🎨 Which size of painting should I choose?

When you order a hand-painted portrait or artwork from Fotoalsgemälde.ch, you face one important choice: Which size of painting best suits your needs and your home?

We offer all sizes - including custom sizes, but here we guide you through our most popular standard formats. We give you concrete recommendations so you can easily choose the right size.

RECTANGULAR FORMATS (landscape and portrait)

🖼 60x40 cm - the discreet statement

Perfect for:

• Single portraits or pets

• Pictures from a holiday or a special day

• Smaller wall space (e.g. a hallway or next to a door)

Comparison: About the size of a large notice board - clearly visible but not dominating.

🖼 70x50 cm - the versatile favourite

Perfect for:

• Portraits of couples

• Paintings with several elements (people + background)

• Space above a sofa, chest of drawers or in a bedroom

Comparison: Like an average poster - balancing between impact and modesty.

🖼 100x70 cm - the big effect

Perfect for:

• Statement pieces in the living room or office

• Couple or group portraits

• Subjects with depth and horizon (e.g. sunset, mountains)

Comparison: Just like a big TV (42-50”) - fills a wall beautifully and creates a wow effect.

SQUARE FORMATS

🖼 50x50 cm - the sleek choice

Perfect for:

• Single subject, e.g. a pet or child

• Gallery wall or a grouping of several paintings

• Smaller rooms or niches

Comparison: Like a large LP cover - simple and modern.

🖼 60x60 cm - classic and harmonious

Perfect for:

• Pictures with one or two people

• Subjects with calm and symmetry

• Kitchen, office or hallway

Comparison: Like a square sofa cushion - harmonious in any room.

🖼 70x70 cm - when the painting should fill a little more

Perfect for:

• Couple portraits or pets with a background

• Square subject with depth

• Living area or the wall above a piece of furniture

Comparison: Like a medium-sized mirror frame - fills well without taking over.
