Choosing the right size for your art print or poster is just as important as choosing the artwork itself. Whether you're decorating a cozy reading nook, a bright hallway, or a dramatic feature wall, the scale and placement of your artwork will transform how a room feels.
At kseniaodintsova.com, all wall art prints are available in three sizes — A3, A2, and A1. But how do you decide which one is right for your space? In this guide, we’ll help you find the perfect fit based on your room, style, and intention.
Understanding the Sizes: A3, A2, A1
Let’s break it down:
-
A3 (29.7 x 42 cm / 11.7 x 16.5 inches) – Ideal for small spaces or gallery walls.
-
A2 (42 x 59.4 cm / 16.5 x 23.4 inches) – A versatile mid-size that works beautifully in most rooms.
Choose Based on the Wall and Room Type
Small rooms or narrow walls (e.g. corridors, bathrooms, entryways):
-
Opt for A3 or a series of A3s in a vertical or grid layout.
-
You can even pair A3 prints to create rhythm or tell a story.
Living rooms, bedrooms, or above furniture:
-
A2 is the most flexible size, working well above dressers, desks, and beds.
-
Combine one A2 with A3 prints for a layered look.
Feature walls or large empty spaces (e.g. dining areas, above a sofa, high ceilings):
-
Go for A1 for maximum impact.
-
A single A1 print can serve as a focal point that anchors your room's aesthetic.
Gallery Wall Ideas
If you’re building a gallery wall, combining different sizes adds dimension and visual flow. Try:
-
A large A1 centerpiece surrounded by A3 prints
-
A grid of 6 A3 prints for balance and symmetry
-
Two A2 prints side by side for a mirrored effect
Explore prints by color symbolism or pagan archetypes to find visual stories that connect.
Let the Art Speak to the Room
Ask yourself:
-
Do I want this piece to blend in or stand out?
-
Will it complement the furniture and lighting?
-
What kind of emotion or energy do I want this art to add?
For example, if you're placing a print from the Blooming in Darkness series in a bright hallway, the contrast will make the artwork pop. If you want a meditative or calming mood, place a more subtle piece in A2 or A3 near a reading corner.
Framing Tips and Hanging Height
Once you’ve chosen the size:
-
Leave white space around the print if you’re using a mat or frame—it enhances the visual effect.
-
Hang prints at eye level (about 145–155 cm from the floor to the center of the artwork).
-
Consider using identical frames for a clean look or mix styles for a more bohemian, eclectic feel.
