Tips

Worth doing before you hang it

Hang the display behind or beside the desk so it sits in shot on video calls and in your eyeline as you work.

  • Mark the centre of your eyeline. Sit at your desk, then build the arrangement around it.
  • Test it on a video call. The wall behind you is on show all day.
  • Leave 20 to 30cm above the monitor. The lowest frames then clear your screen.
  • A tidy grid or aligned pair. Order behind a desk reads as calm rather than busy.
  • No glossy glass facing a window. It throws glare onto your camera and screen.

What should I put on the wall behind my desk?

Choose pieces that motivate without distracting: calm prints, a tidy grid or an aligned pair in a restrained palette. Hang them behind or beside the desk so they sit in your eyeline as you work and frame you neatly on video calls.

How high should a gallery wall be behind a desk?

Leave enough clear space above the desk or monitor, usually 20 to 30cm, then centre the display at seated eye level. This keeps it comfortable to glance at while working and ensures it sits well in shot when you are on camera.

How do I make a gallery wall look good on video calls?

Keep it ordered and balanced rather than busy, since cameras flatten the scene and clutter shows. An aligned grid or symmetrical pair reads cleanly on screen.

What art is best for a home office?

Calm, uplifting pieces work best: abstracts, landscapes, line art or a few personal prints in a cohesive palette. Avoid anything too loud directly behind the desk, which can distract on calls, and keep the overall feel focused and quietly motivating.
