Start by measuring the width of the wall area you want to fill. A simple rule of thumb is that your artwork should cover about two-thirds of the width of the wall or the furniture it hangs above (sofa, console, bed, etc.).

Small areas or narrow walls → A single canvas usually feels balanced and uncluttered.

Wide walls or open living spaces → A set of two (or more) helps anchor the area and prevents it from looking sparse.

The magic of a pair comes down to the gap between them.

Smaller walls: keep pieces closer together, around 5–10 cm (2–4 inches) apart. This keeps them unified and intentional.

Larger walls (especially with big canvases like 125 x 125 cm): open up the spacing to 20–40 cm (8–16 inches). This gives each piece breathing room while still reading as a set.

💡 Tip: Use painter’s tape to mark out where each piece will sit before you hang. It’s a quick, mess-free way to check proportions and spacing in real time.
