How to Choose an Art Print Size

The best size is the one that fits your wall—and the frame you want to use. A few measurements now make the choice much easier.

One size, for each print. If you choose 8×10 inches for a set of three, you receive three separate 8×10-inch prints. It does not mean the whole set measures 8×10 inches. Frames are not included.
1

Measure the space

Measure the usable wall width and height. Above furniture, also measure the sofa, bed or sideboard so you can picture the full arrangement.

2

Try a paper outline

Mark your chosen print dimensions on scrap paper and place the outline on the wall. Leave room for the frame and neighbouring prints.

3

Check the menu

Available sizes vary by artwork. Choose from the actual product options, and check the artwork’s portrait, landscape or square orientation.

Reading a print size

Example: 8×10 inches

This is the paper size for one print. In portrait orientation it is 8 inches wide and 10 inches high.

Illustration, not an artwork or frame included with your purchase.

Using an existing frame?

Check the print size the frame accepts. A frame’s outside dimensions are usually different from the size of the artwork it holds.

If the frame has a mat, check its opening and the overlap needed to hold the print. Don’t rely only on the frame’s outer measurement.

Need a size that is not listed? Ask our team before ordering; a custom size needs confirmation.

Inches and centimetres

One inch is 2.54 centimetres. These conversions are measuring examples; they are not a promise that every product offers every size.

Choosing more than one print?

The whole display includes every print, its frame and the gaps between them. Our print-set guide and calculator help you work out the space.
