Lintel guides and calculators

Plan a gallery wall at true size, then hang it one nail at a time.

• Gallery wall calculator: nail height and spacing
  Free calculator: enter frame size, hanger drop and where it hangs (open wall or above a sofa) to get the exact nail height, plus even gaps for a row of frames.
• Gallery wall layout ideas
  Grid, salon, row, staircase, centred anchor and more: seven gallery wall layouts, what each suits, how many frames you need and the spacing that keeps them tidy.
• Gallery wall spacing: how far apart to hang frames
  How much space to leave between frames (2–3 in / 5–8 cm), how wide the group should be over a sofa, and a simple method to keep every gap identical.
• How high to hang a gallery wall
  The 57–60 inch (145–152 cm) rule, how far above a sofa or bed to start, and how to turn a layout into exact nail heights for each frame.
