How To Choose The Right Sized Art For Your Space

Choosing the perfect piece to display in your home or office requires just a few things to take into consideration.  First of all, choose something that you love.  Has someone you know ever told you how to choose the right sized art for your space?  I know that many people have opinions.  That’s great!  Listen to their opinions, but, make sure that you choose something that your really love and that speaks to you.  Everyone has different nees and everyone has their own likes and dislikes.  Choose the piece that makes you happy and that evokes the perfect emotion in you.

Things To Remember When Choosing The Right Size Art Piece

A Few Things to Consider

There are several things to remember whe choosing your beautiful new art.  Remember that getting the size right does matter.  Take a look at these ideas.  They might just help you determine the perfect size piece for your home or office.

• If you have a huge open wall, you will want to work around your furniture using the general rule of covering 2/3 to 3/4 of that area with your artwork. But if you have a small bare wall (like in a hallway or between two windows), you can keep the space a little more open by using the next step.   (From The Nest.com)
• Measure the length and width of the wall where you want to hang the painting. If it is going over a bed, couch or other piece of furniture, only measure the open wall space, from the top of the furniture to the ceiling rather than from floor to ceiling. (From Homeguides)
• Account for what is on the wall already when deciding on a size for the painting. Paintings hung over furniture should be less than 75 percent of the width of the furniture; for example, a painting over an 84-inch-long sofa should be 63 inches wide or less. Artwork hung over a fireplace tends to look best when the painting is as wide as the opening of the fireplace (no matter the size of the mantel). (From Homeguides)
• Factor frame size into your choice. This isn’t necessary when working with unframed canvases; however, even a moderate 2-inch frame will add 4 inches of width to your new painting, altering the ratio between the artwork and the size of the wall. (From Homeguides)
