Why should art be hung at human eye level in home decorating?

Hanging art at human eye level—typically between fifty-five and sixty inches from the floor—ensures comfortable viewing and balanced room aesthetics. When art aligns with where people naturally look, it anchors the space and creates harmony among furniture and lighting. Proper height enhances emotional connection and accessibility, making your gallery or focal pieces engaging. This simple but crucial guideline allows art to complement, rather than overwhelm, your living area, improving the overall design experience.
