Beyond Foyer Wall Art: Pro Tips
Taken from our expert blog post on the importance of the Feng-Shui theory, consider energy flow when decorating around your new print:
“The entrance to your home is super important when it comes to Feng Shui. Your front door is the main channel for positive energy to enter your space. You should not block the area positioned directly in front of the door, or good energy won’t be able to effortlessly flow in and out. As you open your front door and step inside, your home should have an ample amount of space. You want this area to feel airy and open, so positive energy can fill your entire house.”

Foyer Wall Art: Sizes
Want to hang your artwork above an entryway table or credenza? Follow this paragraph from our Ultimate Wall Art Size Guide:
Wall art that you want to hang over furniture, such as a credenza or bookshelf, should be between 2/3 and 3/4 of the furniture's width. To measure the ideal art size above your furniture, consider this example: If your couch is 6 feet wide, multiply it by 0.66 and 0.75. You need a canvas between 3.96 feet and 4.5 feet wide to fit impressively above any piece of furniture.
For more unconventionally-shaped foyers, this guide to hallway wall art might help you select your canvas size:
IDEAL FOR THE HALLWAY: 36"X75"
Large wall art that measures 36 inches by 75 inches in height and width can create a polished, classic look in your hallway. This wall art size works well in long hallways as well as over your entertainment area.
