What is the appropriate size for a wall portrait?

In order to achieve maximum impact a portrait or group of portraits should occupy a minimum of 50% of the space available. If the artwork occupies less space the empty space surrounding it becomes the focal point instead. An 8x10 displayed over a piece of furniture, for example, draws attention to the walls instead of to the portrait. When investing in portraits for wall decor remember that this is simply one design element which must relate appropriately to the others in the room. Therefore, size and proportion are just as important considerations as are color and style.
