How to Choose the Right Size Wall Art

Modern Printworks editorial team

Choose the right wall art size by measuring furniture and walls, setting a clear proportion and planning the height before you hang it with confidence.

Measure before choosing

Choose wall art size by measuring the furniture and clear wall first, then selecting a proportion that feels connected rather than isolated. Start with the available width, leave some breathing room at the edges and test the outline before making a final decision.

Choose a proportion

Use the furniture as the visual anchor. A 30 × 40 cm framed print suits a smaller wall or a narrow gap; 50 × 70 cm has more presence above a console or beside seating. These dimensions are currently offered in the framed-print range.

  • Keep the artwork narrower than the furniture beneath it.
  • On an empty wall, leave a visible margin around the work.
  • Turn the piece to suit the wall: landscape can steady a wide wall, while portrait can use height.

Set the hanging height

Place the centre of the artwork at a comfortable viewing height, then adjust for the furniture beneath it. Above a sofa, console or bed, keep the gap close enough that the art reads as part of the arrangement rather than as a separate object.

Choose one piece or a grouping

One substantial piece creates a calm focal point. A grouping can suit a longer wall when the spacing is consistent and the overall outline is treated as one shape. Compare available Framed Prints and browse the Gallery before deciding.
