Question
What's the right height to hang a poster?
Answer
The standard gallery rule places the center of the poster at 57 inches from the floor, which sits at comfortable eye level for most people. Adjust it based on where people will be standing.
| Setting | Where to hang |
|---|---|
| Hallways and standing areas | Center at 57 inches from the floor |
| Above a desk or couch | 6 to 8 inches above the furniture |
| Groups of posters | Align centers along the same 57-inch line |
The goal is to keep the poster in the natural line of sight so viewers are not looking up or down to take it in.
