Quick Answer

  • Small rooms (entry, bath): 8×10–12×16 in, single piece.
  • Above sofa or bed: frame width ≈ 60–75% of furniture width. Common picks: 24×36 or 30×40 in.
  • Gallery wall: pick one anchor (18×24 or 24×36), add 2–3 supporting sizes if required.

Measure First

  1. Note furniture width. Target art width = width × 0.60–0.75.
  2. Leave 6–10 inches of space above the furniture.
  3. Hang center at 57 in from floor (standard eye level).
