Choosing the right poster size can completely transform the look and feel of your room. Whether you’re styling a gallery wall, adding a single statement print above your bed, or creating a cozy corner with framed art, the right dimensions make all the difference. At GS Print Shoppe, we offer a variety of poster sizes designed to fit your space beautifully—so let’s walk through how to find your perfect fit.
1. Start With the Wall You’re Decorating
Take a moment to measure your wall and consider the scale of nearby furniture.
-
Large walls (like over a couch or dining table) look best with one oversized print (24x36 or larger) or a balanced trio of medium-sized pieces.
-
Smaller walls (like entryways or bathrooms) shine with 8x10 or 11x14 prints, which create visual interest without overwhelming the space.
A good rule of thumb: your artwork should take up about two-thirds of the width of the furniture below it.
2. Consider the Mood You Want to Create
The size of your art affects how a space feels.
-
Large prints make bold statements—perfect for dramatic landscapes or abstract art that anchors a room.
-
Smaller prints create intimate, layered looks that invite you to lean in and explore the details.
Mixing both can add depth and personality—something GS Print Shoppe’s curated collections are designed for.
3. Plan for Framing and Borders
Framing adds anywhere from one to three inches around your print, so be sure to account for that when measuring. At GS Print Shoppe, all our prints are sized to fit standard frame dimensions, making it easy to customize without the stress of special sizing.
4. Experiment With Layouts
Before hanging, arrange your prints on the floor or use painter’s tape to visualize the layout.
Try:
-
Gallery walls: Mix 8x10, 11x14, and 16x20 prints for a collected, designer look.
-
Symmetrical sets: Choose two or three 18x24 prints for a clean, modern aesthetic.
-
Oversized centerpiece: A single 24x36 framed poster creates instant impact.
If you’re unsure, start with one of GS Print Shoppe’s gallery wall sets, thoughtfully arranged to fit a variety of spaces.
5. Match Size With Subject
The content of your print should suit its size. Delicate illustrations or line drawings look best smaller, while landscapes and bold designs command more space to breathe. Browse GS Print Shoppe’s art print collections for ready-to-frame options that bring balance and beauty to any scale.
Final Tip: Measure twice, order once! With the right size and frame, your GS Print Shoppe poster will feel like it was made for your home.
