How to choose

  • The two-thirds rule: above furniture, choose art about two-thirds the width of the sofa, bed or sideboard below it. A 210 cm sofa suits a piece around 140 cm wide, or a pair of smaller pieces.
  • Tape it out first: cut paper or use painter's tape to mark the size on your wall, then look at it from across the room.
  • When in doubt, go bigger. Art that is too small is the most common mistake; Nagai's wide horizons look best with room to breathe.
  • Gallery walls: mix 21×29.7 cm and 40×60 cm pieces, keep 5–8 cm between frames, and use the same frame colour for a calm, unified look.
05

How to hang

  • Height: the centre of the artwork at about 145–152 cm (57–60″) from the floor.
  • Above furniture: leave 15–25 cm (6–10″) between the furniture and the bottom of the piece.
  • Fixings: use a wall plug and screw suited to your wall (plasterboard, brick or concrete), especially for canvases from 70×100 cm and framed pieces from 60×90 cm.
