How to Choose the Right Canvas Wall Art Size Above a UK Sofa or Bed (CM & Inch Chart)
When hanging stretched canvas wall art above a UK 2-seater sofa, 3-seater sofa, or bedroom headboard, interior designers rely on the 2/3 Golden Ratio Rule: your artwork should span roughly 50% to 75% of the width of the furniture below it, hung 15–20 cm (6″–8″) above the top edge of the sofa or headboard.
You can preview both of our gallery-wrapped canvas sizes above your exact sofa or bed width using our free Interactive UK Desk & Wall Art Size Visualizer (CM & Inches).
