Mastering the Art of Sizing: Elevate Your Space with the Perfect Wall Art

Choosing the perfect wall art size can transform a room from ordinary to extraordinary, but it can also feel overwhelming. If you’ve ever struggled with selecting the right piece for your space, you’re not alone. Here’s a guide to help you choose art that enhances your décor, creates a statement, and brings your walls to life.

1. Embrace Larger Sizes for Impact

When it comes to wall art, bigger is often better. Large-scale pieces have the power to anchor a room and create an instant focal point. For expansive walls, aim to cover about two-thirds to three-fourths of the available space. This helps to avoid a cluttered look while ensuring the piece makes a bold, eye-catching statement.

Take our Beach House, Style B, By Michelle Jirsensky print, for example. At 120x80cm, it commands attention when placed above a king-size bed, creating a sophisticated and harmonious aesthetic. Larger prints like these can also work wonders in smaller spaces, adding balance and making the area feel more open without overwhelming it.

2. Create a Dynamic Gallery Wall

Looking to add energy and personality to your room? A gallery wall is the perfect solution. By combining multiple pieces of varying sizes and orientations, you can create a visual story that fills your space with character. Don’t feel limited by symmetry or rigid layouts—embrace asymmetry to inject movement and depth into your design.

Mixing prints and frames allows you to customise your gallery wall, offering flexibility and endless possibilities. It’s a perfect way to showcase your unique taste and create a bespoke arrangement that feels distinctly yours.

3. Strategic Placement for a Balanced Elegance

 Where you hang your art is just as important as what you choose. To create a balanced and visually pleasing space, aim to hang artwork at eye level—typically around 145-150cm from the floor to the centre of the piece. If placing art above furniture, leave a gap of about 10-15cm between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the artwork for a seamless look.

For a sleek and modern aesthetic, try displaying two of Nikita Jariwala's harmonious Swiss landscapes above a wide sofa. When placed side by side, they evoke a gallery-inspired elegance, effortlessly guiding the eye and adding a touch of sophistication to the room.

4. Complement Furniture and Fixtures

Your wall art should complement the scale of your furniture and fixtures. Large artworks are ideal for filling the space above sofas, beds, and dining tables, while smaller pieces are better suited to cosier corners or secondary rooms.

For a polished, gallery-style effect, consider our expertly curated sets. They are perfect for creating a cohesive, curated look that enhances the overall design of your room without overwhelming the space.

5. Adapt Art to Room Function and Flow

Different rooms call for different types of art. A grand, bold piece can serve as a conversation starter in a living room, while a series of smaller, curated pieces may be better suited for a hallway or stairwell. Think about how each artwork will fit into the room’s flow and purpose before making your final selection.

Tip: When you’re selecting framed artwork, remember that our dimensions include the frame. And if you're purchasing a gallery set, the sizes refer to each individual frame, not the combined measurements.
