Hanging a cohesive collection of multiple works requires balanced intervals. Learn how to calculate spacing between frames and preview complex configurations directly on your wall photo.
Golden Spacing Rules for Multi-Piece Arrangements
- 2–3 Inches (5–8 cm): Standard interval between frames in small-to-medium clusters. Keeping intervals consistent prevents visual chaos.
- 4–6 Inches (10–15 cm): Recommended spacing for oversized pieces (36"+) or high ceilings to let large canvases breathe without disconnecting them.
- Treat the Cluster as One Unit: Calculate the combined width and height of all pieces plus their intervals. The outer perimeter of the cluster should still observe the 65% furniture rule.
Symmetrical Grid Layout
Ideal for identical frames, photograph series, and limited edition prints. Requires precise horizontal and vertical margins (typically 2 inches throughout).

Asymmetrical Salon Style
