Ever wonder how galleries hang paintings so perfectly level and evenly spaced? In this behind-the-scenes video, Matt from Blue Rain Gallery walks you through the professional technique for finding the center of a wall and hanging artwork at the ideal height using the 64-inch center rule.
Learn step-by-step how to:
- Measure the total height of your painting and find its center point
- Calculate the distance from the top of the frame to the wire apex
- Add the standard 64 inches to find the perfect nail height from the floor
- Use gallery-style hooks and nails for secure installation
By following these simple steps, you can achieve clean, balanced, and professional-looking results in your own home or gallery.
