Size and placement

Choose a size that fits the wall — and the memory.

Use the room, viewing distance and artwork orientation to narrow the choice. The sizes shown on the selected product remain the authoritative options.

Measure first. Choose second.
Start with the finish

Each format occupies the wall differently.

Exact dimensions depend on the chosen product and appear in its size selector. This guide helps you compare the visual character of the available formats without replacing those product-specific options.

Unframed

Premium or fine art poster

A flexible paper format that can be framed later. Allow space for any mount and frame you plan to add.

Ready to display

Framed poster

The outer frame increases the total footprint. Measure the display area, not only the printed artwork.

Gallery wrapped

Canvas

A deeper, object-like presentation. It works well where you want the artwork to stand away from the wall.

Layered finish

Framed canvas

Canvas depth plus an outer frame creates the strongest visual presence and requires the most clearance.

Three checks

Measure the space, not the imagination.

A few physical checks prevent an artwork from feeling unexpectedly small or oversized once it arrives.

  1. 01

    Measure the usable area

    Record the clear width and height after allowing for nearby furniture, switches, shelves and doors.

  2. 02

    Mark the outline

    Use removable painter's tape or paper to preview the proposed footprint at eye level.

  3. 03

    Check the viewing distance

    Detailed group portraits generally benefit from a larger presentation when they will be viewed from across a room.

Orientation

Let the photograph lead.

The orientation must suit both the source photograph and the available product options.

Portrait

Often suits one person, couples standing close together and vertical wall spaces.

Landscape

Often suits wider family groups, pets beside people and horizontal spaces above furniture.

Square

Creates a balanced focal point where a square option is available for the selected format.

Final check: the dimensions and orientations displayed in the selected product's options are the authoritative choices for that order.
