The wall

Name

Switch between the walls at the far left above the wall. Each wall has its own measurements and layouts, so they can be compared as alternatives. The works are shared by all walls.

Wall measurements

Width, cm Height, cm Bottom edge above floor, cm

The height is from floor to ceiling. If the wall is only the area above a sofa or a panel, set the bottom edge to its height above the floor. All heights are measured from the floor.

Cornice, cm down from the ceiling Skirting board, cm Floor

The cornice and skirting board are drawn in, and the works are kept clear of them.

How to measure the hanging point

Turn the work over, pull the wire up to a single point, as the hook will, and measure from there up to the top of the frame. If the work has two D-rings, measure the distance between them and choose two hooks. Enter the figures under Edit on each work.
