Phone photos on A2

Gallery wall layouts around an A2
With a 6 cm gap everywhere, measured on the paper. Add the width of your frames.
| Layout | Pieces | Total size | Fits above |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trio in a row | A3, A2, A3, all portrait, centres on one line | about 113 × 59 cm | A sofa of 1.7 m or more, a double bed |
| Anchor and stack | A2 portrait, two A3 landscape stacked beside it | about 90 × 65 cm | A desk or sideboard of 1.2-1.4 m |
| Anchor and grid | A2 portrait, four A4 portrait in a 2 × 2 grid beside it | about 96 × 65 cm | A desk or sideboard of 1.4 m |
| Pair | Two A2 portrait side by side | about 90 × 59 cm | A single bed, a 1.4 m sideboard |
| Column | A2 portrait above an A3 landscape | about 42 × 95 cm | A narrow wall beside a door or window |
Two stacked A3s with a gap are 6 cm taller than the A2, so centre them on it instead of lining up the tops. Lay everything out on the floor first, or tape paper templates to the wall.
Hanging an A2
Above a desk or bed
Leave 20 to 30 cm between the bottom of the frame and the furniture. Above a desk, a landscape A2 often fits better.
On an open wall
Hang the middle of the poster, or of the whole group, about 150 cm from the floor.
Mixing sizes
A3 and A4 have the same shape as A2. Add A3 posters in the same black frame for a matching set.
A2 or A1?
A1 is twice the area, and A1 frames are big and heavy. For a wall under a metre wide, or a poster framed in one order, choose A2.
