Size Guide

Choosing the right size

The most common mistake when buying art prints is going too small. A print that looks substantial on screen can disappear on a wall. If you’re unsure, go one size up.

Here’s a rough guide to how each size reads in a room:

30×40 cm

The smallest size. Works well on a shelf, a small wall, or grouped with other prints. Good for a bedside table or a narrow hallway wall. On its own on a large wall it will feel small — pair it with one or two others if that’s where it’s going.

40×50 cm

A versatile middle size. Holds its own on a wall without dominating a room. Works well above a desk, in a bathroom, or as part of a larger arrangement.

50×70 cm

This is where prints start to make a real statement. A 50×70 above a sofa, bed or dining table works well in most rooms. If you have high ceilings or a large wall, this is the minimum size worth considering for a solo print.

70×100 cm

A large print. Fills a wall properly. Works best as a single focal point — above a sofa, behind a bed, or on a feature wall. Not for small rooms.

A0 (84×119 cm)

The largest size. A proper statement piece. Suits large rooms, high ceilings, open-plan spaces. Measure carefully before ordering.

A note on the Hans Bäckström collection

Prints in the NEAT x Hans Bäckström series are available in 30×45 cm and 40×60 cm rather than the standard sizes. These proportions are closer to the original photographic format.

Not sure?

Cut out a rectangle of paper or newspaper in your chosen size and hold it against the wall. It takes thirty seconds and removes most of the uncertainty. A 50×70 is larger than most people expect. A 30×40 is smaller.
