Choose carefully before ordering
Size and frame guide
Measure your wall, compare the visual presence of each format and check the final frame size. The configurator always maintains the full proportions of the work.
Read scale
Use your wall, not just the inches
The same work changes presence significantly depending on its size. Compare it to a known piece of furniture, then check the exterior size of the chosen presentation.
Understanding clutter
The presentation changes the final volume
Step 1
Measure available space
Demarcate the area
Measure the free width and height of the wall, taking into account furniture, switches, lighting and other works.
Simulate the format
Reproduce the dimensions with masking tape or sheets of paper. Look at the result from the main viewpoints of the room.
Add the finish
A classic or floating frame increases exterior bulk. So compare the image size and the final dimension presented.
Tip: allow regular breathing around the work. Above a piece of furniture, think about the width of the whole, not just about an object placed in the center.
Step 2
Choose the desired visual presence
| Desired effect | Approach | To check |
|---|---|---|
| Discreet accent | A compact format surrounded by negative space. | Readability of details at the usual distance. |
| Balanced focal point | A work clearly visible without occupying all the available width. | Alignment with the furniture or the main axis of the room. |
| Monumental presence | A large format that structures the wall. | The recoil, accesses, final weight and hanging method. |
| Frame wall | A size consistent with the other elements of the composition. | Spacing and exterior dimensions, including frames. |
Step 3
Respect the orientation and proportions of the work
For a wide area
Naturally fits over a sofa, sideboard or bed when the composition extends in width.
To give height
Fits narrow walls, between two openings or in a space where the eye must rise.
For a compact focal point
Works well alone on a tightened wall or as a central element of a composition.
The proposed dimensions are calculated based on the original ratio: the image is neither stretched nor automatically cropped to enter a standard format.
Final dimensions

The frames, colors and formats actually available depend on the country, size and production route. The configurator of each work remains the reference.
Handmade painting
Sizes offered for oil paints
Size is determined by the longest side, while respecting the original proportions of the work.
Long sides available
60, 70, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180 or 200 cm.
Proportion protected
A size is not offered if the calculated short side becomes less than 20 cm.
Presentation to be expected
The canvas is delivered rolled, without frame or frame, to be stretched or framed locally.
Practical questions
Before validating your size
Does the size shown still include the frame?
No. The selected size corresponds to the work or the face of the support. The exterior bulk increases when a frame is added; use the instructions above to allow this margin.
Can I order any size for each work?
No. List depends on image ratio, media, finish and country of delivery. Only technically available combinations are displayed.
How to avoid a format that is too small?
Test its actual dimensions on the wall and observe them from the usual viewing distance. In a character-rich scene, check that details remain readable.
Who should install a large work?
The fixing must be adapted to the final weight and the type of wall. For a large format or if in doubt, call in a qualified framer or installer.
