Frequently Asked Questions
What size wall art should I choose for a sofa?
For a sofa, choose art that is 2/3 to 3/4 the width of the sofa. For a standard 84-inch sofa, this means 56-63 inches wide. A 60x40 or 60x36 inch canvas works perfectly. Hang it 6-12 inches above the sofa back.
How high should I hang wall art?
The general rule is to hang art so its center is 57-60 inches from the floor. When hanging above furniture, leave 6-12 inches between the furniture top and the art bottom. This creates a visual connection while maintaining proper spacing.
Should I choose horizontal or vertical art?
Choose horizontal art for wide furniture like sofas, beds, and dressers. Vertical art works best for narrow walls, entryways, and beside windows. Square art is versatile and works in most spaces. When in doubt, match the art orientation to the furniture below it.
What size art for a king-size bed?
A king-size bed is 76 inches wide. Choose art that is 50-57 inches wide. A 54x36 or 48x36 inch canvas is ideal. You can also use two 24x36 inch canvases side by side for a gallery look. Hang art 6-8 inches above the headboard.
Can art be too big for a wall?
Art can be too big if it extends beyond the furniture below it or leaves less than 6-8 inches of wall space on either side. As a general rule, art should not exceed 75% of the furniture width. However, oversized art can make a bold statement in large rooms with high ceilings.
How do I measure for a gallery wall?
For a gallery wall, treat the entire arrangement as one piece. The total width should be 2/3 to 3/4 of the furniture width. Leave 2-3 inches between frames. Start with the largest piece in the center at eye level, then work outward with smaller pieces.
