Getting the size right.
A short, practical guide to choosing a format, a material and a frame — so the piece fits the wall and the room.
Four sizes.
Every edition comes in four standard formats. As a rule, go one size larger than feels safe — art almost always wants more room than the wall suggests.
30×40Desks, clusters, stairs
50×70The everyday hero
70×100Above a sofa or bed
100×140A single statement
01
Above furniture
Aim for a piece roughly two-thirds the width of the sofa or bed below it.
02
Hanging height
Centre the work at about 145 cm from the floor — eye level for most rooms.
03
As a set
Keep a consistent 5–7 cm gap between frames and let one palette run through.
Framing
Museum paper and acrylic can arrive framed in solid oak, black-stained ash or natural maple. Canvas is frameless by design, stretched on a 35 mm bar with wrapped edges.
- Oak — warm and neutral, works almost anywhere.
- Black ash — graphic and modern, good for high-contrast work.
- Natural maple — pale and quiet, disappears into light walls.
