Gallery Wall Layout Generator & Planner

For most gallery walls, keep an even 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) between frames. Tighter spacing (1.5–2 in) reads as one cohesive piece; wider spacing (3–4 in) feels more relaxed. The key is to keep the gap consistent on every side. Set your gap in the planner above to see the exact total size it produces.

Start with the wall width you have to work with, decide how many frames you want, and pick a frame size. The planner arranges them into a balanced grid that fits your wall, then gives you the total footprint, the spacing, and the height to hang it. Map it out on the floor or with paper templates before putting holes in the wall.

Center the whole grouping at about 57 inches (145 cm) from the floor — average eye level — so the arrangement reads as a single unit. Above a sofa or console, leave roughly 6–10 inches between the top of the furniture and the bottom row of frames.

A common guideline is for the arrangement to span about 60–75% of the furniture width below it (for example, a sofa). On an open wall, leave a comfortable margin on each side rather than running frames to the edges. The planner shows the clearance you'll have on each side for your inputs.

Yes. The quick calculator starts with an equal-size grid, while Plan & Hang mode supports a mixed inventory of up to 24 artworks and placeholders. You can enter each outer frame size, arrange pieces manually, or try grid, row, masonry, salon, skyline, spiral, and tidy-up layouts.

It depends on your wall width and frame size. Even numbers (4, 6, 8) arrange neatly into grids, while odd numbers can work in rows or salon-style clusters. Try different counts in the planner — it automatically picks a balanced grid that fits the wall you entered.

Yes — the "Wall preview" tab generates your grid on a real room photo (or your own uploaded wall photo), with a choice of black, white, or wood frame borders. Switch to the "Diagram" tab for the precise measured layout instead.

Use the wall preview above for a quick visual, or click "Continue in Plan & Hang" to carry the calculated grid into the editor. There you can replace placeholders with your artwork, calibrate your own wall photo, keep furniture and switches clear, and check the realistic room view before making holes.

Yes. In Plan & Hang mode, add the hanging hardware and measured top offset for each frame, choose the installation order, and export a numbered PDF or CSV. Unmeasured frames are labeled with frame-edge coordinates instead of guessed nail positions.

Yes. Plan & Hang mode can define a staircase rise and run, align artwork to a sloped clearance guide, and mark keep-clear rectangles for furniture, outlets, switches, or other obstacles. Collision warnings appear before you apply an auto-layout.
