If using a collection of art pieces they should be placed approximately two to three inches apart, but never farther apart than six inches. By combining larger and smaller elements together creates a sense of interest and energy. This also functions when combining both vertical and horizontal pieces into one grouping.


Always hang the focal point of the piece or grouping at around eye level so that everyone can enjoy it.
