Art hung too high forces people to crane their necks. It often ends up looking like it’s floating away from the furniture instead of relating to it.
When most artwork is centred roughly at average eye level (for someone standing, or slightly lower above sofas), you connect with it more naturally. It becomes part of the room, not something stuck near the ceiling.
This simple height adjustment can suddenly make your existing pieces feel “right,” even if you don’t change anything else.
