This 'Golden Rule' for Hanging Wall Art Will Result in a Perfectly Placed Picture for a More Balanced Look

A living room with a gallery wall.

Even if you're the most restrained minimalist out there, no room is complete without some wall art. While bare walls do have their place, a framed print, photograph, or painted canvas can create a wonderful focal point to tie a room together. 

The problem arises, however, when you have to decide precisely where to hang said art. Whether you're decorating the space above the sofa for some stylish living room wall art or adding a curated gallery wall to a hallway, the perfect spot might seem obvious. That's until you actually add your picture hook and hang your chosen artwork, only for it to look off-balance at the wrong height.
