About papers & production →Size guide
Choose scale with confidence.
This guide uses the actual formats available for the artwork you are viewing, rather than a generic catalogue-size chart.
Scale in the roomChoose size in relation to the wall, nearby furniture and viewing distance. Larger is not automatically better; visual breathing room matters.
Artwork vs. outer frameThe listed variant describes the artwork/print format. The finished outer frame is larger and depends on the frame construction.
For projectsFor a specific wall, share dimensions and the gallery can recommend scale and presentation before purchase.
