Size Guide

Art fails most often by being too small. When in doubt, go one size up — a generous piece on its own beats a timid one surrounded by empty wall.

The sizes

Size	Approx. inches	Where it works
30 × 40 cm	12 × 16 in	Shelves, desks, small walls, gallery wall building blocks
40 × 50 cm	16 × 20 in	Hallways, landings, pairs and trios
50 × 70 cm	20 × 28 in	Above consoles, dressers and bedside walls
60 × 90 cm	24 × 35 in	Above sofas and beds — a confident centrepiece
70 × 100 cm	28 × 39 in	The statement. One wall, one work, nothing else needed

Two rules worth keeping

Hang art so its centre sits at eye level — around 145cm from the floor. And above furniture, choose a piece roughly two-thirds the width of what sits beneath it.
