Wall Art Sizes – A Complete Guide

There’s so much more to artwork sizes than what meets the eye. It can pretty much make or break a space and its overall vibe.

Think about a living room with a large sofa against a wall – now imagine a small, single, lonesome artwork hung above that sofa. Why does it feel so out-of-place? Because there’s no balance! A large sofa most definitely needs a big artwork to fill the space above the wall and balance its large features.

Here are some other ways that artwork sizes impact your space.

Creating a Focal Point

Large pieces serve as a room's focal point and help to anchor the entire design.
In contrast, smaller pieces can be used to fill gaps or add nuance to existing decor.

Affecting Room Proportions

Vertical art makes rooms appear taller.
Horizontal art can make a room seem more spacious.

Enhancing the Mood

Small, intricate pieces invite viewers for a closer look, creating an intimate feel.
Large, bold pieces can evoke strong emotions and make a powerful statement.
