Size Selection Checklist
Use this step-by-step checklist to match a size to your wall space.
- Measure your wall area. Note the width and height of the empty wall space where you plan to hang the art.
- Measure any furniture below. If the art will hang above a sofa, bed, console, or table, measure the width of that piece of furniture.
- Check the available height. Determine how much vertical space you have from the top of the furniture (or floor) to the ceiling or desired hanging height.
- Compare with the table. Look at the width and height of each available size. The art’s width should be narrower than the furniture width if hanging above it, and its height should fit within your available vertical space.
- Consider the room’s scale. A larger room can handle a larger size without feeling cluttered, while a smaller room may benefit from a more modest dimension.
- Visual balance.
Once you have identified a size that fits your measurements, select it from the available options. If you are still unsure, you can mark out the dimensions on your wall with painter’s tape to see how the piece will look before ordering.
