June 27, 2025

When it comes to decorating your walls, choosing the right frame size can make all the difference. Whether you’re creating a cozy corner with a single art print or curating a statement gallery wall, the size of your frame matters more than you think.

Here’s a simple guide to help you pick the right size for your space.

📏 Common Frame Sizes (in inches) We Offer at Wallstuck

Print Size	Best For	Placement Suggestions
8x12	Small spaces, desks, shelves	Ideal for tabletop stands or grouped with others in a gallery wall
10x15	Medium-sized frames	Great for standalone display in small to mid-sized rooms
12x18	Larger, statement pieces	Perfect above beds, sofas, or console tables

For Extra Large sizes you can go with canvas prints. Those are perfect for big size ones.

📐 Size Visual Guide (Ratio & Comparison)

• Most of our prints follow a 2:3 ratio and 3:4 which ensures a consistent and aesthetic look when pairing or grouping them.

• If you’re unsure which to pick, hold a tape measure to your wall and mark out the size using paper or masking tape to get a feel of the frame size in real life.

🧩 How to Choose the Right Size

1. Measure Your Wall

• Use painter’s tape to map out frame sizes and see how it feels on your wall.

• Leave at least 2–3 inches of breathing room around each piece.

2. Match the Purpose

• One statement piece: Go for 12x18 or larger. Extra Large sizes are available in canvas prints 16x24, 18x24 etc

• Gallery wall: Mix 8x12 and 10x15 for visual interest.

• Shelf display: Stick to 8x12 for a cleaner look.

3. Room-by-Room Ideas

• Living Room: Big statement art or a pair of 12x18s side by side.

• Bedroom: Calming prints in 10x15 or 12x18 above the bed.

• Entryway or hallway: Narrow vertical frames like 8x12 in series.

🖼 Pro Tip: Size Isn’t Everything — Consider Grouping

You can group smaller frames (like three 8x12s) to create a larger visual impact, especially if you’re decorating a big blank wall on a budget.
