How to Choose the Right Canvas Print Size for Your Home

Choosing the right canvas print size can completely transform the look and feel of your space. Whether you're decorating a living room, bedroom, hallway, or office, the size of the artwork matters just as much as the design itself.

1. Consider the Wall Space

Start by measuring the wall area where your artwork will be displayed.

General guideline:
Your canvas should cover about 60%–75% of the wall space above a sofa, bed, or console table.

Example:
A 2-metre sofa pairs well with artwork 120–150 cm wide.

2. Match the Canvas to the Furniture Size

Recommended sizes:

  • Above a sofa: 60×90 cm, 70×100 cm, 80x120cm, or 1-panel large canvases

  • Above a bed: 3-panel or 5-panel sets

  • Hallways / narrow walls: 40×60 cm, 50×100 cm vertical sizes

3. Visualize the Canvas on Your Wall

An easy trick to choose the right size:

  1. Use masking tape

  2. Mark the outline of the canvas (or multi-panel set) on the wall

  3. Step back and check the balance

This helps you instantly see if you need larger or smaller artwork.

4. Match the Artwork Size to Your Interior Style
