Picture Spacing Calculator: Perfectly Arrange Your Wall Art

🖼️ Decorating a wall with pictures, paintings, or posters is super fun — but getting the spacing right?

That can be surprisingly tricky! 📏

Too cramped and it feels crowded. Too far apart and it looks disconnected.
Our simple Picture Spacing Calculator is designed to help you arrange your art like a pro, every time!

🙋 What is a Picture Spacing Calculator?

A Picture Spacing Calculator helps you figure out:

• How much space to leave between each frame
• How to center a group of pictures on a wall
• How wide your whole gallery will look when hung up

It does all the math for you, so you get even, beautiful spacing without the guesswork! 🎯

📏 What You Need to Use the Calculator

Before you start, just grab:

• Wall width (in inches, centimeters, or meters)
• Number of pictures you want to hang
• Width of each picture (frames included)
• Desired space between pictures (optional, if you already have an idea)

The calculator will then tell you:

• ✅ Total width needed for all pictures + spaces
• ✅ Perfect spacing if you want it auto-calculated
• ✅ Where to start hanging on your wall

🔥 How to Calculate Picture Spacing (Example)

Let’s say you have:

• A wall that is 120 inches wide
• 4 pictures you want to hang
• Each picture is 18 inches wide
• You don’t specify a gap — you want it automatically calculated.

Here’s how the spacing works:

1. Total width of pictures = 4 × 18 = 72 inches
2. Remaining space = 120 – 72 = 48 inches
3. Divide by 5 gaps (one on each side and between pictures): 48 ÷ 5 = 9.6 inches

✅ Result: You should leave about 9.6 inches between each picture and at the ends for a perfectly centered layout!

🏡 Example Setups

Small Wall Example (7 ft wide):

• 3 small pictures, each 12 inches wide
• 2.5 inches between pictures
• 3 inches margin on each side

Medium Wall Example (10 ft wide):

• 4 medium pictures, each 16 inches wide
• 4 inches between pictures
• 5 inches margin at each end

Large Wall Example (14 ft wide):

• 5 large frames, each 24 inches wide
• 5 inches between pictures
• 7 inches margins on both sides

💡 Quick Tips

✅ If you want a modern, clean look — use about 2 to 3 inches between each frame.
✅ For larger walls or bigger pictures, 4 to 6 inches of space looks great!
