Build your exact arrangement
Add up to 12 frames, drag them into place, and test different compositions until the wall feels balanced.
Get the right size above furniture
Use real wall measurements to preview true scale, so your art does not look too small over a sofa or bed.
Match frame finishes to your room
Compare black, wood, gold, white, or frameless styles and fine-tune mats so everything works with your space.
Decide with confidence before ordering
Test placement first, then switch to clean preview mode to confirm the look before you spend or drill.
What Size Art Should You Hang?
Choosing the right size artwork is one of the most important decisions in wall decor. Art that is too small gets lost on a large wall, while oversized pieces can overwhelm a space.
The 60-75% rule: artwork should cover 60 to 75 percent of the available wall space above furniture. For a wall section that is 120 cm wide above a sideboard, look for art between 72 and 90 cm wide.
Gallery walls: when hanging multiple pieces, plan the total arrangement to follow the same proportion rule. Space frames 5 to 8 cm apart for a cohesive look.
Eye-level center: the center of your artwork should sit at 145 to 152 cm from the floor — the standard museum hanging height. Above furniture, leave 15 to 20 cm between the furniture and the frame's bottom edge.

Art Placement by Room
Sizing and placement rules for the spaces people decorate most.
Living Room — Sofa Wall
Width: 60–75% of the sofa's width. For a 220 cm sofa, target 130–165 cm of art or total arrangement.
Height: Center at 145–152 cm from the floor. Bottom edge 15–20 cm above the sofa back.
Single vs gallery: One large statement piece or a symmetrical 3-piece row both work. Avoid anything narrower than half the sofa width — it floats and looks unintentional.
Bedroom — Above the Bed
Width: Two-thirds the width of the bed. For a queen (160 cm), target 100–120 cm of art or arrangement.
Height from bed: Bottom edge 20–25 cm above the headboard. High ceilings suit a tall vertical piece or a stacked pair better than a single horizontal.
Style tip: Muted, calm tones work better than high-contrast graphics in a bedroom. Botanicals, soft landscapes, and abstract washes are the most consistently popular choices.
Hallway & Entryway
Scale to width: Narrow hallways suit one tall vertical piece or a tight linear row of small frames. Leave at least 30 cm of wall on either side.
Height: Eye-level rule still applies: center at 145–152 cm. In a staircase, follow the angle — each frame rises with the stairs at equal intervals.
Easy win: A row of 3–5 identically framed pieces is the simplest way to make a hallway feel intentional without overcrowding it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I visualize art on my wall?
Upload a photo of your wall, enter its measurements (width and height), then click 'Add Frame' to place a frame. Drag it to reposition, resize by pulling the corners, change the frame style, and choose artwork from the gallery or upload your own.
What size art should I hang above a sofa?
Artwork above a sofa should be about two-thirds to three-quarters the width of the sofa. For a standard 210 cm sofa, target 130–165 cm of art or total arrangement. The bottom edge should sit 15–20 cm above the sofa back.
How high should I hang pictures?
The center of your artwork should be at eye level — typically 145 to 152 cm from the floor. This is the standard used by galleries and museums worldwide. When hanging above furniture, leave 15–20 cm between the furniture and the bottom of the frame.
Can I plan a gallery wall layout?
Yes. You can add up to 12 frames on a single wall photo. Each frame can have a different size, style, and artwork. Drag them into your desired arrangement to visualize your gallery wall before making any holes.
Is this tool free?
Yes, completely free with no signup required. Everything runs in your browser — your photos are never uploaded to any server.
What image formats are supported?
JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC up to 10MB. HEIC files from iPhones are automatically converted. For best results, take a straight-on photo in good lighting.
One large piece or multiple smaller ones — which is better?
A single large piece creates a bold focal point and is the safest choice above a sofa or bed. Multiple smaller pieces add character but work best when they share a visual theme — matching frames, a consistent mat color, or a common palette. Use the gallery wall planner to test any arrangement before committing.
Should picture frames match or can I mix styles?
Matching frames create a cleaner, more formal look — ideal for minimalist interiors and symmetrical arrangements. Mixing styles adds personality and suits eclectic spaces, but works best when frames share at least one element: the same finish (all black, all wood), similar width, or a unified mat color. Avoid mixing more than two or three distinct styles on one wall.
What is a picture mat and do I need one?
A mat is the flat border between the artwork and the frame, typically white or cream. It adds visual breathing room and keeps the piece from touching the glass. Modern and frameless styles often skip it for a cleaner, edge-to-edge look. Toggle the mat option in the visualizer to compare the difference on your wall.
