Art and boards for a home office
For a work wall, Framebridge measures 7 inches from the top of the monitor, not the desk, to the bottom of the frame, and Passion4Art centres art in offices at 48 to 52 inches from the floor. Where the piece is a board, the same placement works for a cork, pin or writing board you reach while seated.

Heights
| Rule | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Gap above a monitor | 7 in from the top of the monitor to the bottom of the frame | FB |
| Centre height in offices | 48 to 52 in from the floor | P4A |
| Hallways and standing spaces | 57 to 60 in | P4A |
Boards: where the bottom edge lands
Bottom edge = 50 inches (middle of the 48 to 52 range) minus half the board height. Compare with the top of your monitor plus 7 inches; if the bottom edge lands below it, hang the board higher or beside the monitor. Prices are for cork boards (5 percent GST) and magnetic writing boards (18 percent GST), listed sizes. Prices are the ArtzFolio Custom rate card as of 2026-11-10 (custom.artzfolio.com/data/prices.csv and gst-rates.csv), shown with GST and before GST; page checked 2026-11-12.

Cork and pin boards work beside a desk and writing boards near where people stand and talk, as the care guide notes. Dry-erase markers only on writing boards.
