The wall behind you and the wall in front of you
An office has two walls that count. The one behind your chair shows up on every video call, so pick a print with a strong shape that reads on a small screen, like Lone Rider or the gunslinger on Dodge City. The wall you face all day should be calmer. The sepia puddles in After the Rain or the grayscale butte in Echo Rise give your eyes somewhere quiet to land.

Sizes that fit office furniture
- Over a desk: 18x24 or 20x30, centered on the desk, with the bottom edge 8 to 10 in above the desktop.
- Over a credenza: 18x24 or 20x30, or 24x36 when the wall is tall or the credenza is long.
- Beside a bookshelf or window: 12x18 or 16x20 in a tall print such as Cracked Earth.
- On an open wall with no furniture: hang the center about 57 in from the floor.
Frame colors for a work room
Black with a white mat gives the black and white prints a clean gallery look. Walnut suits dark wood desks and leather chairs, and it draws out the honey and gold in Saddle Ready and Desert Sentinel. Frame color costs nothing extra; a white mat adds $20. Framed pieces ship flat and ready to hang.
Questions and answers
What size art should go above an office desk?
For a standard desk, an 18x24 or 20x30 print looks right. Aim for art about two thirds the width of the desk and hang it 8 to 10 in above the desktop.
What western art looks good behind me on video calls?
Pick bold shapes and strong contrast that still read when the image is small, such as a cowboy profile, a travel poster or a black and white landscape. Keep it centered behind your chair.
