Entryways are narrow and busy: a door that swings, a light switch, hooks, a mirror. Before you choose a size, measure the clear wall you actually have, and the width of any bench or console below it. Portrait prints usually fit here. A slim wall beside the door takes 11 × 14 or 12 × 16 in; above a 30 to 36 inch console or bench, 16 × 20 or 18 × 24 in comes close to the two-thirds-of-the-furniture-width rule. Hang the centre about 57 inches from the floor so it meets the eye as you walk in.
Not sure? Cut a paper template the size of the print and tape it to the wall with painter’s tape for a day. Walk in and out a few times. The Size Guide has a printable layout method and the measurements for every size we offer.
For format, a poster is light and easy to move, wrapped canvas gives a clean edge, and framed canvas adds an outer frame. The pressed fern poster in this nook comes in a hanger frame, which hangs from one point and is easy to straighten.
A family name sign with an Est. year is a classic housewarming gift for an entryway. You type the family name, the year and, if you like, first names, and the page reads it back before you add to cart. We print exactly what you type and send no proof, so read it twice. If you need to fix a typo after ordering, you have 24 hours; see Cancel or Change an Order.
