Size Guide

What size wall art do you need?

A piece that's the wrong size is the most common regret in wall art — almost always because it was sized too small. Here's how to get it right the first time.

60–75%

As a rule of thumb, a single piece of art hanging alone should span 60–75% of the wall or furniture it sits above. Go bigger before you go smaller — almost nobody who sizes up regrets it.

e.g. a 200cm-wide wall calls for a piece roughly 120–150cm wide

By The Room

A starting point for common spots

These widths follow the 60–75% rule against typical Australian furniture and wall sizes. They're a starting point, not a strict rule — measure your own space where you can.

Recommended width
Above Typical size Recommended width
A sofa 2m sofa 120–150cm
A queen bed 153cm headboard 100–120cm
A king bed 183cm headboard 120–150cm
A feature wall 3m wide wall 180–225cm (as a set)
An entryway or hallway narrow wall 40–60cm

Above a sofa or bed, leave 15–25cm of breathing room between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the frame.

Matched To Your Piece

From eyes to size to wall

Every extra eye you add stretches the piece wider — so the number of eyes you choose already points you toward a size range. Here's how that maps to a real spot on your wall.

Example sizes, by eye count
Eyes Example size Good for
1 eye · Square 40 x 40cm A shelf, desk, or side table
1 eye · Square 100 x 100cm A statement piece above a sofa
2 eyes · Infinity 90 x 60cm Above a queen bed
2 eyes · Infinity 120 x 80cm Above a 2m sofa
3 eyes · Infinity 100 x 50cm Above a queen or king bed
3 eyes · Infinity 160 x 80cm A large sofa or feature wall
3 eyes · Infinity 200 x 100cm A statement feature wall

These are examples, not the full range — every finish offers a ladder of sizes at each eye count, and you'll see all of them in the configurator once you upload your photo.

Hanging It Right

Getting the height and spacing right

Centre it at eye level

The centre of the piece should sit roughly 145–150cm from the floor — standard eye-level height, regardless of the room.

Leave breathing room above furniture

Above a sofa, bed, or console, leave 15–25cm of clear wall between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the frame.

Still unsure? Go one size up

If you're torn between two sizes, choose the larger one — a piece that's slightly too big reads as intentional; one that's too small reads as an afterthought.
