What is an oversized print?

We would define an oversized, framed print ranging from sizes bigger than 24×26 inches. Other larger options include:

• 30×40 inches
• 30×48 inches
• 36×48 inches
• 40×54 inches
• 40×60 inches
• 44×60 inches

Custom-sized prints can be made by some retailers — as large as 60×120 inches — depending on how large of a space you’re willing or wanting to fill.

10 Places to Install Oversized Art Prints in Your Home

1. Over Your Bed

Nothing makes more of a statement than installing an oversized art piece over your bed. Whether it’s a piece with abstract art or a stunning photograph, the art will speak for itself and set the tone for the room.

2. A Long Hallway

It can be challenging to decide how to fill a large hallway. Some people opt for wallpaper or a gallery wall of pictures to add character to the space. However, a large print, like this one, will not only fill the space but add just as much personality too.

3. Small Dining Room

If you’re looking to create a dramatic moment in your dining room, this is the perfect way to do it. Sometimes people think that adding a large print to a small space will mess up the scale of the room and make it feel more closed in. In this case, the art print is the perfect size to create a focal point, while leaning into the moody aesthetic of the small dining room space.

4. On a Large Wall in Your Bedroom

Maybe you want a dramatic art moment in your bedroom, but you have a large wall to fill. Adding an oversized art piece to this space will be so stunning. We love how this one adds a pop of color to the neutral, coastal palette of the room.

5. Over Your Living Room Sofa

Whether you live in a small apartment or are decorating your home, a dramatic way to make a statement in your living room is to add an oversized art print above the space. It draws your eye into the room, and can balance a living room that has a mantle or fireplace on the opposing side.

6. Above Your Toilet

Oftentimes, people forget to add personality to their bathroom, but if you think about it, you probably spend a lot of time in there getting ready and unwinding during the evening. So, making it a reflection of your personal style is a must. Adding a large framed photograph or print over the toilet is an unforgettable moment — especially for guests who visit! 

7. Over Your Nightstand or Bedroom Dresser

Adding a stunning piece above your nightstand or dresser can spark a whole styled moment for this space in your home. The large art print sets the scene, and adding eclectic decor and a large lamp to the furniture top will pull the complete look together. 

8. As a Focal Point Above a Desk

We can’t get over how stunning this massive art piece is over the office desk. Whether you have a home office meshed in with your living room or a separate room in your home designated as your office, you can still recreate this look. One thing you’ll need to keep in mind is making the large print span nearly the length of the desk — creating a more dramatic look. 

9. Installed Above an Entry Table

Create a bold statement by installing an oversized art piece in your entryway. This is the space your guests will see every time they enter your home, so making a statement when they walk in is a tasteful design choice.

10. On a Blank Wall in Your Living Room

Fill the large empty wall in your room with an oversized framed print. This idea makes an exaggerated statement, because the art print is a fraction of the size, while the mat detail around it fills a majority of the frame. It’s a stunning, modern interpretation of the “oversized art” concept, but we’re obsessed with it all the same.
