What size canvas for your wall? A chart by wall width, with prices
Choose a canvas whose longer side is about half to two-thirds of the wall width: 24 to 32 inches for a 4-foot wall, 60 to 80 inches for a 10-foot wall. 22 of the 27 listed canvas sizes ship free (36 x 24 inches or smaller); the largest, 48 x 60 inches, is ₹20,060 framed with GST.
The rule, in one line
Art looks deliberate when it covers about half to two-thirds of the width of the wall, with at least 6 to 12 inches of clear wall on each side. The living-room guide explains the rule for a sofa wall; this page turns it into a lookup by wall width and attaches the listed canvas sizes and prices.
Canvas size by wall width
Measure the wall from corner to corner, or between a door and a window, in inches. Sizes are listed width first. For a landscape canvas, enter the larger number as the width in the studio. Prices are rate-card prices with 18% GST for the listed sizes that fit.
| Wall width | Piece width (50 to 67%) | Listed sizes that fit, longer side as width | Framed canvas, with GST | Rolled canvas, with GST |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48 in (4 ft) | 24 to 32 in | 12 x 24, 15 x 30, 16 x 24, 18 x 24, 20 x 30, 24 x 24, 28 x 28* | ₹1,534 to ₹4,176 | ₹1,121 to ₹2,249 |
| 60 in (5 ft) | 30 to 40 in | 15 x 30, 18 x 36, 20 x 30, 24 x 36, 30 x 40* | ₹2,397 to ₹7,375 | ₹1,475 to ₹3,442 |
| 72 in (6 ft) | 36 to 48 in | 18 x 36, 24 x 36, 30 x 40*, 36 x 48* | ₹3,452 to ₹10,620 | ₹1,859 to ₹4,956 |
| 84 in (7 ft) | 42 to 56 in | 36 x 48* | ₹10,620 | ₹4,956 |
| 96 in (8 ft) | 48 to 64 in | 36 x 48*, 40 x 60*, 48 x 60* | ₹10,620 to ₹20,060 | ₹4,956 to ₹8,260 |
| 120 in (10 ft) | 60 to 80 in | 40 x 60*, 48 x 60* | ₹16,717 to ₹20,060 | ₹6,883 to ₹8,260 |
An asterisk marks a size that is larger than 36 x 24 inches, so it is charged for delivery. A 7-foot wall fits only one listed size, and an 8-foot wall fits three, all charged for delivery.
What each size costs per square inch
A bigger canvas is not always cheaper for each square inch. Here is the with-GST rate-card price divided by the area in square inches, for eight listed sizes.
| Size (inches) | Area (sq in) | Framed, per sq in | Rolled, per sq in |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 x 6 | 24 | ₹24.58 | ₹10.67 |
| 8 x 10 | 80 | ₹9.84 | ₹6.15 |
| 12 x 18 | 216 | ₹5.74 | ₹4.10 |
| 18 x 24 | 432 | ₹5.33 | ₹3.28 |
| 24 x 36 | 864 | ₹5.33 | ₹2.87 |
| 30 x 40 | 1,200 | ₹6.15 | ₹2.87 |
| 36 x 48 | 1,728 | ₹6.15 | ₹2.87 |
| 48 x 60 | 2,880 | ₹6.97 | ₹2.87 |
The framed rate is lowest at 18 x 24 and 24 x 36 inches, and the rolled rate stops falling at 24 x 36 inches. If a wall can take either 24 x 36 or 30 x 40 inches, the larger one costs more for each square inch as well as in total.
Which listed canvas sizes ship free
Shipping is free when every piece in your order is no larger than 36 x 24 inches, either way round, in any quantity. If any piece is larger, the delivery charge is shown before you pay. Applied to the canvas list, 22 of 27 sizes qualify: everything up to 24 x 36 inches. The 5 charged sizes are 28 x 28, 30 x 40, 36 x 48, 40 x 60, 48 x 60.
Walls wider than 8 feet: one piece or a group
The longest listed side is 60 inches, so a 10-foot wall has only two single-piece options, 40 x 60 and 48 x 60 inches, both charged for delivery. A group of equal pieces, treated as one piece, can be cheaper: two framed 24 x 36 inch canvases in landscape (about 75 inches wide with a 2 to 3 inch gap) cost ₹9,204 with GST and ship free, against ₹20,060 for one framed 48 x 60 inch canvas. Sizes beyond the listed maximum need a custom quote through the contact page.
Before you order
- Measure the wall width in inches and choose the row above.
- Pick a listed size, or any in-between size: the studio prices it by area and shows the live price.
- Tape paper to the wall at that size and live with it for a day.
- Check the price in the studio; it is the one that applies.
The listed prices include 18% GST. A GST tax invoice is issued for every order, and every piece is made to order, so there are no change-of-mind returns or size exchanges. Compare canvas and framed print or see the full canvas price list.
Questions people ask
What size canvas for a 10-foot wall?
A 10-foot wall is 120 inches wide, so a single piece of about 60 to 80 inches looks right. The largest listed canvas, 48 x 60 inches hung in landscape, is 60 inches wide and costs ₹20,060 framed or ₹8,260 rolled, with GST. For anything wider, ask for a custom quote through the contact page, or hang a group.
Does a bigger canvas cost less per square inch?
Up to a point. Framed canvas works out at about ₹24.58 per square inch at 4 x 6 inches, falls to about ₹5.33 at 18 x 24 and 24 x 36 inches, then rises again to about ₹6.97 at 48 x 60 inches. Rolled canvas settles at about ₹2.87 per square inch from 24 x 36 inches upward.
Which canvas sizes ship free?
Shipping is free when every piece in your order is no larger than 36 x 24 inches, either way round. That covers 22 of the 27 listed canvas sizes, up to 24 x 36 inches. The other 5 (28 x 28, 30 x 40, 36 x 48, 40 x 60, 48 x 60) are charged, and the delivery charge is shown before you pay.
Is a group of smaller canvases cheaper than one big one?
It can be. Two framed 24 x 36 inch canvases hung side by side in landscape are about 75 inches wide with a gap of 2 to 3 inches, and cost ₹9,204 together with GST. A single framed 48 x 60 inch canvas is ₹20,060. Three framed 18 x 24 inch canvases in a row cost ₹6,903.
