SIZING ART FOR YOUR HOME

To help determine if the artwork size is suitable for your home, you may use the following guidelines.

​

1) The width of the artwork including the frame and mat (border around your artwork) should be between 2/3 to 3/4 the width of your furniture.

​

1.1) If considering more than one artwork for your space, allow for 2 - 4" of space between each artwork. Also include those spaces in your total artwork width.

2) To find the right size artwork for you, measure the width of your furniture

​

3) Multiply it by 0.66 (2/3) and then 0.75 (3/4) to get the size range for your art. 

​

For example if your sofa is 143cm wide, then your suitable artwork size would be between approximately 94 and 107cm wide.

       143x0.66 = 94.38 

       143x0.75 = 107.25

​

4) The centre of the artwork should be approximately 58" high from the ground. This is the standard height for paintings hung in an art gallery and the average height for a woman at eye level. 

​

5) The bottom of the piece should be 6-12" above the closest piece of furniture.
