Start with scale
Use the size guide before choosing a work or frame format.
Room path
Office and Study
Choose work that supports concentration, fits desk-adjacent walls, and does not compete with monitors or reference material.
Focus and inspiration
The ideal study print offers enough visual interest to prevent the room from feeling sterile, but not so much that it becomes a distraction during deep work. Single-subject photographs, spare landscapes, and geometric abstractions tend to fade from conscious attention after a few minutes. Avoid narrative works, portraiture with direct gaze, or high-contrast patterns that trigger involuntary eye movement—your peripheral vision will keep pulling you toward them.
Desk-scale pieces
Prints hung within 1.5 metres of a desk should be small enough to take in at a glance: A4 to A3 (21 × 30 cm to 30 × 42 cm) is the practical range. Larger works force the viewer to shift posture or swivel, breaking flow. Place the centre of the work at seated eye level—approximately 120 cm from the floor—to avoid neck strain during long sessions. If the wall is shared with a monitor, keep the print at least 30 cm from the screen edge to reduce visual clutter.
Vertical formats for narrow walls
Studies often have narrow vertical spaces between windows, bookcases, or door frames. A portrait-orientation print (2:3 or 3:4 ratio) fills these gaps without protruding into circulation paths. For a 90 cm-wide gap, a 60 × 90 cm vertical print leaves 15 cm of wall on each side—enough to avoid a cramped look while using the full height. Avoid square formats in these slots; they emphasise the narrowness rather than correcting it.
Avoiding visual clutter near monitors
Monitors already present dense rectangles of light and text. Adding a busy print within the same field of view raises cognitive load and can reduce reading comprehension. The rule of thumb: if the print contains more than three distinct shapes or colours, move it outside the 90-degree cone centred on the monitor. Plain matting and simple frames help reduce edge competition between screen bezel and artwork border.
