Selecting wall art can instantly transform your space, adding color, personality, and a unique touch. But one question remains—what size is right for your wall? Whether you’re filling a cozy nook or making a bold statement in your living room, here’s a guide to help you choose the perfect size for your wall art.
1. Small Spaces & Accent Art (A4 and A3)
For smaller spaces or areas that need a little flair, A4 (21×29.7cm) and A3 (29.7x42cm) are ideal. These sizes work perfectly for:
– Gallery walls: Combine multiple smaller pieces for an eclectic look.
– Desks or shelves: A4 or A3 prints add personality without overpowering the space.
– Narrow walls: If you have a vertical space between doors or windows, these smaller sizes fit just right.
2. Medium Statements (A2 and A1)
A2 (42×59.4cm) and A1 (59.4×84.1cm) offer a balanced size for medium spaces. These sizes work well when you want to make a statement without completely filling the wall.
– Living rooms or entryways: Center an A2 or A1 piece over a console or sofa for visual impact.
– Bedrooms: One of these sizes above a bed headboard creates a stylish focal point.
– Standalone pieces: In a hallway or dining area, a single A1 or A2 piece can add sophistication without overwhelming.
3. Large Statement Art (91x61cm and 100x70cm)
For maximum impact, 91x61cm and 100x70cm sizes bring attention and personality to large walls or open spaces.
– Living room centerpieces: Perfect for placing above large furniture like a sofa or fireplace.
– Dining areas: Hang a large piece over your dining table to set the mood and create a stunning backdrop.
– Entryways: Greet guests with an impressive canvas in the entryway.
4. Creating Balance with Multiple Pieces
When using different sizes, consider how they will complement one another. For example, pairing an A1 with a few smaller A4 or A3 pieces can create a dynamic, layered look. Alternatively, two A2 pieces side by side create a balanced, symmetrical effect.
Final Tips for Hanging Wall Art
– Eye level: Generally, art should be centered at eye level, around 57-60 inches from the floor.
– Spacing: Leave around 6-12 inches of space between the bottom of your artwork and furniture for a clean look.
– Experiment: Don’t be afraid to lay out pieces on the floor before hanging them to visualize the arrangement.
