Art Print Size Guide — What Size Do I Need?

What size art print do I need?

Choosing the right size makes all the difference between a print that looks perfectly at home and one that gets lost on the wall. All our prints come in five sizes — here's what each one works best for.

Which size for which room?

Living room
A3 as a single statement piece. A2 or A1 above a sofa or fireplace. Mix A4 + A3 for a gallery wall.
Bedroom
A2 above a double bed works beautifully. A3 for smaller rooms. A pair of A4s either side of a headboard.
Nursery
A4 or A3 prints are ideal. Mix 3–4 A4s in a loose grid for a playful gallery wall effect.
Kitchen
A4 or A5 works well in compact kitchen spaces. Two A4s side by side above a breakfast bar looks great.
Hallway
A4 portrait prints suit narrow walls. A3 works in wider hallways with space to view from a distance.
Home office
A3 at eye level behind your desk. A5 or A4 on a shelf to add personality without overwhelming the space.

How to measure your wall

A print should cover roughly two-thirds of the wall width it's hanging on. For a 90 cm wide wall, aim for a print (with frame) around 55–60 cm wide.

Above a sofa or bed, keep the bottom of the print 15–20 cm above the furniture. Don't hang art too high — eye level is around 145–150 cm from the floor.

For a gallery wall, lay your prints on the floor first to find an arrangement you love before making any holes. Keep gaps between frames consistent at around 5–8 cm.

Don't forget framing

Our prints arrive unframed, rolled in a protective tube, ready to frame. Standard A-size frames are widely available from IKEA, Dunelm, Marks & Spencer and most UK homeware shops — no custom sizing needed. A simple black or natural wood frame works with almost every print in our collection.

Not sure which size to order? Our most popular choice is A3 — it's large enough to make an impact but affordable enough to mix with other sizes on a gallery wall.
