I know that in the past, I’ve written about the need to rebel against interior design rules. However, there are a few key “rules” that we designers actually adhere to. It’s not because we follow the rules. We clearly don’t. It’s because these rules actually lead to practical, functional and efficient design.

The width of a grouping of art placed over a piece of furniture, like a sofa or console table, should be 2/3 the width of the furniture below it. So, if you have a 60″ console table, the width of your art gallery above it should be about 40″.
