Canvas Size Calculator
Quick answer: a balanced canvas is often about 60–75% as wide as the furniture below it. Enter your measurements to estimate a practical range before choosing your art.
Measure the sofa, bed, console, fireplace, or desk—not the entire room.
Enter a furniture width greater than zero.
Your recommended canvas width
This is a design starting point, not a strict rule. Leave breathing room around doors, lamps, shelves, and adjacent artwork.
How to use the result
Choose a canvas near the balanced target for an easy, proportional look. Move toward the minimum for a lighter wall and toward the maximum for a bolder focal point. For a triptych, include the gaps between panels in the total displayed width.

Canvas size calculator FAQ
What size canvas should go above a sofa?
Start with a total artwork width around 60–75% of the sofa width. Center the canvas over the sofa rather than the full wall.
What size canvas should go above a bed?
Measure the bed or headboard and use the same 60–75% starting range. A single horizontal canvas or a multi-panel set can both work when their total width stays balanced with the bed.
Does the calculation include a frame?
Use the finished outside width of the artwork. If a frame adds width, include it when comparing a product size with the recommendation.
How do I calculate a triptych?
Add all panel widths plus the spaces between them. That combined width should fit within the recommended range.
