Paintings that fit

Drawn to scale. Dashed outline: ideal size. Painting: closest match from the collection.

How to use these results

Use the recommended width as a target, not a rule. Rooms with high ceilings can take larger art; rooms with lots of pattern may want something calmer and slightly smaller. Before you buy, tape a paper template to the wall at the planned height and live with it for a day.

Frequently asked questions

How is the ideal art size calculated?

Above furniture, the calculator uses the designer's guideline of about 57 to 75 percent of the furniture width. On an open wall it uses roughly half to two thirds of the wall width, centered about 57 inches from the floor.

What if my painting is smaller than the recommendation?

Group it with lamps, plants or a second painting so the whole arrangement reaches the recommended width, or choose a narrower wall for it.
