How to Size
Your Print.
There are no wrong answers, only prints that feel at home and ones that don't. This guide helps you find the size that's right for your space, your wall, and the way you want it to feel.
A common interior design guideline: aim for a print that spans roughly two-thirds of the width of the furniture it hangs above. It's a starting point, not a law. People more often regret going too small than too large, so when in doubt, consider sizing up.
Every print's page shows the exact framed width and height for each size, right beside the size options.
Where our prints live.
These are ideas, not rules. A Grand in a hallway. A Small above a nightstand. Art finds its place wherever it's given one. Use these as a starting point and trust your instincts.
A single print hung at eye level turns a corridor into something worth pausing in. Small works beautifully in tight spaces. Grand works too, especially in an entryway where first impressions matter.
A natural home for a print. Large suits a loveseat or a smaller sofa. Above a full-size sofa, Grand comes closest to the two-thirds guideline, with Extra Large as a lighter option.
Above a bed is one of the best walls in a home. Medium works above a nightstand or console. Grand above the headboard, the wall you wake up to every morning, is one of the most rewarding places to put art.
A horizontal print centered on your dining table helps the room feel cohesive and considered. Coastal and scenic prints bring a calm, elevated atmosphere to meals.
Art in a workspace should ground you without distracting you. A well-chosen print behind a desk also elevates every video call, quietly saying something about taste without saying a word.
The best placement is the one that feels right when you live with it. Art has a way of finding its wall. If you're unsure, reach out. We're happy to help you think it through.
Mark the framed size shown on your print's page on the wall with painter's tape. Step back and live with it for a day. It's a simple way to feel confident before you order, and it often shows you can go a size larger than you expected.
As a guide, center the print about 57 inches from the floor, a height many galleries use. Above a sofa, bed or console, leave roughly 6 to 10 inches between the furniture and the bottom of the frame so the two read as one.
Going too small is a common regret. The larger size often looks more intentional. For a wide wall, two vertical prints hung side by side can read as one large piece.
There's no such thing as a small question when you're choosing something for your home.
