Choosing the size of a canvas is an important decision to make. It will determine how much space you have to work with and if it is possible for you to display your artwork at all. 

Choosing a canvas size that will best fit your space can be a daunting task. You want to make sure you get enough height and width to fill the space with a beautiful work of art, but not so large that it dwarfs everything else in the room.

Some considerations include the size of your room, the amount of wall space available, and the focal point that you would like for your artwork. You can then choose what size suits you best. Here are some tips to support you when beginning the process of choosing canvas wall art.

Deciding on your type of Canvas

Deciding on the type of canvas you want is important, make sure to consider your budget and personal preference. For example, if you have a tight budget, you might want to go with a stretched canvas. This type of canvas will be more affordable but it also means that there is no need for a frame. On the other hand, a stretched or framed canvas can be an investment piece that will last throughout time. 

A stretched canvas will remain in excellent condition while the other materials may lose their effectiveness over time. Investing in this type of artwork could be a smart decision because of its longevity and durability.

Here is “Blue Trees Blue” shown on the Porter Paintings website, this is an Acrylic Paint on a Pre Stretched Canvas. The Dimensions on this amazing work of art is large and your room size would need to accommodate this size of the canvas. A piece this size would hang at eye level, and really would be like a hung piece of furniture.

How to Calculate the Best Possible Size of a Canvas for Any Space

• The first thing you need to remember is that the width of the canvas should be at least twice the height. This rule applies to both portrait and landscape paintings.
• The second thing you need to take into account is the focal point of your painting; it should never be more than one-third of the space on either side, otherwise, it will look unnatural.
• Lastly, always choose a canvas big enough to show all your canvas without making it too crowded.

The Best Wall Art for Small Spaces

Wall art is a great way to display your personality and make your space feel more like home. But if you live in a small space, it can be hard to find wall art that’s not too overwhelming or bulky – and won’t make your space feel too small.

A one-off painting by Porter Paintings called “Uluru Statement from the Heart”  would suit a smaller wall space, and the colours are vibrant and would bring a smaller room to life.

How to Measure a Room 

Measure the wall’s dimensions.

This is a simple, but a fundamental step. You can’t hang artwork unless you know the dimensions of the wall space. If you’re hanging art on a bare wall, measure from the floor to ceiling and from left to right. If you’re hanging art over a sofa, measure from the floor to the top of the sofa and from left to right – this will be your artwork height.

Measure your frames or canvases before going shopping for art.

It’s important to measure your frames or canvases before going shopping for art so that you can find pieces that fit perfectly on your blank wall without too much excess space around them – this will allow enough room for any future rearrangements or additions!

Choosing the right canvas for a room can be a complicated process. Factors such as colours, size, and cost can also affect your decision to buy one. Overall, there is no wrong answer when you are deciding what to put on the walls of your home because it all comes down to personal preference.
