Narrow
Narrow wall art solves the problem most standard prints can't: a large, empty wall that swallows anything under-scaled. Every piece here is made in long format, so it fills the width or height of a space properly rather than floating in the middle of it.
Choose horizontal for the wide runs above a sofa, bed or dining table, where an extra wide canvas draws the eye across and settles the whole wall. Choose vertical for tall, narrow spaces - stairwell walls, hallway niches, the gap beside a doorway - where a portrait piece adds height without crowding the room.
Each canvas is printed to order with sharp detail and rich colour, then finished as a stretched canvas or in a hand-assembled floating or classic frame. Available across a range of large sizes, arriving ready to hang.
Narrow wall art - frequently asked questions
Sizing, hanging height and the questions we are asked most.
What counts as narrow wall art?
Narrow wall art is a print made longer than it is deep, but with enough depth to hold a detailed image. This collection comes in three sizes - 16"x32" (40x80cm), 20"x40" (50x100cm) and 30"x60" (75x150cm) - and each can be hung either way: as a wide horizontal above a sofa or bed, or as a tall vertical on a hallway or alcove wall. If you need something slimmer still, our Extra Narrow collection runs to a much longer, leaner shape.
Why does normal wall art look wrong on a large empty wall?
Because it is under-scaled. A standard print sized for a hallway looks like a postage stamp on a wall above a three-seater sofa - the eye reads the empty space around it rather than the picture. Filling roughly two-thirds of the available width or height fixes it, which on a long wall usually means a narrow, elongated format rather than a bigger square.
What is the biggest narrow wall art you can get?
In this collection, 30"x60" (75x150cm) - five feet across hung horizontally, or five feet tall hung vertically, with real depth to it. Below that are 20"x40" (50x100cm) and 16"x32" (40x80cm). If you want something longer and leaner instead, the Extra Narrow collection goes up to 24"x72" (60x180cm), which is six feet on the long side.
Can narrow wall art work in a large room?
Yes - scale it up rather than adding more pieces. A single 30"x60" (75x150cm) canvas holds a large wall better than a cluster of medium frames, because one long horizontal line gives the room a clear anchor, and the extra depth of this collection's sizes carries across a big room. In a large open-plan space, use one horizontal above the sofa and one vertical on a nearby pillar or alcove so the two relate without matching.
How much wall space should you leave around narrow wall art?
Leave roughly 4-6in (10-15cm) of clear wall at each end of the piece, and more above and below than you think you need. Narrow formats depend on the empty space around them to read as deliberate; crowd them right up to a corner or a light switch and the balance stops working.

Let customers speak for us
Excellent service, picture looks amazing and arrived very quickly and was very well packaged. Easy to install on the wall and looks superb..
Lovely picture, great quality and supernatural delivered. Would definitely recommend
Beautiful picture for a narrow wall. The colors are prettier in person.
We received our print in a timely manner. Upon unpacking, we noticed a bulge in the canvas and some lines in the canvas and imprint from the wood that goes across in the back. I reached out and the company sent another one that came perfect. It is now displayed in our foyer and looks great!
Beautiful, just as I wanted, excellent framing and a swift delivery
The perfect statement piece. The graceful heron, soft neutral palette, and walnut floating frame brought warmth and serenity to our dining room. It feels elegant, timeless, and collected rather than trendy. The quality is exceptional and the artwork looks even more beautiful in person than online. I love it so much, that I’m going to order another!
I’m over the moon with my beautiful Sunset wall art. It finishes off my hallway and has received so many compliments from visitors.
Second piece bought now and both are great. Exactly as described and very well packaged for transit.
I love the quality and styling of the print, I was unsure about buying something so big without seeing it but I am very happy with the product. The colours are true to the image and the effect with the floating frame is perfect. I would buy again from Atelier, I trust the product and delivery was quick considering it was a specific design, size and frame.
I bought the 30 x 90 canvas with a floating canvas frame in the colour wood and I couldn't be happier with it. Great quality, well packaged. Highly recommend.
This artwork brought just the right look to my entry that I was trying to achieve. It’s beautiful and calming and in a beautiful quality frame.
Better than presented online. We love it. Super high quality framing and hardware.
Beautiful artwork! So impressed with the quality, it looks absolutely stunning.
