Small to Medium Wall Art above Bed

Quick rule for above a bed:

If you’re using smaller prints, they’ll look best when you treat them like a set, not a single statement piece. Aim for your wall art to fill about 60–75% of the bed width (count the full row as one width). For a 193 cm / 76 in king bed (like the example image), that means your art should span roughly:

116–145 cm wide (46–57 in)

That can be one medium piece, but it usually looks best as a gallery row of 3–5 frames that adds up to that total width. This mockup shows five popular small-to-medium sizes that scale nicely above a bed:

• 13 × 18 cm (5 × 7 in)
• 27 × 35 cm (11 × 14 in)
• 30 × 40 cm (12 × 16 in)
• 40 × 50 cm (16 × 20 in)
• 40 × 60 cm (16 × 24 in)

A simple way to get this look: start with one “anchor” print (40 × 60 or 40 × 50), then build out with 2–4 smaller sizes.

How high should I hang it?

A simple rule:

• If hanging above a headboard, leave 15–25 cm (6–10 in) between the top of the headboard and the bottom of the lowest frame.
• For a row of multiple frames, keep the top edges aligned so the set looks clean and intentional.
• Keep spacing between frames consistent: 5–8 cm (2–3 in).

If you have high ceilings, you can go slightly higher, but avoid floating art that feels disconnected from the sofa.

Medium Wall Art above King Bed

Quick rule for above a bed:

Aim for your wall art to fill about 60–75% of the bed width. For a 193 cm / 76 in king bed (like the example image), that means your art should span roughly:

116–145 cm wide (46–57 in)

That can be one medium statement piece, or a simple pair/set that adds up to that total width.

This mockup shows three popular medium sizes that scale beautifully above a king bed:

• 50 × 70 cm (20 × 28 in)
• 60 × 80 cm (24 × 32 in)
• 60 × 90 cm (24 × 36 in)

If you want a clean, minimal look, 50 × 70 works well. For a more “finished” bedroom wall, 60 × 80 and 60 × 90 usually feel more balanced above a king bed.

How high should I hang it?

A simple rule:

• Leave 15–25 cm (6–10 in) between the top of the headboard and the bottom of the frame.
  
• If you’re hanging one larger piece, center it to the bed/headboard, not the wall.
  
• If you’re hanging a pair, keep the spacing consistent: 5–8 cm (2–3 in) between frames.
  

Avoid hanging art too high, especially above a bed. It should feel visually connected to the headboard, not floating above it.

Medium Wall Art above a Two Seater Sofa

Quick rule for above a bed:

Aim for your wall art to fill about 60–75% of the sofa width. For a 162 cm / 64 in two seater sofa (like the example image), that means your art should span roughly:

97–122 cm wide (38–48 in)

With medium-sized prints, you can go with one strong statement piece, or a simple pair/trio that adds up to that total width. This mockup shows three popular medium sizes that look balanced above a two seater:

• 50 × 70 cm (20 × 28 in)
  
• 60 × 80 cm (24 × 32 in)
  
• 60 × 90 cm (24 × 36 in)
  

If you want the most versatile option, 60 × 80 is a great middle ground. For a more dramatic, “filled” look, 60 × 90 usually looks best above a two seater, especially on a plain wall.

How high should I hang it?

A simple rule:

• Hang so the center of the artwork sits around 145–155 cm (57–61 in) from the floor, or
  
• If hanging above furniture, leave 15–25 cm (6–10 in) between the top of the sofa and the bottom of the frame.

If you’re hanging multiple pieces, keep the layout clean:

• Keep spacing between frames consistent: 5–8 cm (2–3 in)
  
• Align the top edges for the most polished look

Avoid hanging art too high, medium pieces look best when they feel visually connected to the sofa.

Medium Wall Art above a Sideboard

Quick rule for above a sideboard:

Aim for your wall art to fill about 60–75% of the sideboard width. For a 152 cm / 60 in sideboard (like the example image), that means your art should span roughly:

91–114 cm wide (36–45 in)

That can be one medium statement piece, or a simple set that adds up to that total width. This mockup shows three popular medium sizes that work beautifully above a sideboard:

• 50 × 70 cm (20 × 28 in)
  
• 60 × 80 cm (24 × 32 in)
  
• 60 × 90 cm (24 × 36 in)
  

If you want a clean, understated hallway look, 50 × 70 is a great choice. If your hallway wall is more open and you want the area to feel more styled, 60 × 80 or 60 × 90 will usually look more balanced.

How high should I hang it?

A simple rule:

• Leave 15–25 cm (6–10 in) between the top of the sideboard and the bottom of the frame.
  

Or, if you prefer using a “center point” rule:

• Hang so the center of the artwork sits around 145–155 cm (57–61 in) from the floor.
  

If you’re hanging multiple pieces, keep the layout tidy:

• Keep spacing consistent: 5–8 cm (2–3 in)
  
• Align the top edges for a clean, gallery-style finish
  

In hallways, it’s especially worth keeping the art slightly lower (and closer to the sideboard) so it feels connected, not floating.
