40 x 40 cm is the square size that earns its keep in multiples. One on its own is pleasant; two side by side with a hand’s width between them start to look considered; three in a row down a hallway look like somebody planned the room. At £20.00 each that is a realistic way to fill a wall.

The Square Size Built for Grouping

Where a 40 x 40 cm Canvas Works Best

Kitchens and bathrooms, where wall space comes in short runs between cupboards and doors. Above a bedside table. In a pair either side of a window. For a set of three above a sofa, allow about 10 cm between each and the group will span roughly 140 cm, which suits a standard two-seater.

Getting a Group to Look Right

Keep the gaps identical and hang the centre line of the group at eye level, around 145 cm from the floor. Photos with a shared colour cast or a common subject hold together better than a random selection - three from the same afternoon almost always beat three of your favourites.

The Resolution You Will Need

About 2362 x 2362 px, or 5.6 megapixels once cropped square. Bear in mind the crop: a 12 MP phone photo squared off lands near 9 MP, so you have room to spare, but a heavily cropped shot may not.

How It Is Made

Fine-grained canvas printed with solvent-free HP Latex inks, hand-stretched over a 2 cm pine frame with the image carried round the edges so there is no white border. Wipe it with a barely damp cloth when it needs it and leave it alone otherwise.

How This Size Compares

Compared with	How it differs
20x20	A quarter of the area and a shelf object rather than a wall piece.
60x60	Just over twice the area. The point at which one square canvas can hold a wall by itself.
40x30	Same width, 10 cm shorter, 4:3 rather than square. Better for an uncropped phone photo.
