Available sizes + price
| Size | Price | Share of orders | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10×20" | $69 | ~18% | Bedside, narrow walls, office desk, budget gift |
| 20×40" | $149 | ~46% (most-ordered) | Above a sofa, bed, dining table; first-apartment walls |

The 2/3 rule — sizing above furniture
Hang the canvas so it's roughly 2/3 the width of the furniture below it. Working examples:
- Above a 3-seat sofa (78–84" wide): 24×48" or 30×60" canvas
- Above a queen bed headboard (60" wide): 20×40" canvas (centered)
- Above a king bed headboard (76" wide): 24×48" or 30×60"
- Above a 6-person dining table: 24×48" or 30×60"
- In a hallway: 10×20" or 20×40" vertical
- On an office desk wall: 10×20" or 20×40"
Room-by-room recommendations
Living room (above sofa)
The 24×48" is the goldilocks size — readable from across the room, doesn't crowd the wall. Pair with the wood floater frame upgrade ($58) for a gallery-grade finish.
Master bedroom (above bed)
The 20×40" hits the 2/3 rule perfectly above a queen, 24×48" above a king. The lyrics read clearly from the bed itself — ideal for couples who want to see the canvas every morning.
First apartment / smaller space
10×20" or 20×40". The 10×20" works on narrow walls, behind a desk, or in the entryway. The 20×40" anchors a small living room.
Family room / open-plan main floor
30×60" — statement piece. Best for 50th/60th anniversary gifts that need to be visible from multiple angles in the room.
Hallway / entryway
10×20" or 20×40" in vertical orientation. Pairs well with a console table or coat hooks.
Office / home office
10×20" or 20×40". The 10×20" sits behind a desk; the 20×40" anchors the wall behind the monitor.
Nursery / kids' room
10×20" or 20×40" — lullaby lyrics above the crib. Lower sizing means the canvas reads clearly to a parent during 3am feedings without being overwhelming.

| 50th gold | 24×48" or 30×60" (79% select gold foil) |
| 60th diamond / 75th platinum | 30×60" |
| Wedding gift | 20×40" |
| Valentine's / engagement | 10×20" or 20×40" (heart shape) |
| Father's Day | 20×40" (often guitar shape) |
| Mother's Day | 20×40" (standard or polaroid) |
Common sizing mistakes
- Going too small for a milestone year. A 10×20" canvas for a 50th anniversary reads under-invested. Match the size to the year — 50th = 24×48" minimum.
- Going too big for a first apartment. A 30×60" in a 600 sq ft apartment overwhelms the room. Most newlyweds pick 20×40".
- Ignoring the 2/3 rule. A 10×20" canvas above a 80" sofa looks like an afterthought. Size up to 24×48".
- Hanging too high. Center of canvas should sit ~57" from the floor (eye-level for an average adult).
