What is a good size for my print?

Why does print size matter for your wall art?

Choosing the right size for your print is more than a style decision, it’s the key to making your image stand out while fitting beautifully in your space. A print that’s too small can get lost on a large wall, while one that’s too big may overwhelm the room. At Artbeat Studios, we believe that the right print size should both honor your image and enhance the room it’s in.

When you invest in high-quality wall art, you deserve to enjoy it at its best scale and we can custom cut your order to make sure it’s exactly what you envision.

What should I consider before choosing my print size?

The “right” print size depends on a few practical and aesthetic factors:

• Wall space – Measure the area you plan to hang your print. Remember to leave breathing room between your art and nearby furniture or wall edges.

• Viewing distance – Larger prints look best when viewed from several feet away, while smaller prints can work well in tighter spaces.

• Orientation – Is your image horizontal, vertical, or panoramic? Matching the size and shape to your image is crucial for balance.

• Purpose – Is this a statement piece above your sofa, or part of a gallery wall? The intended role of your print impacts its ideal size.

• Surroundings – Consider the colors, patterns, and textures around the print. A bigger print can hold its own in a bold space, while a smaller one might be perfect for minimal styling.

How do custom sizes make the difference?

One of the advantages of ordering from Artbeat Studios is that you’re not limited to standard, rigid size options. We offer custom sizes so you can:

• Avoid unnecessary cropping that cuts off important parts of your photo

• Explore ultra panoramic formats for breathtaking wide shots

• Match your print exactly to your available wall space

• Create unique display options that stand out from mass-produced art

Because each piece is hand cut, hand polished, and made to order, we can help you achieve a look that truly fits your vision.

Can you give me real-world size examples?

Here are some starting points for popular wall art sizes and their best uses:

• Small (8" × 10", 12" × 18") – Great for shelves, desks, or small wall groupings

• Medium (16" × 20", 20" × 30") – Ideal for standalone pieces in modest-sized rooms or as part of a gallery wall

• Large (24" × 36", 30" × 40") – Perfect statement pieces above beds, sofas, or mantels

• Panoramic & Oversized (40" × 60" and up) – Makes an immediate impact in spacious rooms or high-ceilinged areas

Pro tip: Painter’s tape can be a great tool — tape the outline of a potential size on your wall before ordering to visualize the impact.
