Calculate the perfect wall art dimensions for any room. Enter your wall measurements in inches, cm, or feet to get instant size recommendations based on professional interior design guidelines. Find ideal picture sizes for your space in seconds.
Our wall art size calculator uses professional interior design principles to determine the perfect picture dimensions for your space. The calculation is based on the golden ratio and standard design guidelines used by professional decorators.
Art Width = Wall Width × 0.67 (2/3 ratio)Art Height = Wall Height × 0.5 to 0.67Available Height = Wall Height - Furniture Height - 6 to 8 inchesMeasure the width and height of the wall space where you want to hang art. Use a tape measure and record in inches, cm, or feet. For walls with furniture below, measure from above the furniture.
Enter your wall dimensions into our calculator. Select your preferred unit (inches, cm, or feet). The calculator will automatically convert between units for accurate recommendations.
Get 4 size options: Standard (2/3 width), Bold (3/4 width), Conservative (1/2 width), and Balanced (3/5 width). Each recommendation includes art width and height dimensions.
Select from recommended dimensions or find closest standard frame sizes. Consider your room style, furniture placement, and personal preferences when making final selection.
Art should cover 2/3 to 3/4 of wall width for optimal visual balance.
Leave 6-8 inches between furniture top and art bottom for proper proportion.
Center art at 57-60 inches from floor for comfortable viewing height.
Match art scale to room size - larger rooms can handle bigger artwork.
Treat multiple pieces as one unit when calculating total dimensions needed.
Common sizes like 24x36" or 30x40" are readily available and budget-friendly.
The general rule is that art should take up 2/3 to 3/4 of the wall width it's hanging on. For height, art should be about 1/2 to 2/3 of the wall height. Use our calculator to get specific recommendations based on your wall measurements.
For art above a sofa, it should be 2/3 the width of the sofa or slightly wider. A good height is about 2/3 the height from the sofa top to ceiling. For a standard sofa, 40-60 inches wide art works well.
Dining room art should be substantial. For a typical dining area, look for pieces 36-48 inches wide. The art should be large enough to serve as a focal point but not overwhelm the room.
Bedroom art depends on the wall, but common sizes are 24x36 inches or 30x40 inches. For above the bed, the art should be 2/3 the width of the bed frame. Smaller pieces work well for nightstands or dressers.
Measure the wall width where you want to hang the art. Measure from floor to ceiling for height. Consider any furniture below (like a sofa) - the art should be centered above it. Leave 6-8 inches of space between the furniture top and bottom of art.
For multiple pieces, treat them as one unit. The total width should still be 2/3 to 3/4 of the wall width. Space pieces 2-4 inches apart. Use our calculator for the total dimensions, then divide among your pieces.
Yes, common standard sizes include: 16x20, 20x24, 24x30, 24x36, 30x40, and 36x48 inches. These are widely available and fit most home spaces. Our calculator will recommend sizes closest to your wall dimensions.
In larger rooms, you can go bigger with your art. In smaller rooms, stick to more conservative sizing. The scale should feel proportional to the room. Very large art in a small room can feel overwhelming.
To calculate wall art size above a sofa, measure the sofa width and multiply by 0.67 (2/3). The art should be 2/3 to 3/4 the width of your sofa. For height, leave 6-8 inches between the sofa top and art bottom. A standard 84-inch sofa works best with 48-60 inch wide art.
Our wall art size calculator provides 4 recommendations: Standard (2/3 wall width), Bold (3/4 wall width), Conservative (1/2 wall width), and Balanced (3/5 wall width). Each ratio is based on professional interior design principles. Choose based on your personal style and room aesthetics.
To convert art size from inches to cm, multiply by 2.54. For example, a 24x36 inch print equals 61x91 cm. Our calculator automatically converts between inches, cm, and feet, making it easy to calculate wall art size in your preferred unit of measurement.
The standard formula is: Art Width = Wall Width × 0.67 (for 2/3 ratio). Art Height = Wall Height × 0.5 to 0.67. For above furniture, subtract furniture height from wall height, then apply the formula. Our calculator uses these professional design ratios automatically.
For gallery walls, treat all pieces as one unit. Calculate the total dimensions needed using our calculator, then arrange individual pieces within that space. Leave 2-4 inches between each piece. The entire gallery should follow the 2/3 to 3/4 wall width rule.
Living room: 30-48 inches wide. Bedroom (above bed): 2/3 bed width, typically 36-48 inches. Dining room: 36-48 inches wide. Hallway: 16-24 inches wide. Bathroom: 16-24 inches. Entryway: 20-30 inches. Use our calculator with your specific wall measurements for precise recommendations.
The 2/3 rule states that wall art should cover approximately 2/3 (67%) of the available wall width. This creates visual balance and prevents art from looking too small or overwhelming. If your wall is 90 inches wide, ideal art width is 60 inches. Our calculator applies this rule automatically for perfect proportions.
