Oblong paintings for the home
When decorating your home with art, it's not just about colors and motifs – it's also about format and proportions . An oblong painting can create a beautiful balance in a room and tie the interior together in an elegant way. That's why horizontal oblong paintings are ideal for several classic places in the home.
How big should the oblong painting be?
One of the most obvious locations for an oblong painting is above the sofa . Here the art can really unfold and act as a visual anchor in the room. Most people choose to hang a large painting above the sofa. It brings the area around the sofa together and creates a cozy environment with lots of atmosphere.

For a regular three-seater sofa , my paintings in 100 x 150 cm. are particularly suitable. The large format 110x180 cm. can also be really nice if you like the painting to dominate a little more.

If you have a smaller sofa or extra low ceilings , paintings 70 x 140 cm work really well.

And next to a large sofa or extra high ceilings, you can benefit from paintings measuring 110 x 180 cm. – here the painting can really lift the room and create an exclusive feeling.
An elongated painting above the sofa follows the line of the sofa without overwhelming it – it creates harmony and calm in the interior.
Horizontal oblong painting above sideboard
Another classic place to hang an oblong painting is above a sideboard – especially if it also has an oblong shape. Here, paintings in 70 x 140 cm. are often perfect, but also 100 x 150 cm. can be used with great effect, especially if the sideboard is in a larger room or has air around it.
The elongated painting in the bedroom
The elongated painting is also well suited above the bed in the bedroom . Here it can help create a calm and coherent atmosphere , and it extends the lines of the bed in a way that provides balance and aesthetics. Choose a size that matches the width of the bed – and think in soft, organic shapes if you want to enhance a dreamy atmosphere.
The elongated format extends the space horizontally. Oblong paintings have a special ability to follow the architecture of the room and create connections between furniture and walls. Many of our furniture such as sofas, sideboards and beds have long lines, which the elongated format fits in nicely with. If you hang several square paintings next to each other, you can get the same effect, but a large elongated painting will create more calm in the interior. Whether it is above the sofa, sideboard or bed, the elongated format can give calm, direction and character to your home.
