Choosing the Perfect Size for Your Wall Print

You’ve chosen the perfect picture to use, and you know what kind of print you want to buy; now it’s time for the final question: how big a print should you get? The right size for your wall print hinges on a few different things, but there are 3 factors in particular to bear in mind as you make this decision. You will need to consider your budget, the size of the wall you plan on using, and the resolution of your chosen image. We’re going to dive into each of those over the course of this article. Ready? Let’s go!

Measuring Your Space and Visualizing the Print

Once you have chosen which wall in your space you want this wall print to be made for, you will need to get measurements for the space you have to work with. Once you know the wall size, you can tape out the space that you want your print to fill to get that measurement. By taping out where you want that print to go, you can visualize exactly what you want the final look to be.

Knowing the Max Print Size for Your Image

Another key to knowing just how large your print should be is knowing what your image’s resolution is and what the maximum size is for that resolution. For example, you can’t use just any photo taken on your phone and expect to be able to get a giant print of it to turn out perfectly. You can only manipulate the pixels to a degree in order to perfect the image. Instead, you will most likely want to find a high-quality image with high resolution to use for a project like this.

Choosing a Style

Now comes the fun part: choosing a display style for your print! You will have the option of using a single panel or multiple for your image. Many people will opt to do their wall prints in diptych (2 panels) or triptych (3 panels) form to make a bigger impact. Even if you have a smaller image, you can maximize the space by having multiple panels. This is particularly stunning if you have something like a landscape image that you are wanting to use and you want to make a giant acrylic print for a room’s statement piece.

With these specific things in mind, you should be able to create the perfect piece of art to make your space shine. Just remember to think about your space and your budget as you plan out this project. Finding the right size for your print is the key to making sure it looks just right in your home or office. Take your time with this design process and you can make an art piece that will complement your space.
