How to Measure for Sculpture

Before purchasing a sculpture, measure the height, width, and depth of the area where it will be placed. Be sure to consider nearby furniture, walkways, doorways, and architectural features so the piece feels well-proportioned in the space.

If the sculpture will sit on a pedestal, table, console, or shelf, measure that surface as well to ensure there is enough room for the work to sit securely and comfortably. It is also important to review the sculpture’s full dimensions and weight, especially for larger or heavier pieces.

A simple way to visualize placement is to mark out the sculpture’s footprint on the floor or surface with painter’s tape, or use paper cut to size. This can help you better understand how much space the piece will occupy from every angle.

If you are local to Santa Fe or Scottsdale, we are happy to assist with delivery and place the sculpture in your home so you can see how it looks in the space.

How to Measure a Painting for Your Space

Before purchasing a painting, measure the width and height of the wall area where you plan to place it. Also note any nearby furniture, windows, doorways, or architectural features that may affect how the work fits visually.

If the painting will hang above a sofa, bed, console, or mantel, measure the furniture as well. A common design guideline is to choose artwork that is about two-thirds to three-quarters the width of the furniture below it, though this can vary depending on the look you want.

Be sure to review the painting’s full dimensions, including the frame and depth, since these affect how much space the piece will occupy. To help visualize the scale, mark the artwork’s dimensions on the wall with painter’s tape.

When hanging the work, a common starting point is to place the center of the painting around 57 to 60 inches from the floor, adjusting as needed for furniture placement, ceiling height, and the proportions of the room.
