Choosing the right art print size and placing it properly can completely transform the look and feel of your space. Whether you are decorating a large living room or a cozy reading nook, understanding size and proportion is key to making your art feel intentional and stylish. At GS Print Shoppe, we offer a variety of print sizes to help you create the perfect display for your home. Use this guide to confidently pick the right sizes and know exactly where and how to hang them.

Small Prints
Small art prints usually range from five by seven inches to eight by ten inches. These sizes work beautifully on bookshelves, desks, or layered in a gallery wall. They are also great when framed with large mats for a more elevated look. Use small prints to add detail to unexpected spaces like kitchens, bathrooms, or bedside tables.

Medium Prints
Medium sizes include prints that are around eleven by fourteen inches or sixteen by twenty inches. These are versatile and can be used solo or in pairs. They work well over small furniture like console tables or nightstands. Medium prints also create balance when combined with other sizes in a gallery layout.

Large Prints
Large prints, such as eighteen by twenty four inches or twenty four by thirty six inches, make a bold statement. These are ideal as standalone pieces above a bed, sofa, or fireplace. They create a focal point in the room and help anchor the space. When using large art, make sure it does not feel cramped by giving it room to breathe.

Oversized Prints
Oversized art includes anything larger than twenty four by thirty six inches. This size is perfect for dramatic impact. Use these prints in open areas or on blank walls that need filling. Oversized pieces can also create a high end gallery feel, especially when paired with minimalist decor.

Gallery Wall Placement Tips
If you are building a gallery wall using multiple prints, aim for balance. Use a mix of sizes, and start by placing the largest print first. Then build around it with medium and small pieces. Keep spacing consistent, usually two to three inches between frames. Lay everything out on the floor before you commit to nails, or use painter’s tape to plan it out on the wall.

Height Guidelines
A good rule of thumb is to hang art so the center of the piece is at eye level, which is about fifty seven inches from the floor. If you are hanging art above furniture, leave around six to eight inches between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the frame. For gallery walls or stacked prints, adjust so the entire arrangement is centered.
