What size wall decal should I choose above a sofa or along a hallway?

Use the artwork’s actual width and height, then check it against furniture and clear wall space. The photographs below show what to look for; the diagram gives you a simple way to test your own dimensions.

Example only: 1.2 m-wide artwork centred above a 2 m sofa leaves 40 cm on either side relative to the sofa.

Measure above the furniture

Measure the clear area above your sofa or sideboard, including switches and shelves. Mark the proposed width and height with a paper outline, or low-tack tape suitable for your paint after testing it.

The example is not a fixed styling rule. Check the view while seated and leave enough space for cushions and objects on the furniture.

Choose a decal below, then upload a photo of your own room in the visualiser. The artwork is already supplied—you do not need to upload a decal file.

A circular format needs clear space for its diameter, not just its width above the bench. Product room view.

Check the shape as well as the size

A tall tree, wide branch and circle occupy the same wall differently. Keep the original design proportions: changing width usually changes height too.

The diameter options for Enter the Forest Mural Dot offer a useful comparison with a cut-out decal.

Look at the complete artwork before ordering

Compare the room view with the full design. A photograph may crop the artwork or hide part of it behind furniture. Use the listed dimensions rather than estimating from the scene.

For separately supplied birds or other pieces, check each piece’s size as well as the example group arrangement. The gaps you choose can change the overall spread.
