About the Canvas & Wall Art Size Calculator
Picking the right size wall art is the difference between a room that feels finished and one that feels off. The most common mistake is hanging art that's too small. Interior designers use a simple rule: a piece (or a grouping) should span roughly two-thirds to three-quarters of the wall or the furniture it hangs above, and its center should sit around 57 to 60 inches from the floor — average eye level. This free calculator takes your wall measurements, where the art is going, and your preferred orientation, then recommends an ideal print size plus a couple of alternatives, with a little visual so you can picture the proportions before you buy.
Frequently asked questions
What size art should go above a sofa?
Art above a sofa should be about two-thirds to three-quarters of the sofa's width. For a standard 84-inch sofa that's roughly a 55 to 63 inch wide piece or grouping, hung with the bottom edge about 8 to 10 inches above the back of the sofa.
How high should I hang wall art?
Hang art so its center is about 57 to 60 inches from the floor, which is standard gallery eye level. Above furniture, leave roughly 8 to 12 inches between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the frame so the piece relates to the furniture below it.
Is one large print or a gallery wall better?
Both work — it's about the look you want. A single large canvas makes a bold, calm statement and is easiest to hang, while a gallery wall of several smaller prints adds personality and flexibility. Either way, aim for the whole arrangement to fill about two-thirds of the available wall.
