Gallery Wall & Multi-Panel Canvas Art Layout Guide UK: Spacing Rules, Eye-Level Hanging Heights & Room Proportions (2026 Guide)
Creating a balanced gallery wall or multi-panel stretched canvas arrangement in a UK home—whether in a high-ceilinged Victorian terrace or a modern new-build apartment—relies on three architectural rules: the 57-inch (145 cm) museum centreline, the 5–8 cm inter-frame spacing rule, and the 67% furniture width ratio.
