Panoramic Wall Art

Panoramic Wall Art

Panoramic wall art is a long, low picture three times as wide as it is tall, like 48 x 16 inches. Every piece on this page comes in that shape, with skylines, mountain ranges, coastlines, lakes, deserts and abstracts among the subjects, so you can start from the wall that needs a long picture.

The Five Sizes In The Panoramic Shape

The run is 24 x 8, 30 x 10, 36 x 12, 48 x 16 and 60 x 20 inches, always width by height. The height stays low even at the top of the run: the largest size is five feet wide and only about twenty inches tall. That is why a panoramic picture fits places where a standard landscape would crowd the wall around it.

Panoramic Art Above A Long Sofa

A sofa is the usual place for a long picture. Over a 90 inch sofa, a 60 x 20 inch panoramic covers about 67 percent of the width. Boston Harbor Night Skyline and Bangkok Skyline at Blue Hour are two city views that stretch across a sofa this way, and the city skyline wall art collection has more cities.

A Panoramic Picture Over A Bed

The space above a headboard is wide and shallow, which is the shape this picture has. Over a headboard 66 inches wide, a 48 x 16 inch panoramic covers about 73 percent. Aoraki Reflection Over Lake Pukaki and Abraham Lake Reflections are calm water views for a bedroom, and the lake wall art collection holds many more.

Hallway Consoles And Entry Tables

A console table in a hall is narrow and often has a lamp at one end, so a low picture leaves room above it. On a console 42 inches wide, a 30 x 10 inch panoramic covers about 71 percent. Cannon Beach Morning Shoreline and Big Sur Coastal Road suit an entry, with more shorelines in the ocean and beach wall art collection.

Narrow Strips Above Doors And Windows

The wall over a doorway is a strip with little height, and a panoramic picture is made for it. Above a doorway 34 inches wide, a 24 x 8 inch panoramic covers about 71 percent and stays clear of the frame. Barskoon Mountain Range and Altay Mountains with Golden Larches are two ranges that keep their length in this size.

Behind A Desk Or Along A Counter

A desk or a kitchen counter has a flat wall behind it and a shelf or cabinet not far above. Over a desk 50 inches wide, a 36 x 12 inch panoramic covers about 72 percent. Golden Hour Desert Dunes and Abu Dhabi Desert Dunes give a home office a long horizon line to look up at.

Abstract Panoramic Wall Art For A Sideboard

An abstract has no horizon to line up, so it works over a dining sideboard or a buffet. Above a sideboard 72 inches wide, a 48 x 16 inch panoramic covers about 67 percent. Blue Rush Abstract and Golden Vortex Abstract are two choices, and Gold Foil Marble Abstract and Flowing River Abstract in Orange and Teal are two more.

How Panoramic Compares With The Other Three Shapes

Panoramic is three times as wide as tall, Landscape is 3 to 2, Square has equal sides and Portrait is twice as tall as wide. Pick panoramic when the wall is long and the space above the furniture is short. Go to the vertical wall art collection for a narrow wall, to square wall art for equal sides, and to large wall art where the wall is tall as well as wide.

Hanging A Long Picture Level

Mark the center 57 to 60 inches from the floor on an open wall, or 6 to 8 inches above furniture. Cut paper to the size you plan to order and tape it up for a day. A long picture shows a tilt more than a small one does, so check the top edge with a level before you drive the nail.

How Each Piece Is Made

Each piece is printed after you order it and ships from within your region. A Canvas Print is museum-quality canvas with archival inks, stretched over a solid wooden inner frame, and ready to hang. Shipping is free, delivery takes 8 to 10 business days from the day you order, and you can return a piece within 30 days of delivery.

Common Questions

What Is A Long Horizontal Painting Called?

A long horizontal picture is called a panorama, and in wall art it means a shape about three times wider than it is tall. A standard landscape is much closer to square. The pictures on this page are all in the panoramic shape, so they hang as one long band across the wall.

How Do You Decorate A 20 Ft Long Wall?

Divide the wall by the furniture along it and give each group its own picture. A sofa, a console and a doorway each take one panoramic piece sized to the furniture below, with a few feet of bare wall between them. Several separate pieces, each bought on its own, fill a long wall better than one picture stretched across it.

What Is The 2/3 Rule For Wall Art?

The 2/3 rule says a picture should cover about two thirds to three quarters of the width of the furniture below it. Measure the sofa, bed or table, multiply by 0.66 and by 0.75, and choose the size between those numbers. A picture narrower than that looks lost, and a wider one crowds the corners of the wall.

Can You Hang Panoramic Wall Art Vertically?

You can turn a panoramic piece on its side, but the picture is composed to run left to right, so a skyline or a coastline ends up on its side. For a tall, narrow wall, choose a piece in the Portrait shape instead, which is built tall from the start and keeps the scene upright.

Is There Black And White Panoramic Wall Art?

Some titles carry the color in the name, such as Lake Mcdonald Monochrome Reflection, a one-color view of a lake. For a quiet wall, look for monochrome or silhouette in the title, as in Amsterdam Skyline Silhouette. Open the product page to see the whole picture before you choose a size.
