Size Guide
MB Canvas / Size & placement
Art, at home.
Find the scale that belongs in your space.
A dimension tells you how big a piece is. A familiar room helps you picture how it will feel. Start with the references below, then measure your own wall.
01 / A familiar reference
Same dimensions.
Different presence.
A tall, narrow work and a wide panoramic can share the same surface area while changing a room in completely different ways.
SHARD / Vertical
20″ W × 60″ H
50.8 × 152.4 cm
A slender vertical presence for a narrow wall, an entry, or space beside a doorway.
LATITUDE / Panoramic
60″ W × 20″ H
152.4 × 50.8 cm
A long, quiet horizon for a broader wall or a composition above furniture.
Tap either room to enlarge. Room scenes illustrate proportion; furniture and door sizes vary. Images are not a measurement of your room. Examples show one size, not every available option. Check the selected product for available sizes and finished dimensions.
02 / From screen to wall
Measure. Mark. Step back.
01
Measure the space.
Record the usable wall width and height. Include door swings, switches, lighting, trim, and the furniture beneath the artwork.
02
Mark the exact outline.
Use paper cutouts or wall-safe tape, tested in a discreet spot. Mark the finished outer dimensions of the size you are considering.
03
Look from where you live.
Check the outline from the doorway and your usual seat. Compare a second size. Leave room for the wall around the work to breathe.
Above a sofa or console
About two-thirds of the furniture width is a useful starting point. Your room, the artwork’s shape, and the feeling you want can move that proportion.
An 84″ sofa × ⅔ = a 56″ artwork-width starting point.
A proportion example—not a product-size recommendation. Choose from the sizes available for the actual artwork.
03 / Shape changes the result
Compare more than inches.
12 × 18
20 × 30
24 × 36
Single works
Compare both width and height. A square, a portrait, and a panorama occupy the wall differently even when their longest side matches.

Display Systems & groups
Measure the entire arrangement, including every gap. Check the specific system’s layout before marking your wall.
Layout illustration only. Panel sizes, arrangement, and spacing depend on the selected system.
Installed width
Panel widths added together + the gaps between them
For example, three 12″-wide panels with two 2″ gaps occupy 40″ overall, not 36″. Use this arithmetic with your actual panel sizes and intended spacing.
04 / Placement & installation
Make it feel connected.
On an open wall
Try the artwork’s center around 57–60″ from the floor (about 145–152 cm). This is a starting point, not the top edge or the hook height. Adjust for the room and normal viewing position.
Above furniture
Start with roughly 6–8″ (15–20 cm) between the furniture and the artwork’s bottom edge. Center the composition over the furniture or usable wall area it belongs to.
For multiple pieces
Plan the group as one composition. Keep intentional gaps and alignments. For Display Systems, use the layout for that system rather than a generic spacing rule.
For installation
For mounting, hardware selection, or help with a large or multi-panel arrangement, consult a qualified local art installer. They can assess your wall and the actual artwork in person.
What about color, lighting, and nearby decor?
Give the artwork some quiet wall space. Repeat a restrained accent color nearby if you wish, and check glare from your usual viewing position. Avoid harsh direct sunlight and follow the care guidance for the selected material.
05 / Common questions
A few useful distinctions.
Are sizes shown width first or height first?
Use the W and H labels wherever shown: W is the horizontal distance; H is the vertical distance. Do not infer orientation from an unlabeled pair of numbers. Confirm the product’s selected size before ordering.
Does the frame add to the size?
Check whether the product’s dimensions describe the artwork or its finished framed exterior. Use the finished outside dimensions when measuring wall space. If that distinction is unclear on a listing, contact us before ordering.
Should I always choose the larger size?
No. Choose the scale that relates to the furniture, wall, and viewing distance. A narrow vertical may be exactly right where a broad statement piece would feel crowded.
Can I use a room mockup as a measuring template?
No. Room images help you understand the visual effect. Measure your own space and mark the actual product dimensions on the wall to check fit.
How do I convert inches to centimeters?
Multiply inches by 2.54. For example, 20″ = 50.8 cm and 60″ = 152.4 cm.
Your room. Your proportions.
