What size fills your wall well?

Enter your wall dimensions, optionally the height of any furniture against it, and choose how many pieces you want. We'll suggest a combined size that fills the space without overpowering it, plus the hanging heights to write on the wall when it's time to install.

Rules of thumb

How designers size art to a wall.

These aren't strict laws, but they're the conventions that make a wall look intentional rather than accidental.

  1. ⅔ rule

    Two-thirds of the wall.

    For a single feature piece, aim for about 65 to 75% of the wall width. For art above furniture, the same fraction of the furniture's width tends to read best.

  2. Eye level

    Centre at 145–155 cm.

    Galleries hang the centre of a piece at roughly 152 cm above the floor. It works because most people's natural sight line lands close to that height.

  3. Above the sofa

    15–25 cm gap.

    Leave a small breathing space between the top of furniture and the bottom of the art. Closer reads cramped, farther reads disconnected.

  4. Multiples

    5 cm between pieces.

    When hanging two or more works as a set, treat the whole group as one composition and keep gaps around 5 cm. Tighter looks modern, wider feels more salon-style.
