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.

Where to put the nails — measured from the left edge of the wall and up from the floor
Print 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.

Before you buy the prints

Check the sizes will actually fit a frame you can buy here — the conversion table is on this page.
