Art is what makes a room feel personal. Getting the size and placement right is just as important as choosing a piece you love.
Go bigger than you think
Above a sofa, choose art that is about two-thirds of the sofa width. Small pieces on a big wall tend to look lost.
Hang at eye level
Centre the artwork roughly 145 cm from the floor, or 20–25 cm above the back of the sofa.
Echo your palette
Pick one or two colours from your cushions, rug or ceramics so the art feels connected to the room.
Add a mirror
A mirror on an adjacent wall bounces light and balances a large artwork beautifully.
Before you drill, cut paper templates the size of your frames and tape them to the wall to test the layout.
