What size art goes above a console table?
Entry walls are seen from the door, so go a size bolder than feels natural; two thirds of the table is still the target.
| Console table | One print | A pair | A row of three |
|---|---|---|---|
| Narrow console, 36 in | 18×24 (about 25×31 in framed) | 5×7 each | – |
| Console, 48 in | 24×36 (about 32×44 in framed) | 9×12 each | 5×7 each |
| Long console, 60 in | 24×36 (about 32×44 in framed) | 12×16 each | 8×10 each |
How high to hang it
Leave 6 to 10 inches between the tabletop and the frame, a little less if lamps stand on either side.
