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.
