How to Choose Wall Art Size? Complete Size Guide

Why sizes go wrong

Most people pick a painting by feel, ending up either too small or too large. The rule: picture width about 40%-60% of the wall, or 2/3 the width of the furniture behind it.

Size by space

Sofa wall: single 60x90cm; pair 30x40cm or 40x60cm; triptych 30x40cm.

Bedroom headboard: 1.5m bed -> 50x70cm; 1.8m bed -> 60x90cm.

Entryway/hallway: 30x40cm portrait; wider wall can use a triptych.

Dining: 40x60cm landscape, warm still-life or abstract.

Hanging height

Center of art at eye level (about 1.5-1.6m), or 15-20cm above the sofa backrest.
