What size landscape print should you choose for the living room wall?

Choose a landscape print measuring between two-thirds and three-quarters the width of the furniture below it. This proportion allows the horizontal composition and its horizon line to balance the sofa or sideboard perfectly, creating an open, calming visual anchor without overwhelming the living room wall.

Above a standard 200–220 cm sofa, a horizontal 120×80 cm or panoramic 140×70 cm format works best. Above a 120 cm sideboard, an 80×60 cm or 90×60 cm print creates a balanced focal point. Hang the artwork so its lower edge sits 15–25 cm above the furniture, aligning the horizon roughly at eye level, around 145 cm from the floor.

The presentation material also alters perceived scale. A cotton canvas on a wooden stretcher offers a frameless, minimalist look. If you prefer a cotton poster framed in natural ayous wood with plexiglass, adding a 5–7 cm passe-partout expands the total width while providing breathing room around open scenery.
