Hang detailed botanical prints at eye level
Intricate botanical illustrations reveal their beauty when viewed up close. Hang them at seated or standing eye level - around 145 - 150 cm from the floor - so you can appreciate the delicate details. The fine petal work and foliage in The Sacred Egyptian Bean, Robert John Thornton deserves this considered placement in hallways or beside reading corners.
