Finding Your Perfect Fit:
Choosing the right size artwork can be tricky! This handy guide will help you visualize how different sizes might look in your space, ensuring your chosen masterpiece becomes a focal point you love.
We offer a variety of dimensions to suit your space, but don't worry if you don't find the perfect fit! We can also create custom prints as small as 12 inches and as large as 72 inches to match your vision.
So whether you have a cozy nook or a grand space to fill, there's a perfect piece of art waiting to bring your walls to life.
-
Focal Point: Aim for the artwork to be 60-75% of the empty wall space for a balanced look.
Balance with Furniture: The artwork should be roughly two-thirds to three-fourths the width of the furniture it hangs above, like a sofa or fireplace mantel.
-
Small Room: Opt for smaller pieces (around 24" x 36") to avoid overwhelming the space.
Large Room: You can go bolder with larger pieces (over 48" x 72") to create a statement and fill empty space. You may also consider multiple pieces placed on next to the other.
-
Close Viewing: For detailed pieces meant to be viewed up close (think portraits or intricate artwork), choose a smaller to medium size (18" x 24" to 36" x 48").
Distant Viewing: For artwork that will be seen from afar (think hallways or large living areas), opt for larger pieces (over 48" x 72") to ensure visibility.
-
Statement Piece: Do you want the artwork to be the main attraction? Choose a larger size.
Subtle Addition: Prefer the art to complement the space? Opt for a smaller size.
Above Furniture: Consider the height and scale of the furniture the artwork will hang above.
Multiple Pieces: For a gallery wall, choose a variety of sizes that complement each other visually.
Remember: It's always better to go a little bigger than you think you might need, especially for large walls or high ceilings.
