Large wall art, 70×100 cm
Most walls look better with bigger art than people dare to buy. A print that is too small floats on the wall and makes the furniture below look bigger; a large one anchors the room.

Our 70×100 cm prints are chosen from works with enough detail to hold up at that size: Hilma af Klint's The Ten Largest, whose originals are over three metres tall, and Hiroshige's Sudden Shower, scanned at high resolution from an original impression.
As a rule, art above a sofa or a bed should be about two thirds of the furniture's width. A single 70×100 cm print suits furniture around 110–160 cm wide; above a larger sofa, hang two 70×100 cm prints side by side with 8–10 cm between them.
Questions
What size is 70×100 cm in inches?
About 28×40 inches, one of the standard large poster sizes.
How high should I hang a large print?
Centre it about 145 cm from the floor, or 20–30 cm above the top of the sofa or headboard if that is higher.
