Gallery wall planner.
Enter your wall size and what you're hanging. You get a to-scale drawing and, more usefully, the exact spot to put every nail — measured across from the left edge of the wall and up from the floor.
| Nail across | Nail up | Frame left edge | Frame bottom |

Nail heights assume the hanging wire pulls down about 5 cm below the top of the frame. If yours uses a fixed sawtooth hook, add that 5 cm back on. Measure twice — walls are rarely as square as this drawing.
How to use the numbers
- Nail across is measured from the left edge of your wall, along the floor.
- Nail up is the height from the floor to the nail, not to the top of the frame.
- The centre height is where the middle of the whole arrangement sits. 145 cm is the gallery standard — why, and when to break it.
