Choosing the wrong size photo frame is one of the most common decor mistakes. A frame that's too small gets lost on a large wall. One that's too big can overwhelm a small space.
Getting the size right is the difference between a wall that feels curated and one that feels cluttered. Here's everything you need to know.
At Decorior, we primarily offer frames in the following sizes:
| Size | Dimensions | Best For |
|------|-----------|----------|
| A5 | 14.8 × 21 cm | Desk display, small gifts, bedside table |
| A4 | 21 × 29.7 cm | Home walls, office decor, standard gifting |
| A3 | 29.7 × 42 cm | Feature walls, statement piece, large photos |
| A2 | 42 × 59.4 cm | Living room walls, gallery walls, bold displays |
For a single photo on a standard bedroom or living room wall, A3 is usually the sweet spot. It's large enough to be noticed without dominating the space.
If you're hanging it in a hallway or a compact room, A4 works well — especially for portrait-orientation photos.
If you're creating a gallery wall with 4–6 frames, mix sizes:
These spots are often underestimated. A single A2 frame — or a set of three A3 frames side by side — works beautifully as a headboard alternative or a living room centrepiece.
When gifting a photo frame, the occasion usually determines the size:
A4 is the most universally appreciated gifting size — it's not too large to be impractical and not too small to feel underwhelming.
Most of our frames support both orientations. As a rule of thumb:
When in doubt, upload your photo in our customiser — it will automatically fit the frame and let you adjust the zoom and crop.
Our customiser shows you a preview of your photo in the chosen frame before you order. You can switch between sizes to see what looks best — no commitment until you add to cart.
