How to hang wall art above a desk and computer monitor?

Hang your artwork so the bottom edge of the frame sits exactly 15 cm above the top edge of your monitor. This clearance avoids visual crowding while working and keeps the screen from obscuring the art, anchoring the workspace naturally. If your monitor is on an adjustable arm, measure from its standard everyday working height.

The total width of the artwork or gallery set should span 60% to 75% of your desk width. Above a standard 120 cm desk, a horizontal 70×50 cm frame or a triptych of three 30×40 cm prints spaced 5 cm apart creates balanced weight. A print narrower than half the desk will look dwarfed by the screen.

Consider reflections cast by desk lamps and screen backlights. Cotton posters framed in natural ayous wood with anti-reflective acrylic, or stretched cotton canvas without glass, naturally reduce distracting glare. Adding a passe-partout provides an extra 5 cm breathing room around the print, keeping the visual field quiet.

A thoughtfully balanced workspace fosters focus. Explore the gall.art home office collection for motifs sized and curated to bring quiet structure to your desk setup.
