We’re building a house with a formal dining room and 10′ ceilings. How high should we go with the judges panels and wainscotting? You mentioned 42″ and 9′ ceilings in a comment above, so am wondering if we go even higher than that, but that’s starting to be pretty tall compared to table and chairs? Above rail will be BM Dark Pewter and below will be SW Alabaster, with a gold chandelier! (All of my houses have always been beige on beige before, but I’ve been reading your blog all through the design process for this one and am finally embracing color! Thank you!!!)

Oooo, good question. I would say that APPROX 3″ is a good place to start, but i can depend on the size of the pieces 🙂

I love how you went into detail with this! If I plan on hanging two Buddha wall arts, what do you think is the ideal spacing between the two? Is there a “rule” for that as well?

With no headboard do you hang artwork with its center at 60-62″ from the floor with a bed that low or will the art appear to float? In that case do you use the top of the pillow as your “headboard” and hang your artwork 4-12″ up from that? The artwork is wider than it is long and can almost pose as a headboard for my king size bed.

I’m going to do a gallery wall in my dining room. Should the gallery wall be centered around the table or centered on the wall? Thank you

Oh, I’d LOVE to tell you, but it was a small local place that doesn’t sell them anymore. But I HAVE seen similar ones on Wayfair!

I love to hear this! And no, I don’t think 63″ is unreasonable at all!

For reals.”

Is centering at 63″ too far out of the approximate range? We thought that looked good and now I am questioning it.

Love the article and will do a deep dive after New Years! However, I would love a source for the dining chairs in the “this is our happy place” photo. Love them! BTW bathroom is finished, waited forever for light fixture, etc. am sending very soon!

I just hung a big mirror above the couch and I can tell it just isn’t right but didn’t know what to do. This article is perfect. Thank you.

Hi David, understandable, but my writing/articles are free and they are my way of making some income, otherwise I can’t write!

Your site won’t even load over LTE and I am missing half the content

Hi Mac! Well, it’s not that we see a 12′ ceiling as 8′ (and it definitely isn’t scientific), however generally, what kind of sits ‘within our easy viewing space’ kind of stops at the 8′ level, which is more or less what we’re used to seeing. And yes, this is why no matter how tall your ceiling is, you want to base it on an average 8, maybe 9′ ceiling height.

Under Guideline #1, and your first Why, “our invisible line sits at approx. 8′.” So does this mean if you have a 12′ wall our brain sees it as 8 feet? If so, that’s how you based your picture hanging measurements which makes it pleasing to the eye no matter the wall height?
