We print four square canvases: 20 x 20, 40 x 40, 60 x 60 and 80 x 80 cm. They exist because square is now the shape most photos are shared in, and because square hangs differently from rectangular - it pulls the eye to the centre of a wall instead of leading it across. Prices start at £4.50 and every size is built the same way.
On a shelf or a desk, 20 x 20 cm. In a group of two or three on a kitchen or hallway wall, 40 x 40 cm. Above a sideboard or a chest of drawers as the only thing on that wall, 60 x 60 cm. Over a bed or a fireplace where you want the wall to have a focal point, 80 x 80 cm.
Anything you cropped square for Instagram goes onto a square canvas untouched, which is not true of any other shape we sell. Put that same photo on a 3:2 canvas and you either lose the sides or end up with the subject off-centre.
Squares group more easily than rectangles because there is no orientation to reconcile. Keep the gaps equal - 5 cm for 20 x 20 cm, around 10 cm for 40 x 40 cm - and hang the centre line of the whole group at about 145 cm from the floor rather than centring each canvas individually.
This is the one thing that catches people out with squares. Cropping a 4:3 photo to 1:1 throws away a quarter of it, and a 3:2 photo loses a third. Check the pixel dimensions of the cropped version, not the original - our uploader does this for you and flags anything that will not hold up.
| Compared with | How it differs |
|---|---|
| 20x20 vs 40x40 | Four times the area for £15.50 more. 20x20 is a shelf object, 40x40 is a wall piece in a group. |
| 40x40 vs 60x60 | Just over twice the area. 60x60 is the smallest square that carries a wall by itself. |
| 60x60 vs 80x80 | 1.8 times the area for £12 more, and the largest square we make. |
If your photo is landscape rather than square, the 40x30 and 60x40 formats are the ones to look at. Prefer to browse the whole range before you commit? Every format, edge design and frame option is on our canvas prints page.
