You just got your hands on a stunning piece of art. Now for the worst part, trying to figure out how to decorate it can be so stressful. If you stick to smaller dimensions, your artwork can get lost on a wall that is blank for much larger.

If you go too much larger, then your wall item gets over-amped on an entire room and can seem out-of-place.

For these reasons, a 16x20 frame size can be the answer to almost any design question. Read on to find out why this size needs to make an appearance in every room in your home. 

Why Scale Is Everything: The Art of Finding the Perfect Fit 

A Perfectly Sized Fit Fits Any Space 

Interior decorating always has to start with scale. It is so essential that decorators consistently reference what is called scale to craft comfortable, cohesive rooms.

You can learn more about the main style concepts of scale to understand why medium dimensions work so well.

A 16x20 piece offers enough visual weight to be a statement over a small reading nook. Nonetheless, the piece is small enough to integrate easily into a much larger scale layout. 

Easy Size to Find from Art Retailers and Photographers 

Fortunately, this size is incredibly popular among poster shops and photographers, so there are more options available for this size than any others.

You will rarely have to worry about awkward cropping or shelling out the extra bucks to resize to fit. If you need help with understanding size, see our picture frame size cheat sheet to get the lowdown. 

Building a Style That You Can Love 

Putting together your home's decor can become more than an enjoyable exercise in interior design.

We see from hundreds of photo-ready installations that the right frame size makes all the difference.

Try three identical photographs perfectly aligned vertically on a wall. For a more free-form feel, you could even do it in a collage style. If you prefer a modern style, you can swap out traditional glass for acrylic to make the whole piece come alive.
