This is one of the most popular question we get from our readers, so I thought I’d share it on our blog to help out others who have trouble figuring out what size of art is appropriate for their wall space.

Dorm rooms are tricky to decorate since you can’t hammer anything on the walls, but most students want to make their space "their own" by putting up plenty of cool posters. The solution is to use painter’s tape or another low adhesive tape that peels off easily without damaging the walls or wrecking your posters. Use a different color of tape to enhance each piece you’re hanging or use the same color throughout. Tape all the corners like we did here, or frame the whole piece with tape to create a faux frame. There are no rules, so have fun with it.

If you're not sure whether a piece of artwork is the right size for your wall space, map it out with Painter's Tape just like we did here. This will help you visualize and instantly confirm if the dimensions are right. It's easy to do and you'll be amazed at how well it works.
