You just brought home a beautiful canvas print. You hold it up... and your heart sinks. It's too small. Or worse—it's huge and totally swallows your space. We've all been there.
At Kubo.Gallery, we believe art should feel like it belongs. That it enhances your room, tells a story, adds that final “this-is-home” touch. But none of that works if the size is off. So let’s talk about how to get it just right—without any guesswork.
Why Size Matters
Picture this: a tiny piece of art floating on a massive blank wall. Kinda sad, right? On the flip side, a huge canvas in a tight space can make your room feel cramped.
When the size is right, it doesn’t just fit—it balances. It makes your room feel thoughtful, elevated, and intentionally designed—even if you decorated it between coffee breaks and online meetings.
The Secret Formula: 2/3 of Your Furniture Width
We’re not here to make you do math, but this one’s easy:
If you’re hanging art above furniture (a bed, couch, console table), aim for 60–75% of that furniture’s width.
Let’s translate that into real life:
-
Got a 6-foot couch (72 inches)? A piece that’s 45–54 inches wide is your sweet spot.
-
Console table 40 inches wide? You’re looking at 24–30 inches of art.
This isn’t just a “rule”—it’s a lifesaver.
Best-Selling Canvas Sizes
These are the go-to sizes that just work—in real rooms, for real people:
| Size (inches) | Metric (cm) | Works great for... |
|---|---|---|
| 12x18 | 30x45 | Tiny nooks, bathrooms, entryways |
| 16x24 | 40x60 | Bedrooms, hallways, cozy corners |
| 24x36 | 60x90 | Over the couch, dining area, office wall |
| 30x45 | 75x115 | Master bedrooms, large open walls |
And yes—all our canvases come gallery-wrapped, ready to hang, no frame drama required.
One Big Piece or a Gallery Wall?
-
Want a bold, editorial look? Go big. One canvas. Statement made.
-
Prefer something layered and flexible? Two or three smaller pieces work great together.
-
Feeling creative? Build a gallery wall. Think staircases, long hallways, or that weird blank space you never know what to do with.
There’s no wrong choice—only what feels right in your space.
