Shoutout to the guy at the Sacramento estate sale who said to hang art lower than I think
I was poking around a sale last Saturday and the seller, an older guy, said he always hangs pictures so the middle sits at 57 inches off the floor. He said most people hang too high because they judge from standing, not sitting. I went home and rehung two frames in my hallway by the sofa, and the wall finally feels full instead of empty up top. What height do you all use, or do you just eyeball it and hope?

Guessing my way through picture hanging has been my whole system for years and the walls show it. My hallway looks like a museum where the artist was drunk, if I'm being honest (level? never met her). That 57 inch rule makes sense though, because I always hang stuff where it looks good while I'm standing back, then I sit on the couch and the art is floating up near the ceiling like it's trying to escape. Going to grab a tape measure this weekend and fix the worst offenders. My only worry is finding out how many holes I have to patch once I move everything down.
