How Far Apart To Hang Pictures Side By Side

When it comes to decorating your home with pictures, the placement is everything. Hanging multiple pictures side by side can create a beautiful gallery wall and add character to any room. However, one important factor to consider when creating a gallery wall is how far apart the pictures should be hung.

The general rule of thumb for hanging pictures side by side is to leave around 2-3 inches of space between each frame. This spacing ensures that each picture has enough visual separation to stand out on its own while also creating a cohesive look when viewed as a group. It's also important to consider the size and shape of your frames when determining the spacing between them, as larger frames may require more space in between.

Ultimately, there isn't necessarily a strict formula for hanging pictures side by side – it largely depends on personal preference and the style of your decor. However, keeping in mind these general guidelines can help you create a visually appealing and balanced gallery wall that enhances your home's aesthetic appeal.
