Square Wall Art

Square Wall Art

Square wall art has four equal sides, so a piece is as tall as it is wide. This collection holds the pieces that come in that one-to-one shape, from calligraphy medallions and mandalas to flowers, lakes and city skylines, in sizes from 8 x 8 to 48 x 48 inches. Nearly every piece here comes in that shape.

A Square Over A Sofa Or Bed

Over a 72 inch sofa, a 48 x 48 inch square covers about 67 percent of the width, inside the two thirds to three quarters that ties a picture to the seat below. The square rises as far as it spreads, so it needs a wall with room above the cushions. Bachalpsee Mountain Reflection and Autumn Forest Waterfall fill a square of that size with a calm view.

Square Art On An Entry Console

An entry console is a short stretch of wall, and a square fits it without crowding the ceiling. Above a 36 inch console, a 24 x 24 inch square covers about 67 percent of the width. Avenue of Cypress Trees and Bare Tree in Winter are two upright subjects that sit well in the shape. Hang the bottom edge 6 to 8 inches above the tabletop.

A Small Square Above A Dresser Or Nightstand

A dresser or nightstand wall wants something compact. Over a 30 inch dresser, a 20 x 20 inch square covers about 67 percent of the width, and on a 40 inch desk a 27 x 27 inch square covers about 68 percent. Dahlia Macro Portrait and Blue Wildflower Close-up are close-up flowers that read well at those sizes, even from across a bedroom.

Choosing A Square For A Sideboard Wall

A sideboard or buffet in a dining room takes the biggest square the wall allows. Over a 48 inch sideboard, a 36 x 36 inch square covers 75 percent of the width, the top of the range. Boston Skyline at Sunset and Baltimore Inner Harbor Skyline give the dining wall a city view. Keep the center 57 to 60 inches from the floor when there is no furniture to measure from.

Every Square Size From Shelf To Stairwell

Square pieces come in sides of 8, 12, 14, 16, 20, 24, 27, 36 and 48 inches. The small ones suit a shelf, a bathroom or a narrow wall, the middle ones a dresser, console or hall, and the largest a sofa, a bed or a sideboard.

For walls that need a 60 inch picture, the large wall art collection has them in other shapes.

Grouping Several Square Pieces On One Wall

Squares line up cleanly because every edge matches. Three separate pieces 24 inches on a side, with 3 inch gaps, span 78 inches, about 72 percent of a 108 inch sectional. Each piece is bought on its own, so you can start with one and add the others later. Cut paper squares, tape them up and move them before you drive a nail.

How A Square Compares With The Other Three Shapes

A landscape is about one and a half times as wide as it is tall, a portrait is twice as tall as wide, and a panoramic is three times as wide as tall. A square sits between them: it suits walls too tight for a long picture and too short for a tall one. For tall pictures see vertical wall art, and for long ones panoramic wall art.

Mandalas And Medallions That Come In Square

A circle or a radial pattern fits a square without cropping, which is why mandala wall art comes in this shape. Dahlia Mandala, Cherry Mosaic Mandala, Colorful Sun Mandala and Beaded Kaleidoscope Mandala are four. Arabic and Islamic medallions do the same, such as Al-basir Arabic Calligraphy in Gold, with more in the Islamic calligraphy wall art collection.

Flowers And Landscapes In Square

Centered subjects hold a square well. Dew-kissed Red Rose Closeup, Blue Hibiscus Botanical Pattern and Cornflower Mandala Kaleidoscope are flowers that sit in the middle of the frame, with more in the flower wall art collection. Abstract Splatter Tree and Balanced Palm Leaf Abstract bring branches and fronds into a modern shape.

How Each Piece Is Made

Each piece is printed after you order it and ships from within your region. A Canvas Print is museum-quality canvas with archival inks, stretched over a solid wooden inner frame, and a Framed Canvas sets that canvas in a frame. Shipping is free, delivery takes 8 to 10 business days from the day you order, and you can return a piece within 30 days of delivery.

Common Questions

Is There Square Metal Or Wood Wall Art?

No. Every piece is a printed picture on canvas or paper, not cut metal, carved wood or a mirror. Black Marble with Gold Veins names gold, but the gold is part of the picture, printed flat. If you want a square with a metallic look, a gold or marble pattern gives it.

Is There A Square Poster Print?

Yes. The Poster Print arrives unframed and is usually the lowest starting price in any size. It is not ready to hang, so plan for a frame, and buy a square frame that matches the size you order. Canvas and framed pieces arrive ready to hang, and every size and price shows on the product page.

Is There Square Abstract Wall Art?

Yes, several titles name it. Abstract Maple Leaves, Blue Watercolor Floral Abstraction and Black Fire Marble Abstract are three. Abstract Maple Leaves also comes in a landscape shape. Open the product page to see the whole picture before you choose a size, since the shapes offered vary by piece.

What Are Good Square Painting Ideas?

Painted styles named in the titles are a good start: Blue Meadow Watercolor Floral, Christmas Poinsettia Watercolor and Coastal Floral Watercolor Seascape. A flower, a leaf or a single tree fills a square with one clear subject. These are prints of painted pictures, so the brush look is part of the picture and the surface is flat.

Is There Small Square Wall Art?

Yes. The Square shape starts at 8 x 8 inches, small enough for a shelf, a bathroom wall or the space beside a door. Small squares work well in a row of several pieces, each bought on its own, and a Poster Print is usually the lowest starting price at the smallest size.
