You may be surprised at how right this looks — even though it feels wrong.

It seems easy enough. Grab a hook and a hammer and get to work. But there’s definitely a bit of a science to hanging artwork properly. With these three key measurements as a starting point, you can’t really go wrong. This first figure tells you that the center of your piece should be around 57 inches (or a bit more) from the floor.
