The Importance of Scale in Home Decor
Choosing artwork that harmonizes with the size of your walls and furniture is crucial. Art that's too small can look lost, while pieces that are too large may overwhelm your space. We’ll guide you through selecting sizes that not only fit your wall perfectly but also enhance the overall aesthetic of your room.
Tips for Choosing the Right Size
- Measure Your Space
Before purchasing, measure the area where you plan to hang the art to choose the most suitable dimensions.
- Consider the Furniture
Art should generally be about two-thirds the size of the furniture it’s over. This keeps the decor balanced.
- Grouping Artworks
When hanging multiple pieces, treat them as a single unit. The overall grouping should follow the same sizing rules as a single piece.
With the right size wall art, you can transform any room into a more inviting and stylish space. Use our detailed size guides to select pieces that will best fit and flatter your home. If you need a specific size not listed, don’t hesitate to reach out to Infusion Home support and find out if we have other options.
