other; further and they stop reading as one group. Use the same gap between rows as between prints.
Centre the group at 145 cm
The centre of the whole arrangement, not of each print, sits at eye level: the convention galleries hang to, and the one a room reads as right.
15 to 25 cm above furniture
Over a sofa or a sideboard, the lowest frame wants a hand’s width or two of wall above the back. Lower and it looks like it slipped.
Gallery wall questions
- How far apart should frames be on a gallery wall?
- Between 5 and 8 cm, and the same distance between rows as between prints. Closer and the frames crowd each other; wider and they stop reading as one group. The planner clicks prints to exactly the gap you set.
- How high should a gallery wall be hung?
- Hang the group so its centre - the centre of the whole arrangement, not of each print - sits at about 145 cm from the floor. That is the convention galleries hang to. Above a sofa or sideboard, leave 15 to 25 cm between the furniture and the lowest frame.
- How do I plan a gallery wall layout before drilling?
- Measure the wall, decide the gap, and lay the arrangement out to scale first. The planner draws your wall with the prints on it and writes the measurements on the drawing, so you know each frame’s left edge and its top edge from the floor before you mark anything. Frames usually hang 3 to 5 cm below their hook.
- Which print sizes work together on a gallery wall?
- Mixing one portrait size with one square size is the simplest way to get a wall that looks arranged rather than stacked: 50 × 70 cm portraits with 50 × 50 cm squares share a width, so columns line up while the heights vary. Every arrangement in the planner uses those two sizes.
