Find the perfect wall art dimensions for your space. Get personalized size recommendations based on your wall measurements and expert design guidelines.
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.
