The number one mistake people make when creating a wall portrait display is choosing the wrong size portraits to display – they select one that is too small. “I don’t want to go too big” is one of the biggest fears I hear from my clients when discussing which size of wall portrait would look best on their wall. They say they want an 8×10 – well, I am here to tell you why you need to “Go big, or go home.”
Think about the last time you went to an art museum, watched an IMAX movie on a big screen or stood to admire the mural on the side of a large building (see example below). The larger the image the more it grabs your attention and the more energy it gives off. For example, take this floor to ceiling painting above that lives in the popular Montage Deer Valley ski resort. It is a showstopper piece and anchor for this hallway that demands everyone's attention. Now try to imagine if this painting was the size of an 8x10 (@ the size of a piece of paper) - it would completely get lost on this wall and almost become unnoticeable to the sight and senses.
Trust me, I know how scary it is to go bigger on your walls if you've never done it before. You may not want to go as large as this floor to ceiling in your home but most rooms can easily accommodate a 40" standout piece. This is precisely why we provide a complimentary walk through of your home to plan and design the perfect size images to fit your space and match your style. Using our state-of-the-art software and photos of the walls in your home, we will show you what your artwork will look like in your home and take the guesswork out of what size to order to fit your space.
Now go around and look at the walls in your home. Do you have a WOW piece of art in at least one of your rooms? Do you have images of your kids/ family on your walls that make you smile from across the room and have your guests in awe?
If the answer is no, you need to contact me now :)
