What size painting on a wall?

Before buying a painting to decorate your home, you ask yourself a lot of questions. One of them is to wonder what size of painting to choose for your wall? If it is too small, it will not be seen. If it's too big, it will stain the room.

Each room has its decorative painting

What size painting on a wall?

small paintings are perfect in small rooms like a toilet or a small office, elongated paintings are good in long rooms like a hallway. The giant paintings amaze a large room like a living room or a dining room. The medium-sized paintings are suitable for more rooms because they make an ideal in-between for the kitchen, living room, bedroom...

Table formats

The vertical tables highlight the ceiling height of a room. If you have a beautiful living room with a high ceiling, emphasize it with a vertical wall painting.

The square and horizontal paintings are the most "classic", used to highlight a landscape or a family photo. They bring a decorative touch to the room and you can spend several minutes admiring this image.

We have already talked about elongated tables to highlight pieces in length. Think about it too if you need to decorate your professional space:an office, open space, meeting room, reception hall... The elongated landscape painting is chic and designer.

Painting clearly visible in the room

Finding THE place for the painting to be clearly visible in the room is not necessarily easy. Follow these tips:

  • place the center of the painting at eye level. On average, this is 1.50 m above the ground.
  • Center the painting horizontally on the wall. If it's off to one side or the other, you'll see it. So, measure your wall well on each side before drilling!
  • It seems obvious but I'll note it anyway; put your table straight. Feel free to check with a level.
  • Find a strategic place above a piece of furniture such as a sofa, a sideboard, a small chest of drawers. This highlights the painting as well as the furniture!
  • Don't put a painting above something that you can't stand out, like a radiator.

Combining multiple tables

The triptychs are causing a stir right now. These are 3 or 5 tables (most often an odd number to have a central table) placed side by side and which form a single large image, printed in several parts. Design effect guaranteed.

It is also possible to combine paintings that have nothing to do with each other, sold separately. Create a theme with several tables of the same style . Personalize your interior by choosing 3 jungle images for example:
