Choosing the Right Size

The right print size transforms a wall. Too small and it gets lost; too large and it overwhelms. Here’s a practical guide to getting it right.

The Rules Collectors Use

Rule of two-thirds

Art should fill roughly ⅔ of the width of the furniture below it (couch, bed, console table). If your sofa is 7 ft wide, choose a print or grouping that's about 4.5–5 ft wide.

Eye level center

The center of the print should hang at eye level — roughly 57–60" from the floor. This matches standard gallery hanging height.

Viewing distance

For detailed landscape prints, you want to be able to step back 1.5× the print's longest dimension. A 36" print wants at least 4–5 feet of viewing room.

Group small prints together

Three 11×14s in a row read like a single large piece. This lets you cover a longer wall without the commitment of one oversized print.

Measure twice

Cut a paper template at the exact print dimensions and tape it to your wall before ordering. It takes 30 seconds and saves surprises.
