Size & Hanging Guide

Three sizes, chosen so that every one maps to a standard frame format — no custom framing needed. Here’s what they are, what they fit, and how high to hang them.

The three sizes

SizeIn inchesStandard frameBest for
30 × 40 cm≈ 11.8 × 15.7″12 × 16″Shelves, desks, hallway clusters, small walls
50 × 70 cm≈ 19.7 × 27.6″20 × 28″Above sideboards, dressers, reading chairs
61 × 91 cm≈ 24 × 36″24 × 36″Statement walls, above sofas and beds

All unframed prints include a white paper border around the artwork, so they sit beautifully in a frame with or without a mat.

How high to hang

  • The gallery rule: the centre of the artwork at 145–152 cm (57–60″) from the floor — average eye level. When in doubt, use it.
  • Above furniture: leave 15–25 cm (6–10″) between the furniture top and the bottom of the frame, even if that breaks the eye-level rule.
  • Above a sofa or bed: the artwork (or set) should span roughly two-thirds of the furniture’s width — that’s why our largest size is 61 × 91 cm.

Hanging pairs & gallery-wall sets

  • Keep 5–8 cm (2–3″) between frames — close enough to read as one piece, far enough to breathe.
  • For rows, align the centres, not the tops — mixed sizes will still read level.
  • Every Gallery Wall Set ships with a hanging layout card showing the arrangement it was curated for.
  • Lay the arrangement on the floor first. Move paper, not nail holes.
