✦ How do I choose the right artwork for my space?
Choose a canvas that balances your wall dimensions with the art’s orientation. Use these guidelines:
1. Measure & Scale Your Space
•Small Rooms: A large vertical or square statement piece can make a small room feel grand without cluttering.
•Large Rooms: Use a large horizontal canvas or a gallery set (diptych/triptych) to fill the space and add layered depth.
2. Select the Right Orientation
•Vertical: Best for narrow walls, hallways, or beside beds. Draws the eye upward for higher ceilings and an elegant feel.
•Horizontal: Ideal for wide walls like above sofas, beds, or dining tables. Expands the room visually and creates a cinematic effect.
•Square: Great for symmetry—above fireplaces or bookshelves, or grouped in grids for a modern, creative look.
3. Pro Placement Tips
•Eye-Level Rule: Hang the center of the artwork at eye level. Adjust for sitting or standing views.
•75% Rule: For art above furniture, canvas width should be roughly 60–75% of the furniture width for visual balance.
