When Choosing Art, Size and Scale
When it comes to choosing art bigger is usually better. Choosing art that's too small is a very common mistake. Take for instance the wall space over a sofa. As a general rule, the art above it should be approximately 2/3 the width of the sofa or larger. The same goes for space above a bed. However, even this rule can be broken. In a gallery wall, several small pieces can work together in one display. In this case, think of the overall display as one unit and try to follow the same guidelines. If you have a particular painting or print that you adore but the size is too small, consider having it framed with an extra-large matte to increase its visual impact.
