Choose the right size
Sizing & placement
Start with the wall and furniture you actually have, then compare the total arrangement width—not a generic frame label. PosterBloom uses the two-thirds proportion and 2–3 inch gaps as practical starting points, not universal design laws.
5 measured guides · Updated July 14, 2026
Measure first
One repeatable sizing sequence
- 01
Measure the anchor
Record the width of the sofa, headboard, desk, console, or usable wall—not the room's full width.
- 02
Choose the arrangement
Compare one print, a pair, or a trio by total outside span, including the gaps between frames.
- 03
Template the wall
Tape paper rectangles at the proposed size and height. Adjust for lamps, pillows, sight lines, and real frame dimensions.
Catalog-backed tool
Calculate against sizes PosterBloom sells now
The calculator evaluates current 30 × 40, 50 × 70, and 70 × 100 cm print formats as singles, pairs, and trios. It does not recommend a fictional custom size or assume that one layout fits every room.
