Gallery Wall Layout Planner
Plan a grid-style gallery wall, preview it, and get exact measurements for every nail before you hang a thing.
How the gallery wall planner works
The planner lays out a neat grid: it multiplies frame sizes by rows and columns, adds your spacing, and centers the whole arrangement on the wall at your chosen height. Galleries are commonly centered around 57–60 inches from the floor, roughly average eye level.
Because most frames hang from a wire or D-ring below the top edge, enter the hanger drop and the planner gives the exact height for each nail, measured from the floor and from the left edge of the wall. Prefer someone else to do the measuring? See our picture hanging service.

FAQ
How far apart should frames be in a gallery wall?
Usually 2–3 inches between frames. Go tighter for small frames and a little wider for large pieces.
How high should a gallery wall be hung?
Center the arrangement around 57–60 inches from the floor. Above a sofa, leave about 6–10 inches between the furniture and the lowest frame.
How do I measure where to put the nail?
Measure the hanger drop: the distance from the top of the frame to the taut wire or D-ring. The nail goes that far below where the top of the frame should be.
