Size & Framing Guide
Choosing the right size and frame is essential to creating a balanced and impactful display. This guide is designed to provide clear, simple advice to help you select the perfect piece to define your space.
Finding Your Perfect Size
The scale of your artwork can transform a room. Here are a few trusted guidelines to help you find the right proportions.
-
The Two-Thirds Guideline: When hanging art above a piece of furniture, such as a sofa, bed, or console table, aim for a piece that is roughly two-thirds the width of the furniture. This creates a sense of balance and anchors the setting.
-
Go Big for Impact: Do not be afraid to choose a single, large-scale piece. A statement artwork can define an entire room, creating a powerful focal point and often making the space feel larger and more intentional.
-
Leave Breathing Room: Ensure there is enough empty space—or "negative space"—around your artwork. This prevents a cluttered look and allows the piece to stand out and command attention.
-
Consider Your Space: Large, open walls in a living room or entryway can support a significant statement piece. For narrower spaces, like hallways or small offices, consider a smaller piece or a vertical composition to draw the eye upward.
-
A Practical Tip: To visualize how a certain size will look in your space, use painter's tape to outline the artwork's dimensions on your wall. This allows you to experience the scale and placement before making a decision.
Choosing the Right Orientation
The shape of your art contributes to the overall feel of your room.
-
Landscape (Horizontal): Ideal for placing above long pieces of furniture like sofas, sideboards, or beds. Horizontal art can make a room feel wider and more expansive.
-
Portrait (Vertical): An excellent choice for narrow walls, such as those between windows or at the end of a hallway. Vertical pieces draw the eye upwards, creating a sense of height.
-
Square: A versatile and modern option that creates a sense of symmetry and balance. Square pieces work well as a single focal point or grouped together in a grid.
Our Signature Framing for Canvas Art
For our canvas collections, we offer a selection of modern floater frames. This style creates a subtle space between the frame and the canvas, making the artwork appear as if it is floating within the frame for a clean, contemporary finish.
Our frames are crafted from high-quality materials and are available in a curated selection of finishes to complement your decor. If you require a special frame type or a specific finish, please contact us to discuss custom options.
The Modern Appeal of Metal Wall Art
Our metal wall art is designed to be frameless, offering a minimalist and graphic statement. Each piece includes built-in mounts that position it slightly away from the wall, creating a subtle and elegant drop shadow that adds depth and visual interest.
Custom Solutions
If your project requires a specific size or a unique finish, we are pleased to offer custom solutions. Please contact our team to discuss your vision.
