Get some rails and hang them where you want (no need to drill new holes when you decide to put something else up on the wall).

Height to hang pieces?, by Deleted on May 2, 2014 11:27:42 GMT 1, The rule of thumb I use is that I keep artwork at eye level. This does not mean all works are displayed at same height, I generally take the focal point and work the height from there. This is also the general rule that many galleries use I believe.

Height to hang pieces?, by Jeezuz Jones Snr on May 3, 2014 5:23:44 GMT 1, Gallery standard is around 1.58m from the centre of the image to the ground I think? That's what mine are roughly at.
Went with what looked the best, drilled and put the first print up, looks good. Measured it and its just short of 1.59 so will do the rest the same...

Also not a fan of the wallpaper look, stacking things on top of one another, unless it is two smaller pieces (A4 size or less). Personally, I'd prefer to rotate the collection than try to get everything up on the wall. Better for the longevity of the pieces, and I'm sure the majority would say more aesthetically pleasing. But, in the end, obviously do what makes you happy.

Having said that, if you have low ceilings it'll look terrible at 60", it's better in these cases to have someone hold the piece against the wall for you and hang it where you think it looks best.
