How to hang horse art (without overthinking it)

A friendly guide to sizes, frames and gallery walls — so your new print looks like it was always meant to be there.

You bought the print. Now the fun part — getting it on the wall so it actually sings. Here’s everything we tell friends.

Pick the right size

As a rough rule, art should fill about two-thirds of the wall or furniture it sits above.

  • Above a bed or sofa: go big — A2 or A1.
  • A child’s room or reading nook: A3 is friendly and not overwhelming.
  • A gallery wall of several pieces: mix A4 and A5.

Every Wildë download includes sizes from A5 to A1 at 300 DPI, so you can print the same piece small and large.

Frame or no frame

Both work. A simple oak or black frame with a wide white mat feels gallery-grade. Pinned bare with bulldog clips feels relaxed and a little wild — which, honestly, suits the subject.

Leave more breathing room around a print than you think you need. Air is what makes it look expensive.

Hang at eye level

Centre the piece around 145–150 cm from the floor. For a gallery wall, keep an even gap (about 5 cm) between frames and treat the whole cluster as one big rectangle.

That’s it. Print it, frame it, live with it — and let a little of the wild in.
