Which size for a wall 36 inches wide?
On a wall 36 in (91.4 cm, 3 ft) wide, a piece that covers half the width is 18 in across. The largest listed Framed canvas painting that fits that is 18 x 12 in as a landscape piece (₹1,239 with GST, ₹1,050 before GST) or 18 x 36 in as a portrait piece. At 40 % and 60 % of the wall the landscape answers are 12 x 12 in and 20 x 20 in. The shares are examples, not advice.
Bars drawn to scale along the 36 in (91.4 cm) wall; dark bar = width of the largest landscape piece for that share.
Largest listed framed canvas for a 36 inch wall
| Share of wall | Target width (arithmetic) | Largest landscape piece | Largest portrait piece | Wall left each side (landscape) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 40 % | 36 x 0.40 = 14.4 in | 12 in wide x 12 in high ₹885 with GST (₹750 before GST) | 12 in wide x 24 in high ₹1,534 with GST (₹1,300 before GST) | 12 in |
| 50 % | 36 x 0.50 = 18 in | 18 in wide x 12 in high ₹1,239 with GST (₹1,050 before GST) | 18 in wide x 36 in high ₹3,452 with GST (₹2,925 before GST) | 9 in |
| 60 % | 36 x 0.60 = 21.6 in | 20 in wide x 20 in high ₹2,131 with GST (₹1,806 before GST) | 20 in wide x 30 in high ₹3,196 with GST (₹2,708 before GST) | 8 in |
Between 40 % and 60 % the target moves from 14.4 in to 21.6 in, a span of 7.2 in. Over that span the landscape answer goes from 12 x 12 to 20 x 20 and the portrait answer from 12 x 24 to 20 x 30.
The arithmetic, step by step
- Measure the wall width in inches: 36 in (91.4 cm, because 1 in = 2.54 cm; 36 x 2.54 = 91.44 cm).
- Multiply by the share you want the art to cover: 36 x 0.40 = 14.4 in, 36 x 0.50 = 18 in and 36 x 0.60 = 21.6 in.
- List the framed canvas sizes whose across-the-wall side is not above that target. For a landscape piece the longer side runs across the wall; for a portrait piece the shorter side does.
- Pick the one with the widest across-the-wall side (the larger area wins a tie). The full yes-or-no list for this wall is in the table further down.
- Check the live price and the exact size in the studio before ordering.
The same steps work for the width of a sofa or a desk instead of a wall: replace 36 in with that width. The rule only looks at width; it does not know the height of the wall, the door positions or the furniture. A piece is never rounded up, so on a 36 in wall the largest landscape piece at 50 % is 18 in wide and leaves 9 in of wall on each side when centred.
