Choosing the right size wall art comes down to proportion. A simple rule to follow when hanging art above furniture is to aim for the piece to be about two-thirds the width of what sits below it.
Below is a quick breakdown for our small, medium, large, and gallery size frames with real examples to help with your decision making.
Shop the look: The Espy, Manly in our Small Oak frame.
Small Frame (Dimensions: 12.5” x 18.5”)
Best for tighter spaces or layering with other pieces.
- Entryways
- Shelves
- Narrow walls
- Paired or grouped layouts
- As gifts!
Small pieces work when they’re anchored - either grouped together or placed near furniture like a console or books. They can be perched on open shelving and make great gifts.
Use these as accents, not the main focus.
Shop the look: (Left to right) The Pass Playground in our Medium Oak frame, Swimming at Mecox Beach in our Medium Oak frame.
Medium Frame (Dimensions 19.5” x 25.5”)
The most flexible option.
- On smaller walls
- As part of a pair
- Above a bar cart or desk
Medium sizes hold their own without taking over the room. They’re easy to place and work well when you want balance without making a big statement.
They fit comfortably in most spaces and are never overpowering.
Shop the look: On the Wreck, Byron Bay in our Large White frame.
Large Frame (Dimensions 25.5" x 37.5")
For when you want presence, but not full scale.
- Above a two-seat sofa
- Above a queen-size bed
- Offices
- Hallway/entryway
Large pieces create a clear focal point while still leaving some breathing room around them. They’re ideal when you want the art to lead the space without dominating it.
A strong, considered choice for most main rooms.
Shop the look: Byron Sunbather in our Gallery White Frame.
Gallery Frame (Dimensions 33" x 45.5")
For maximum impact.
- Large, open walls
- Statement areas
- Minimal interiors
- Double-height spaces
Gallery size is meant to anchor a room. One piece can define the entire space and simplify everything around it.
If you want impact, this is it.
