Size Guide

The right size turns a poster into a centrepiece. Use this guide to match a print to your wall, from a desk-side accent to a statement piece for the garage or living room. Available sizes vary by design, so please confirm the options on each product page.

Scale is easier to judge in a real room than on a screen, so here is how each size looks framed and hung in a lived-in space.

Choosing the right size for your wall

Above furniture: as a rule of thumb, aim for artwork roughly two-thirds the width of the sofa, bed or sideboard beneath it.
Eye level: hang the centre of the print at about 145 to 155 cm (57 to 61 in) from the floor.
Garages and large walls: the 24 x 36 in size holds its own at a distance, ideal for a workshop or a wall seen from across the room.
Gallery walls: combine 11 x 14 in and 12 x 18 in prints, leaving 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3 in) between frames for a considered, curated look.
Portrait or landscape: where a design offers both, choose the orientation that echoes the shape of the wall.

Paper and finish

Every paper print is produced on thick, premium 200+ gsm paper with a textured satin and lustre finish, so it feels substantial in hand and looks sharp on the wall. Exact paper specifications may vary slightly depending on the region where your print is produced.

Framing

Standard prints are sold without a frame or mat. Standard poster sizes also make it easy to find a ready-made frame. For framing options for an additional cost, please contact us, or follow our guide, How to Frame Your Car Poster Like a Pro.
