How to Choose the Perfect Wall Art Size for Your Room

Finding the right piece of wall art is exciting — but choosing the right size is what truly makes your space feel balanced and beautiful.
Too small, and it disappears. Too big, and it overwhelms the room.
Here’s how to get it just right.

🛋️ 1. Measure Your Space First

Start by measuring the width of the wall where you want to hang your art.
A good rule of thumb: your wall art should be about 60–75% of the wall width.
For example, if your wall is 200 cm wide, your artwork should be between 120–150 cm.

This ensures perfect visual balance and proportion.

🖼️ 2. Match the Art to the Furniture

When hanging art above a sofa, bed, or console, it should be around two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it — and placed 15–25 cm above the top edge.

Example:

Above a sofa (210 cm) → choose a 140 cm wide artwork.

Above a queen-size bed (160 cm) → choose a 110 cm piece or a multi-panel set.

📏 3. Choose by Room Type

RoomRecommended SizeStyle Tip
Living Room80x120 cm or 100x70 cmLarge centerpieces or triptychs
Bedroom60x90 cm or 70x50 cmCalming tones or couple portraits
Hallway40x60 cmVertical, minimal designs
Office60x80 cmMotivational or abstract art
Dining Area100x70 cmHorizontal or panoramic pieces

🎯 4. Think in Sets, Not Just Singles

Sometimes, two or three smaller artworks have a stronger visual impact than one big one.
Create harmony using gallery walls — for example, three 40x60 cm pieces side by side.

This adds rhythm and visual storytelling to your décor.

🪶 5. Consider the Material

Different materials affect how a size feels:

Canvas: soft and organic, ideal for larger prints.

Metal: sleek and reflective — looks powerful even in smaller sizes.

Wood: adds texture and warmth to medium formats.

At StyonArt, you can choose every design in multiple sizes and materials, so you can match your space perfectly.

💡 Final Thought

Perfect wall art size isn’t just about measurements — it’s about feeling.
When proportions align with your room, your art doesn’t just decorate — it belongs.
