What size art goes above a desk?
Art above a desk is seen from close up and on every video call, so a medium piece reads better than a huge one.
| Desk | One print | A pair | A row of three |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small desk, 40 in | 20×30 (about 28×38 in framed) | 8×10 each | – |
| Desk, 48 in | 24×36 (about 32×44 in framed) | 9×12 each | 5×7 each |
| Large desk, 60 in | 24×36 (about 32×44 in framed) | 12×16 each | 8×10 each |
How high to hang it
Hang it 10 to 12 inches above the desk so it sits at eye level when seated and stays in frame on calls.
