\nMost print shops are sorted by subject: florals here, quotes there, family signs somewhere else. That works if you already know what you want. It does not help with the question most people are stuck on, which is quieter and more practical: what goes in this spot, and how big should it be?
\nPrint Nook is built around that question. A nook is a small part of a home with a job to do. The wall above the couch anchors the living room. The space over the bed is the last thing you see at night. The entryway says hello. The stair landing is the wall you pass ten times a day without stopping. The mantel changes with the season. The coffee corner is small, and all yours.
\nSo the shop has six doors, one for each of those spots. You pick the nook. We name the size that usually fits it, and show you the prints that were designed for it. A family name sign drawn wide for a sofa wall is a different design from a small print meant to lean beside a kettle, and we would rather show you the right one first than leave you to guess from a grid of thumbnails.
\nThe people who shop here are usually in one of two situations. Some are finishing a wall of their own. Others are buying for a couple or a household: an anniversary, a wedding, a housewarming. Both groups ask the same things. Will it look lost up there? Will the names be spelled right? Will it arrive before the date? This page explains how the store answers each of them.
\nEach nook is a shop category. The table gives the starting size for each one. It is a starting point, not a rule: your sofa may be longer than most, your landing may be narrower. The Size Guide shows how to check with a tape measure in about five minutes.
\n| Nook | \nSizes that usually fit | \nWhat tends to hang there | \n
|---|---|---|
| Above the Sofa | \n36 × 24 in landscape, or a three-panel set | \nA wide piece that holds the room together: a family name sign, a place that matters, a calm landscape design. | \n
| Over the Bed | \n36 × 24 in or 24 × 18 in landscape | \nNames and a date, a quiet line of text, something you are happy to see first thing in the morning. | \n
| The Entryway | \n16 × 20 in or 18 × 24 in portrait | \nA welcome, a family name with an “Est.” year, a print that sits well above a console table or a row of hooks. | \n
| The Stair Landing | \n24 × 36 in portrait, or three 11 × 14 in posters | \nOne tall piece for a tall wall, or a short row that climbs with the stairs. | \n
| The Mantel | \n20 × 16 in or 24 × 18 in landscape | \nA print that can hang above the shelf or lean on it, and be swapped as the months change. | \n
| The Coffee Corner | \n8 × 10 in to 12 × 16 in | \nSmall prints for a small wall: beside the machine, above a shelf of mugs, next to a reading chair. | \n
Alongside single prints, the range includes three sets (a three-panel canvas set, a set of three posters and a set of four seasonal mini prints), one wall tapestry and one hanger-frame poster. You can see everything together on the Shop page if you would rather browse the whole range at once.
\nA print that is the wrong size is the most common way a wall goes wrong. Too small, and it floats in the middle of the paint like a stamp on an envelope. People often ask us some version of this: “Will a 16 × 20 look lost above an 84-inch sofa?” The honest answer is yes, on its own it probably will.
\nTwo rules of thumb do most of the work, and decorators have used both for a long time.
\nArt that hangs above a piece of furniture looks settled when it spans roughly two-thirds of that furniture’s width. Measure the sofa, the headboard, the console or the mantel shelf, and multiply by two and then divide by three. An 84-inch sofa points to around 56 inches of art. A 60-inch queen headboard points to around 40 inches. A 48-inch console table in the hall points to around 32 inches.
\nThat width can be one piece or several. Three panels hung in a row with small gaps between them read as one shape, and the gaps count towards the total. That is why the sofa nook offers a three-panel set next to the single 36 × 24 inch landscape print.
\nOn an open wall, the middle of the piece should sit around 57 inches from the floor. That is close to average eye level, and it is the reason a print hung “where it looked right from the ladder” so often ends up too high. On a stair landing or in an entryway with no furniture below, this one number is usually all you need.
\nAbove furniture, the furniture leads. Keep the print close enough to the sofa back or the headboard that the two look like a pair, and let the centre height land where it lands.
\nBoth rules, with worked numbers for different sofas, beds and tables, are on the Size Guide. It also explains a paper-template and painter’s-tape test that lets you see a size on your own wall before you order anything.
\nMost designs come in more than one format. They are three different objects, and the right one depends on the wall and on who it is for.
\n| Format | \nWhat it is | \nOften chosen when | \n
|---|---|---|
| Poster | \nA paper print, sent unframed. | \nYou already own a frame, you like to swap prints through the year, or you are filling a small spot such as the coffee corner. | \n
| Wrapped canvas | \nThe print stretched over an inner frame, with nothing in front of the image. Also called a gallery wrap. | \nYou want a piece that goes on the wall as it is, with a soft, unframed edge. | \n
| Framed canvas | \nThe stretched canvas set inside an outer frame. | \nThe print is a gift or the main piece in the room, and you want a finished border around it. | \n
We keep the description of each format short on purpose. The details that differ from one print to the next are listed on each product page, and that is the place to check them before you order. If something you need to know is not there, email us and we will find out for you.
\nOne note on sizes: the size you choose is the size of the print itself. Where a framed piece has outer dimensions that differ from the print size, they are listed on the product page where given.
\nSome prints have text fields on the product page: names, a date, a place, a family name, an “Est.” year. This is the part of the order people worry about most, so the process is deliberately simple.
\nBecause there is no proof step, the read-back line matters. The mistakes we see are small and human: “Est. 2109” where “Est. 2019” was meant, a surname with two letters swapped, a wedding date in the wrong day-and-month order. They are easy to miss in a decorative typeface and easy to catch in plain text.
\nIf you spot a mistake after ordering, email us within 24 hours of placing the order and we can change it. After that window, a personalised print is still covered by the same 60-day, any-reason return as everything else in the store. The Cancel or Change an Order page has the steps.
\nWe do not take photo uploads. Every personalised print is a text design: your words, set into our artwork.
\nEvery design in the shop is our own original artwork. You will not find logos, brand names, sports teams, film or cartoon characters, or anyone else’s artwork here, and we do not add them on request. If you type a text for a personalised print, it should be your own words: your names, your date, your place.
\nWe take the same care with other people’s rights as we ask for our own. If you believe something on this site uses your work without permission, the Intellectual Property Policy and the DMCA page explain how to tell us, and we will look at it.
\nWe would rather give you the numbers once, clearly, than make you search for them. These are the same on every page of this site.

A quick way to use the delivery numbers: add processing and transit together. The shortest case is 1 + 7 = 8 business days. The longest is 3 + 14 = 17 business days, which is about three and a half weeks on a calendar. If the print is for an anniversary or a housewarming, count back 17 business days from the date and order before then.
\nThe return rule is deliberately wide. If the print arrives and the wall colour has changed, the size feels wrong once it is up, or the recipient already owns something similar, you can send it back within 60 days of delivery with a free label. That includes prints with names and dates on them.
\nPrint Nook is an online store. This is our business identity:
\nPrint Nook, 3007 Tabitha Drive, Franklin, TN 37064, US
\nWe answer by email only: support@printnook.shop. We reply within 24 hours on business days. Email keeps your order number, your personalisation text and any photos together in one thread, so nothing has to be repeated.
\nWhen you write, include your order number if you have one, and say which nook the print is for if your question is about size. A sentence such as “84-inch sofa, 9-foot ceiling, thinking about the 36 × 24” lets us give you a useful answer the first time.
\nThe Contact Us page lists what to include for each kind of question. The FAQs answer the things people ask most, and the Help Center points you to the right page for everything else.
\nIf you are here for your own wall, start with a tape measure. Measure the furniture below the spot, take two-thirds, and open the nook that matches: Above the Sofa, Over the Bed, The Entryway, The Stair Landing, The Mantel or The Coffee Corner.
\nIf you are buying a gift and cannot measure the wall, think about the room you have seen. A print for above the couch is a bigger decision than a small one for a shelf, and the 60-day return covers the recipient’s change of mind as well as yours. When in doubt between two sizes, the general advice is to size up: a print slightly too large still looks intended, while one slightly too small looks like a mistake.
\nAnd if you are stuck, write to us. Tell us the spot, the furniture width and the occasion, and we will suggest a size and a format.
