Choosing the Right Print Size

Choosing the Right Print Size

The size of a print changes how it feels in a space. Here’s a simple guide to help you choose between A4 and A3.

A4 (21 x 29.7 cm)

A4 prints feel intimate and personal.

They work well:

• On shelves or desks

• In smaller rooms

• As part of a gallery wall

• As thoughtful gifts

An A4 drawing invites you to step closer. It suits quiet spaces and subtle placements.

A3 (29.7 x 42 cm)

A3 prints have more presence.

They work well:

• Above sofas or sideboards

• On larger walls

• As a standalone feature

• In rooms with higher ceilings

An A3 piece holds the wall more confidently. It makes a stronger visual statement.

Which Should You Choose?

Choose A4 if you want something subtle, giftable, or part of a collection.

Choose A3 if you want impact and a clearer focal point.

If you’re unsure, consider the wall space first. A quick way to test: cut paper to A4 or A3 size and tape it to your wall to see how it feels.
