Large Paintings

Design Considerations: Large Paintings

Skip ahead to the art please!

When acquiring art, collectors are often seeking a piece that will make a statement. This can be achieved with paintings of any size, but often the walls which are focal points – above couches,  beds, and fireplaces, or in landings and stairways – are the most dominant in our spaces.

Here are some considerations when purchasing large wall art:

• • The dimensions of your wall can help dictate the orientation of the painting you select. A wall taller than wide might be best suited for a portrait orientation, a wider wall might be best suited for a landscape orientation. Squares are more flexible. There are no hard rules, but this is a good starting point.
  • A piece can just as easily be too big as it can be too small for a wall. For a painting, especially a statement piece, to be effective, it needs room to breathe.
  • The centre of a piece should be around (or just above) eye height, which is lower than most people tend to think. Keep this in mind if you plan to hang your painting above something, to ensure there is enough vertical space.
  • All of the above be challenging to get right intuitively. Take advantage of our free digital wall mockups to visualize artworks to scale in your space before making a purchase. To get started, reserve a painting you’re interested in.
  • If you’re buying big, focus on what you love. Decorative value is only part of the equation, and we believe it should be a small part. If you love a piece, it will fit naturally into your space. Let the art speak for itself!
