How high should I hang my artwork?
The centre of your image, frame, or art piece should be at your eye level. This is commonly called “The 57 Rule” meaning that the midpoint or centre of your frame should be roughly 57 to 60 inches from the floor. Hanging artwork above a couch or table? The recommended measurements are 6 to 8 inches above the furniture piece.
What is Arcylic Face Mounting
Acrylic face mounting is a process that involves applying an optically clear adhesive to the face of the print then adhering the print to acrylic, otherwise known as plexiglass. Once the print is adhered to the acrylic, a backing material like diabond is adhered to the back of the print to protect the print and provide rigidity to the art. The backer also provides the surface to adhere the hanging and floating hardware which provides that modern, floating off the wall look.
