How to Choose the Perfect Wall Art Size for Your Room
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
| Room | Recommended Size | Style Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Living Room | 80x120 cm or 100x70 cm | Large centerpieces or triptychs |
| Bedroom | 60x90 cm or 70x50 cm | Calming tones or couple portraits |
| Hallway | 40x60 cm | Vertical, minimal designs |
| Office | 60x80 cm | Motivational or abstract art |
| Dining Area | 100x70 cm | Horizontal 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.
