Size Guide
Find Your Perfect Fit: The Ultimate Sizing Guide
Choosing the right size artwork is crucial to achieving a balanced and beautiful space. A piece that's too small can get lost, while one that's too large can overwhelm. This guide will give you the confidence and tools to select the ideal canvas size for any wall in your home.
The Golden Rules of Sizing
For a Single Wall: Your art should occupy 60-75% of the wall's width. Leave breathing room on all sides.
Above Furniture: When hanging above a sofa, console table, or headboard, the artwork should be **⅔ to ¾ the width** of the furniture piece below it.
Vertical vs. Horizontal: Match the orientation to your space. Vertical paintings add height to narrow spaces, while Horizontal pieces anchor wide walls. Square formats offer a modern, balanced look.
Step-by-Step: How to Measure Your Wall
1. Tape Measure is Key: Measure the exact width and height of your available wall space.
2. The Painter's Tape Trick: This is our #1 pro tip! Use low-stick painter's tape to mark out the exact dimensions of the painting you're considering on your wall. Live with it for a day. Does it feel right?
3. Consider Proportion: Remember the golden rules above. A large wall can handle a statement piece from our Large Vertical Canvas collection, while a small nook might be perfect for a more intimate piece.
