Art at Scale
Choose the work. Give it room.
A short Studio One guide to scale, placement and palette, with room notes to help you make a considered shortlist.
Illustrative room render. Shown approximately at A2 scale for context. Frame not included.
A quieter way to choose artwork for the room you live in.
Start with scale, placement and palette. Use the guide while you compare the wall, furniture and viewing position in your own room.
The right work does more than fill a wall. Its scale changes how the room feels, while its colour, texture and framing can create calm, contrast or a point of focus. Begin with the way you use the space, then consider how the artwork will be encountered from across the room and at closer range.
01.
Measure the presence
Consider the complete framed presence, rather than the print alone.
02.
Choose the viewpoint
Find a placement that works from the entrance and your everyday seat.
03.
Connect the palette
Let the artwork and room speak to one another without matching everything.
