When purchasing wall art, you should first determine the size of your wall. You can do this by using a tape measure and multiplying the length of the wall by.57. In general, you should pick an artwork that covers at least two-thirds of the wall, depending on the size of the frame. If you don't want to use a tape measure, eyeball it and use the nearest measurement.
The first tip is to hang the art at eye level. A print too small will look unbalanced when placed on a large wall. On the other hand, a large print will look odd if it's too small. So, it's important to consider the size of your art when choosing it. Here are some guidelines to remember when choosing the correct size: Unless you have a large wall space, choose artwork that will be the right size for the room.
Secondly, select artwork in proportion to the size of the wall. A large print is not a good match for a small wall. You don't want it to overwhelm the space. If you're decorating a small room, the best size is one that fits within the space. A 24 inch wide wall, for example, should feature a piece of art no wider than 13.5 inches wide. Alternatively, a narrow room can benefit from a vertical layout of three pieces.
