How to Place Artwork in a Home Interior
Choose artwork scale and height based on furniture, sightlines and the room’s use.
Start with your home and household
Center art in relation to the sofa or console rather than an entire wall when the furniture defines the zone. Use suitable fixings for the wall type. Add the relevant measurements and product requirements to the room brief, then compare the proposed layout at full scale before ordering.
A common mistake to avoid
A small frame floating high above furniture can look disconnected. Mock up the paper outline before drilling. Confirm the final choice against the actual site, the manufacturer's guidance and the people who will use the room.
Before you finalize
- Measure the room and note fixed services, openings and clear walking routes.
- Compare material samples and written specifications, not just names or images.
- Record the agreed scope, budget, installation details and maintenance needs.
