Visual balance is achieved when your art occupies 60% to 75% of the furniture width below it. This ensures the piece anchors the room rather than floating aimlessly.
Museums and galleries hang art so the center point is exactly 57 inches from the floor. When hanging above furniture, maintain an 8-10 inch gap from the bottom of the frame to the top of the piece.
Art should ideally match the width of the firebox opening. Leave 4-6 inches of breathing room between the mantle and the art for a clean, balanced look.
