People Wall Art for the Staircase / Landing
People art draws on human presence, expression and the stories a face or figure can hold. For a staircase: the one wall in the house you experience in motion, so a themed sequence — a journey through one genre — reads beautifully here. Every design here can be ordered as a custom-size canvas painting (framed, or unframed and rolled), a printed photo frame, or a cork, pin or magnetic board.

People wall art for the Staircase / Landing: choosing and sizing
Choosing the right size for your wall
Type the exact width and height you want. A focal piece usually fills two-thirds to three-quarters of the furniture width below it.
Hanging it in the Staircase / Landing
Stagger the group along the sightline of each step rather than a single straight datum line, since the floor itself is sloped.
