How to choose art size by room
Above a sofa
Choose artwork around 60-75% of the sofa width. For a luxury look, leave generous wall space around the painting rather than filling every corner.

A horizontal painting or calm pair of works usually feels best above a headboard. Keep the artwork connected to the bed width.

Dining rooms can handle richer colours and larger statement pieces, especially above a sideboard or long wall.

Narrow walls often work better with vertical paintings, small series, or one memorable entrance piece.

Choose art that looks good in real life and on video calls. One clear focal point behind the desk can elevate the whole room.

Small flat art guideWall art size FAQs
What size painting should I buy above a sofa?
A good starting point is artwork around two-thirds of the sofa width. For a bolder look, go closer to three-quarters, as long as the wall has enough breathing space.
Should wall art be centred on the wall or the furniture?
Usually centre it on the furniture below it, especially above a sofa, bed, console table or dining sideboard. This makes the room feel intentional.
How high should I hang a painting?
A common guide is to place the centre of the artwork around 145-155 cm from the floor. Above furniture, leave around 15-25 cm between the furniture and the artwork.
Can large art work in a small room?
Yes. One large artwork can make a small room feel more elegant and less cluttered than many small pieces.
Can Art For My Room match paintings to my actual room?
Yes. Upload a photo of your room and Art For My Room can help recommend original paintings based on your colours, furniture, light and room mood.
