Wish Want Wear

Size is crucial when hanging canvas direct artwork. Framed or stretched canvas prints may be the statement piece you’ve been looking for to complete your space, but they won’t look quite right if they’re too large or too little. Rather than making the room seem disjointed, the wall art should be a focal point and help bring the design together. If your room’s furniture is too little, it will seem unfinished, but if it’s too huge, it will feel cramped. You want it to be as perfect as Goldilocks’ locks. This simple guide will help you choose wall art that is the perfect size for your location, ensuring that your masterpiece will fit well and complement the environment.

Assess the situation by taking a look around

Before you go out and buy that gorgeous poster canvas or framed artwork, you should determine how it will appear in your room and what size would be ideal. Just drawing probable measurements using painter’s tape, sticky notes, or paper will help you see it in the space. Step back and take it all in after you’ve accomplished that. When you’re out there, use your phone to snap a few pictures. I was wondering whether you thought a huge square canvas print or a wide panoramic canvas would look better in this space. Now is your time to make some adjustments, test out several new outline sizes, and settle on the one that works best for you.

Dimensional guidelines

It’s important to get the proportions of your artwork perfect, whether you’re filling up the area above your sofa, a hallway wall, or a bedroom wall. I understand that there are exceptions to every rule, but I think you’ll find that these guidelines for proper size will help you immensely.

Let’s begin with simply two guidelines that will aid in your wall art sizing decisions and improve your interior design abilities. There is some elementary mathematics required, but I promise it will pay off.

1.       The amount of wall space used by artwork should be between sixty percent and seventy-five percent of the total wall space that is not occupied by furniture or moldings. To get the perfect height and breadth for your wall, just multiply their respective measurements by 0.60 and 0.75. By doing so, you may determine the size range of canvas prints that will work in the room. Here’s an illustration: Multiply the height and width of your blank wall, say 9 feet and 5 feet, by 0.6 and 0.75, respectively. The optimal height for a canvas is between 5 and 6 feet, while the breadth is between 3 and 3.75 feet.
2.       The ideal height for hanging wall art above a bed, fireplace, or sofa is two-thirds to three-quarters of the width of the piece hung. If you want to know what size canvas might look well over your sofa, you can figure it out here. Multiply the width of your sofa (in feet) by 0.66 and 0.75 to get the depth in inches. A painting measuring 3.6 to 4.5 feet in width would work splendidly over the sofa.

If you want to print a customized canvas, you need to think about the image’s orientation. CanvasPop offers a wide variety of standard and bespoke sizes for its products, starting at tiny and going all the way up to super big. To further guarantee the highest possible print quality, the sizes are also automatically changed depending on the dimensions of the images you provide. Printing a portrait-oriented picture would work better on a tiny wall, while a landscape-oriented poster might look great over a larger furniture piece like a couch or bed.

It’s everything or nothing

In most cases, the larger the better. A large canvas print will make a stunning centerpiece, whereas a tiny canvas would just seem lost in a large room. Your wall art, as you saw in the size criteria, should fill up a considerable amount of wall space and be rather substantial in comparison to the furnishings. If in doubt, go for the stars.

Do not fret if your pieces are on the smaller side. You may make an interesting gallery wall by hanging individual pieces, placing them side by side, or grouping many together as seen on canvas direct
