START WITH THE WALL
Scale changes how a room feels.
Measure the open wall area and the furniture below it. Use painter’s tape to mark the proposed outer dimensions before choosing your artwork.
- Above furniture: aim for about two-thirds to three-quarters of its width.
- Leave approximately 15–25 cm between furniture and artwork.
- When choosing between two sizes, the larger option usually feels more intentional.
A SIMPLE APPROACH
Three steps to get it right.
Measure
Record the wall width and the furniture width separately.
Mark
Outline the artwork dimensions with low-tack painter’s tape.
Step back
View the outline from the room’s normal entrance and seating position.
