How to Choose the Right Print Size for Your Space

Choosing the right print size is just as important as picking the image itself. The wrong size can feel awkward or out of proportion, while the right one enhances your room’s flow.

Step 1: Measure Your Wall

  • Take careful measurements of the wall or area where you want your print.

  • Consider furniture placement—don’t hang a print too high or low relative to a sofa or table.

Step 2: Consider Viewing Distance

  • Small prints suit intimate spaces or areas you’ll view up close.

  • Large prints work in rooms where people will see them from across the room.

Step 3: Use Proportions

  • A 2:3 print works well for standard frames.

  • For wide walls, panoramic prints can balance the space.

  • For narrow walls, vertical prints are ideal.

Step 4: Try a Mock-Up

  • Tape paper to the wall in the size you’re considering.

  • Stand back and imagine how the piece will feel in real life.

Print size isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about balance, scale, and how your space feels. Measure, visualize, and test to ensure your prints make the impact you want.
