How to Choose the Right Size Wall Art for Your Room

Choosing wall art is exciting — but if the size isn’t right, even the most stunning piece can feel “off” in your space. Whether you’re decorating a cozy bedroom, a spacious living room, or a modern office, the size of your wall art can make or break the design.

Here’s how to select the perfect size wall art so your space feels balanced, intentional, and visually striking.

1. Measure Your Wall First

Before you fall in love with one of our pieces, measure the wall where you plan to hang it.

Small Walls (2–4 ft wide): Go for smaller pieces or vertical arrangements.
Medium Walls (4–6 ft wide): A single statement piece or a symmetrical pair works beautifully.
Large Walls (6–9 ft wide): Choose oversized wall art to create a true focal point.

Pro Tip: Leave at least 6–12 inches of space between the edges of your art and nearby furniture or moldings.

2. Think About Room Function and Energy

The size of your art can change the mood of the room:

Large-scale art: Adds drama, makes a statement, and suits open spaces.
Smaller art or grouped pieces: Creates intimacy, suits reading nooks, hallways, or smaller bedrooms.
Think about choosing THE THEME that best fits your aesthetic! For example nature art for living room, floral art for the dining area, anime art for gaming rooms, or city art for bedrooms.

3. Decide on Single Statement vs. Gallery Arrangement

Single Statement Piece: Best for creating a bold, modern, and minimalistic look.
Gallery Wall: Great for mixing sizes and creating a personalized display, but keep spacing consistent (usually 2–3 inches between frames).

4. Consider Height and Viewing Level

For most spaces, the center of the artwork should be at eye level — around 57–60 inches from the floor.
If hanging above furniture, keep the bottom edge 6–8 inches above the top of the sofa, bed, or console table.

5. Choose a Size That Matches Your Style

If you love luxury interiors, go bigger than you think. Our oversized acrylic wall art, for example, instantly elevates a space and adds a gallery-like feel.

Final Thoughts

Wall art is more than décor — it’s the visual heartbeat of your room. By measuring carefully, using proportion rules, and matching the art’s size to your space and style, you’ll create a balanced, breathtaking interior.
