How to: Pick the Right Size for your Portrait
Are you struggling to choose the right size for your portrait order? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! With so many size options and customisation choices available, it can feel a little overwhelming at first.
One of the most common questions we receive is:
“How do I choose the right size for my portrait?”
Good news, we’re here to help! Below, you’ll find a simple size chart and tips to guide you based on:
The number of subjects (people, pets, or babies),
Your background preference, and
Where you plan to display your portrait.
🖼️ Choosing the Right Portrait Size
Not sure which size to pick? Here are three simple things to consider:
Number of Subjects: More people, pets, or plush toys = more space needed. Larger sizes prevent the artwork from looking cramped and allow each subject to shine.
Background Details: Including elements like home interior, or scenic backdrop? Bigger sizes help showcase these details clearly and beautifully.
Display Space: Where will you place it? A desk, shelf, or feature wall? Smaller sizes feel intimate and giftable. Larger ones make a statement. When in doubt, sizing up often gives your portrait more room to breathe and feel extra special.
