Pet Portrait Sizes

Choosing pet portrait sizes comes down to one thing: where it's going. A portrait sized for a hallway will disappear above a sofa. Here's how to pick the right size for every room.

How to Choose the Right Pet Portrait Size

How to Choose the Right Pet Portrait Size

Pet portrait sizes come down to one thing: where it's going. A portrait sized for a hallway wall will disappear above a sofa. A portrait sized for a desk will overwhelm a small shelf. The most common mistake people make, and I've seen it hundreds of times, is ordering too small. Almost everyone who goes one size up from their first instinct is glad they did. The rule is simple: bigger than you think.

Size by Location

Where it’s going decides the size. Here’s the quick guide, spot by spot:

Custom pet portrait hanging above a sofa

Above a Sofa or Bed

18×24″ min · ideally 24×36″

The wall behind a sofa is big visual real estate, a small portrait gets lost.

Pet portrait in a gallery wall arrangement

Gallery Wall

11×14″ or 16×20″

Medium sizes let each piece hold its own when you’re grouping several.

Pet portrait on a desk or shelf

Desk or Shelf

8×8″ or 8×10″ tabletop

Acrylic Tabletop (from $80) and tabletop canvas are built for these spots.

Enough presence to anchor the mantel without crowding it.

Yogi's portrait is 16×20" Gallery Canvas. I had 11×14" in my cart and switched it at the last minute, best decision I made. It fills the wall the way it should. When people walk into that room, it's the first thing they see. That's exactly what I wanted.
