Size & Format Guide

Not sure which size fits your space? Here's how to decide.

Your wall isn't the same as your neighbor's wall. Your desk setup isn't the same as the one you saw on Instagram. So sizing isn't about rules. It's about understanding scale, viewing distance, and how much presence you want a print to have in your space.

We make five sizes. Each works for different spaces and intentions. Here's how they compare.

How Big is Big?

Screens lie. A print that looks large online can feel small on a wall. Seeing artwork in relation to the human body helps put scale into perspective. Below you can compare each available size next to an average person.

What Size Fits Your Space?

A4 / A3

Small, quiet pieces. Ideal for shelves, desks, or gallery walls.

A2

A flexible size. Works well above sideboards, in entryways, or smaller rooms.

A1

Statement size. Best above sofas, beds, or as a focal point on a clean wall.

A0

Architectural scale. For large walls, open spaces, or when the artwork should define the room.

How to Choose the Right Size

  • Step 1: Measure the wall, not the artwork

    Your Piece should typically fill 60–75% of the available wall width. Measure the space first, then choose a size that creates balance rather than leaving excess empty space.

  • Step 2: Decide if the artwork supports or leads

    If the piece is an accent, a smaller format works. If it should define the room or sit above a sofa or bed, choose a larger size than you initially consider.

  • Step 3: Consider viewing distance

    The further away you stand, the larger the artwork needs to be to feel present. If you are between two sizes, the larger format is usually the more considered choice.

How to Choose the Right Print Format

Each format creates a different presence. There is no better or worse, only different intentions.

Art Prints Unframed & Framed

Our art prints are produced on museum-grade archival paper with a smooth matte surface, rich in detail and precise in colour. Unframed prints ship flat and are ready for your own frame or mounting solution.

Framed art prints arrive professionally mounted with UV-protective acrylic glazing, dust-sealed backing, and solid wood frames in black, brown, natural, or white. Ready to hang from the moment you open the box.

Canvas Prints

Our stretched canvases use the same 12-colour Giclée process on artist-grade cotton canvas with a natural texture. Hand-stretched over a solid 38mm wooden frame. The edges are finished in black or white for a clean, gallery-ready look from every angle.

Framed Canvas

A framed canvas adds a floating frame around the stretched canvas, creating visible depth between the canvas edge and the frame. The result is an architectural, gallery-ready presence that gives the piece more weight on the wall.

Available in black, brown, natural, or white. Each piece arrives fully assembled, sealed, and ready to hang.

Still Unsure?

If you’re deciding between sizes or formats, imagine the piece in your space for a moment. Should it quietly support the room, or confidently define it?

When in doubt, the more considered choice is often the larger or framed option, offering balance, protection, and long-term presence.
