How Big Will It Look?
Choosing a size is the hardest part of buying art online. Here is every size we offer, drawn to scale, with where each one tends to sit best. Still unsure? Read how to choose art for your space, and once you have the size, see how to hang art.
| Size | Centimetres | Inches | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small (A4) | 20 × 30 cm | 8 × 12 in | Desks, shelves, narrow walls, and gallery-wall clusters. Open-edition photography only. |
| Medium | 30 × 40 cm | 12 × 16 in | Bedsides, hallways, and paired sets. The natural starting size. |
| Square | 50 × 50 cm | 20 × 20 in | Balanced corners and the space between two windows. Select works only. |
| Large | 45 × 60 cm | 18 × 24 in | A single focal piece above a sofa, bed, or console. |
| X-Large | 60 × 90 cm | 24 × 35 in | Statement walls, high ceilings, and above larger furniture. |
The white border is included
Every measurement is the full sheet. A printed white border frames the image, so the artwork itself sits a little smaller inside.
Framing adds a little
A frame and mount add roughly 4–8 cm on each side. Factor it in for tight spaces. Four frame colours are offered, plus unframed.
Hang at eye height
Centre the work about 57–60 inches from the floor. Above furniture, leave 10–20 cm between the top of the piece and the frame.
When in doubt, size up
The most common regret is choosing too small. One larger piece almost always reads better than a cluster of small ones.
