News | Inside Bibianna: African Art, Culture & Collector Insights

Selecting the perfect size and placement is crucial to creating visual impact and ensuring your artwork complements your space.

Sizing Guidelines:

• Artwork should occupy 50-75% of wall space above furniture
• For gallery walls, maintain 2-3 inches between frames
• Consider room proportions and ceiling height
• Larger pieces work well in open, spacious areas
• Multiple smaller pieces create dynamic visual interest

Placement Tips:

• Eye level (57-60 inches from floor to center) is ideal for most spaces
• Ensure adequate lighting to showcase the artwork
• Consider the room's color palette and existing décor
• Account for viewing distance and angles
• Test placement with paper templates before hanging

Professional Guidance: Our curators offer complimentary consultations to help you select the perfect piece and placement for your space. We consider your room dimensions, lighting, aesthetic preferences, and investment goals. Email or call our gallery team to schedule a consultation.
