She added: “Real talk though, I am triggered by too high or too low pictures in people’s homes.
“This a great rule of thumb to get your started when hanging pictures.
“Give or take a couple of inches 5ft is a general eye level height for most.”
The only thing to consider is your ceiling height and the height of your frames, not to mention the height of the people who live with you.
Some viewers pointed out that the pictures could do with being slightly higher, but agreed that it was a good rule of thumb.
One wrote: “Most people hang pictures too high. The rule I’ve always used to 57 inches from the floor to the middle of the picture and they always look great.”
Another said: “Nothing worse than when a picture is almost on the ceiling.”
