Choosing the right size for nursery wall art can be surprisingly confusing.
Too small, and the prints feel lost. Too large, and they overwhelm the space.
Most size guides only show frame dimensions — but what really matters is how the artwork looks compared to the width of your crib or dresser.
This interactive nursery wall art size helper lets you enter your furniture width and instantly see how different print sizes would actually look on your wall.
Whether you’re hanging one print, a pair, or a set of three above your crib, this guide will help you choose the most balanced, calming layout for your space.
Your recommended print size
What size nursery wall art should you choose?
As a general rule, wall art should span around 60–80% of the furniture width it hangs above. This creates a balanced, calm look that feels intentional — especially in minimalist, Scandinavian, and Japandi-inspired nurseries.
If your prints feel too small, the wall looks empty. If they are too wide, the space can feel crowded.
Use the size helper above to experiment with different sizes and find the one that feels right for your room.
