Finding the right modern wall art decor comes down to one big tradeoff: framed canvas prints offer color and warmth but stay flat, while metal wall sculptures add depth and texture but cost more and limit your palette. After comparing nine popular options across materials, size coverage, and style versatility, the 3D Large Framed Brown Abstract Wall Art (3-piece, 24×36) earns the top spot for combining dimensional texture with gallery-scale impact at a mid-range price. Budget-conscious buyers should look at the Cuspin Abstract Metal Wall Art Set of 4, which covers a full wall for less than most two-piece sets, while the GUSFREUD 3D Hummingbird Set stands apart as the most sculptural, statement-driven option. The rest of this guide breaks down each pick, who it suits, and who should skip it.
Complete the kit
Key Takeaways
- Metal wall art dominated the value rankings: four of the nine options are metal sets, and they consistently deliver more wall coverage per dollar than framed canvas alternatives.
- The top pick won on dimensionality — textured or 3D pieces (the brown abstract triptych and the GUSFREUD hummingbirds) read as far more expensive than flat prints at similar prices.
- Sets of 3 and 4 beat sets of 2 for filling large walls; the Cuspin and Glamativity four-packs covered roughly twice the area of the two-piece options while costing less overall.
- Neutral abstracts were the safest style bet across the lineup — pieces in black, beige, and gold tones matched the widest range of interiors, while the vintage brass hummingbirds demanded a more specific aesthetic.
- The main drawback pattern across metal picks: mounting hardware quality varied widely, and nearly every set required additional anchors for drywall installation.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Large Framed Neutral Abstract Wall Art for Living Room Set of 2, 24×36 Inches
Among the canvas options in this lineup, this two-piece set delivers the strongest size-to-impact ratio for the money. While the 3-piece Framed Modern Minimalist set offers more panels, the larger 24×36 inch dimensions here fill a sofa wall or entryway with fewer pieces and less layout guesswork. The waterproof canvas and rust-proof frames translate to a piece that won’t warp in humid hallways, a real advantage over unframed options like the GUSFREUD hummingbirds. The tradeoff is honest: the palette is strictly neutral, so anyone hoping for a pop of color will be disappointed, and the two-panel format is less flexible than the three smaller panels in the Oakrain metal set when decorating an awkward or fragmented wall.
Pros:- Gallery-scale 24×36 inch panels create immediate visual impact
- Waterproof canvas with rust-proof frames holds up in humid rooms
- Ready-to-mount frames make installation simple
- Neutral black, beige, white, and gray palette suits most decor schemes
Cons:- Strictly neutral color options leave no room for bold accents
- Two oversized panels are hard to fit in small or fragmented spaces
- Frames add bulk that fights against ultra-minimal styling
Best for: Homeowners styling a large living room or dining room wall who want bold, gallery-scale impact with minimal effort
Not ideal for: Renters or anyone with small apartments — two 24×36 inch panels will overwhelm a compact space
- Size:24×36 inches
- Set Includes:2 pieces
- Material:Waterproof canvas
- Frame Material:Rust-proof frame
- Color Scheme:Black, beige, white, gray
- Style:Minimalist, abstract
- Features:Durable, fade resistant, lightweight, wall mountable
Our verdict“Buy this set if you have one big wall that needs a finished, designer look in a single purchase.”
Oakrain 3 Pack Metal Wall Art – Abstract Minimalist Modern Wall Decor
Most entries in this roundup are flat canvas prints, and that’s exactly where the Oakrain set differentiates itself: real metal and solid wood construction gives these panels genuine dimension and a tactile quality no printed canvas can match. The abstract planetary motif reads as intentional sculpture rather than reproduced art, which pairs well with the single-line metal pieces from Glamativity elsewhere in this guide. Compared with the Framed Minimalist canvas trio, these are smaller at 11.8 x 15.7 inches each, so they work better as accents above a console or bed rather than as the centerpiece of a large wall. The monochrome black finish is elegant but rigid — if your room runs warm or colorful, this set will feel out of place.
Pros:- Genuine metal and solid wood materials add real texture and depth
- Distinctive planetary design stands apart from standard canvas prints
- Three-piece format allows flexible arrangement across a wall or room
- Pre-installed hooks make hanging straightforward
Cons:- Available only in black, limiting palette flexibility
- Abstract modern look clashes with traditional or farmhouse interiors
- Panels are small relative to the oversized canvas sets in this lineup
Best for: Buyers who want dimensional, sculptural wall decor for an entryway, office, or reading nook
Not ideal for: Anyone covering a large statement wall — three small panels will read as sparse at that scale
- Material:Metal and natural solid wood
- Number of Pieces:3
- Dimensions:11.8 x 15.7 x 0.47 inches each
- Design:Abstract planetary motif
- Color:Black
- Orientation:Landscape
- Room Type:Living room, bedroom, entryway, office
Our verdict“This is the pick for shoppers who want their wall decor to have physical presence rather than printed polish.”
Framed Modern Minimalist Neutral Abstract Wall Art, Set of 3, Each 16×24 Inches
For shoppers who want a cohesive triptych without overspending, this set is the most balanced proposition here. The 16×24 inch panels hit a middle ground the other canvas options miss: larger and more substantial than the Oakrain metal panels, yet far easier to place than the hulking 24×36 inch canvases in the Large Framed Neutral set. A three-panel layout naturally fills a hallway or bedroom wall without demanding a huge empty stretch, and the waterproof, fade-resistant canvas means the black-and-beige palette won’t wash out within a year. The honest tradeoff is ambition — this set plays it safe designwise, and buyers wanting texture or dimension should step up to the 3D Brown Abstract set instead.
Pros:- Well-priced three-piece set creates a cohesive gallery arrangement
- Mid-size 16×24 inch panels fit rooms where larger sets won’t
- Waterproof, fade-resistant canvas maintains color over time
- Sturdy pre-framed panels hang immediately out of the box
Cons:- Neutral-only palette limits styling options
- Flat canvas lacks the dimensional appeal of metal or 3D alternatives
- Abstract geometry may feel generic compared with more distinctive designs
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers furnishing a bedroom, hallway, or office who want a polished triptych look
Not ideal for: Designers seeking a statement piece — the safe abstract design won’t anchor a room the way larger textured art does
- Set Includes:3 pieces
- Size:16×24 inches each
- Material:Waterproof canvas
- Frame:Yes
- Color Family:Black, Beige
- Style:Minimalist, Modern
- Features:Durable, fade resistant, waterproof
Our verdict“The smart default for a mid-size wall where you want maximum polish per dollar spent.”
3D Large Framed Brown Abstract Wall Art for Living Room, 3-Piece 24×36 Inches
This is the most ambitious set in the batch, and it earns that status through hand-applied textured pigment that gives each panel genuine relief and shadow — something flat canvas prints like the Framed Minimalist trio simply cannot replicate. At three panels of 24×36 inches each, it’s also the largest total footprint in this lineup, built to anchor an entire living room wall. The black, white, and brown palette skews warmer than the cooler gray tones of the Large Framed Neutral set, making it the better match for wood-heavy or earthy interiors. Buyers should accept two realities: handcrafting means subtle variations between panels, and the sheer scale demands a wall big enough to hold roughly 72 x 36 inches of art.
Pros:- Hand-applied 3D texture creates depth no printed canvas offers
- Massive three-panel footprint commands a large wall
- Warm brown-infused palette complements earthy, wood-toned interiors
- Panels can be grouped or split across multiple rooms
Cons:- Handcrafted process produces subtle tone variations between panels
- Colors may differ from what screens display
- Total footprint requires a genuinely large wall to work
Best for: Homeowners with a spacious living room or open-plan area who want handcrafted texture as a room centerpiece
Not ideal for: Small-space dwellers or strict minimalists — the scale and heavy texture will dominate compact or ultra-clean interiors
- Size:24×36 inches each
- Number of Pieces:3
- Material:Lightweight multi-layered boards with hand-applied texture
- Frame Type:Solid wood frames
- Color:Black, White, Brown
- Theme:Abstract
- Features:Durable, fade resistant, lightweight, rust resistant
Our verdict“Worth the premium if your space and budget support large, textured art — skip it if your walls are small.”
GUSFREUD 3D Hummingbird Wall Decor Set – Vintage Gold Brass Resin Bird Wall Art – Set of 3
Every other pick in this lineup leans cool and geometric, and that’s precisely why the GUSFREUD hummingbirds earn their slot: the vintage gold finish and Art Deco styling bring warmth and personality that black-and-beige abstracts can’t. The lifelike 3D resin forms stand apart from flat wall prints and even from the geometric metal work of the Cuspin or OYEFLY sets, making this the choice for readers whose interiors lean eclectic, bohemian, or traditional. Because the pieces are unframed sculptural objects, they can be scattered creatively — flanking a mirror or trailing up a staircase — where a rigid triptych like the Framed Minimalist set would look stiff. The catch is mounting: lightweight resin often needs extra adhesive or nails for a truly secure hold, and these are indoor-only pieces.
Pros:- Lifelike 3D hummingbird detailing adds organic charm
- Vintage gold finish warms up spaces dominated by neutral decor
- Unframed pieces allow freeform placement beyond rigid grid layouts
- Lightweight, water-resistant resin is easy to handle and durable
Cons:- May need supplemental adhesive or nails for secure mounting
- Not suitable for outdoor use in harsh weather
- Ornamental style conflicts with modern minimalist interiors
Best for: Buyers styling warm, eclectic, or vintage-inspired rooms who want sculptural accent pieces rather than framed panels
Not ideal for: Devotees of stark minimalist or industrial decor — the gold ornamental birds will clash with that aesthetic
- Material:Resin with vintage gold finish
- Number of Pieces:3
- Design:3D hummingbird, Art Deco style
- Color:Vintage Gold
- Frame Type:Unframed
- Mounting Type:Wall mount
- Room Type:Bathroom, bedroom, dining room, hallway, library
- Features:Durable, lightweight, rust resistant, water resistant
Our verdict“Choose this set when your room needs warmth and character rather than another neutral abstract panel.”
OYEFLY 2 Pcs Metal Abstract Wall Art, Modern Geometric Decor (Black, Style 1)
Most two-piece sets in this roundup play it safe, but OYEFLY’s geometric duo goes bolder with larger sculptural forms that read as hanging art rather than flat panels. Compared with the Glamativity 4-pack, this set trades quantity for presence — two pieces that anchor a wall instead of filling it with smaller accents. The black metal finish suits contemporary and industrial interiors, and the included screws make mounting straightforward. The honest tradeoff: the seller lists the size only as “as shown,” which is a real gamble when you’re planning a gallery wall or fitting a specific alcove. Unlike the CroBlissful wood panels, there’s no stated weather resistance either, so this stays an indoor-only piece despite the metal build.
Pros:- Bold two-piece design creates a stronger focal point than smaller multi-packs
- Includes mounting screws for easy installation
- Works across living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and offices
- Metal construction gives a genuine sculptural presence
Cons:- Vague “as shown” size listing makes planning wall placement risky
- No weather resistance, limiting it to indoor use despite the metal build
Best for: Renters and homeowners who want one bold sculptural focal point over a sofa or console without hanging four or five separate pieces
Not ideal for: Traditional or ornate interiors — the sharp abstract geometry will clash with classic wood-and-florals styling
- Material:Metal
- Color:Black
- Style:Modern abstract geometric
- Pieces:2
- Orientation:Landscape
- Mounting Type:Wall mount (screws included)
- Frame Type:Unframed
- Indoor/Outdoor:Indoor
Our verdict“Buy this if you want maximum visual impact from just two pieces — but measure your wall expectations carefully given the unclear dimensions.”
Glamativity 4 Pack Black Abstract Metal Wall Art, Minimalist Single Line Art Wall Decor
If coverage-per-dollar is the goal, Glamativity’s four-pack wins on arithmetic alone: four full-metal sculptures at 16 x 11 inches each, with hollow-out 3D textures that cast shadow patterns flat prints can’t replicate. Against the similarly sized Cuspin set, the advantage is that playful single-line minimalism — it reads lighter and airier, better for smaller rooms where Cuspin’s long horizontal panels might feel heavy. The shadow effect does the decorating work for you, shifting subtly through the day as light changes. The catch is scale: 16 x 11 inches is modest, so on a large empty wall these can look scattered unless you cluster them tightly or pair them with other pieces. Black-only styling also narrows palette options compared with the warmer GUSFREUD brass set elsewhere in this roundup.
Pros:- Four pieces at a lower per-piece cost than most rivals
- Hollow-out 3D design creates real shadow depth
- Full metal construction feels durable and premium
- Screws included for simple installation
Cons:- Black-only palette limits color coordination
- Individual size is small for large wall areas
- Requires multiple anchor points for a full four-piece install
Best for: Apartment dwellers styling a gallery wall or long hallway who want several coordinated pieces without paying per-piece prices
Not ideal for: Owners of oversized great-room walls — four mid-size panels will get visually lost without additional decor
- Size:16 x 11 inches each
- Quantity:4 pieces
- Material:Full real metal
- Design:Hollow-out, 3D textured minimalist line art
- Color:Black
- Mounting:Wall mount with included screws
- Room Types:Living room, bedroom, bathroom, study, office
Our verdict“The smartest pick for filling multiple spaces on a budget, as long as your walls are apartment-scale rather than cavernous.”
Cuspin Abstract Metal Wall Art Set of 4 – Modern Black Geometric Decor
Cuspin’s elongated 22.5 x 7.5-inch panels solve a problem the other metal sets here don’t address: horizontal space. Hung in a row above a sideboard or bed headboard, they create a clean linear rhythm that the squarer Glamativity pieces can’t match. The layered geometric design adds depth without clutter, and the lightweight metal with pre-drilled holes makes a four-piece install genuinely manageable solo. The frustration is arrangement freedom without guidance — no layout instructions come in the box, so expect some trial and error (and extra nail holes) before you land on a spacing you like. Compared with the OYEFLY pair, you get more design flexibility but less individual drama per piece. Black-only, indoor-only, like most of this category.
Pros:- Elongated panels suit horizontal walls other sets can’t fill
- Lightweight with pre-drilled holes for easy hanging
- Layered geometric design adds depth and visual interest
- Flexible multi-piece arrangements for personalized layouts
Cons:- No layout instructions, complicating a four-piece arrangement
- Black-only colorway restricts palette matching
- Minimalist style clashes with traditional interiors
Best for: Anyone decorating a long horizontal stretch — above a sofa, bed, or credenza — who enjoys customizing the layout
Not ideal for: First-time hangrs who want turnkey placement — the lack of arrangement guidance turns installation into guesswork
- Size:22.5 x 7.5 inches each
- Number of Pieces:4
- Material:Metal
- Color:Black
- Design Style:Abstract, geometric, modern
- Mounting Type:Wall mount, pre-drilled holes
- Frame Type:Unframed
- Indoor/Outdoor:Indoor
Our verdict“The layout-tinkerer’s choice — ideal for long walls if you’re willing to experiment with spacing yourself.”
CroBlissful 2pcs Mid Century Modern Wall Art Geometric Wall Decor, Black
Everything else in this metal-heavy category leans sharp and contemporary; CroBlissful’s wood panels bring a warmer, mid-century modern sensibility that pairs with walnut furniture and tapered-leg pieces the geometric metal sets would fight against. The compact 15.75 x 5.24-inch framed panels install with simple hooks — no screw anchors like the OYEFLY or Cuspin mounts — which makes them a low-commitment pick for renters. Tradeoffs are real: these are the smallest pieces in the metal-and-sculpture group, so they function as accents rather than focal points, and buyers should verify dimensions against their wall before ordering. If your room runs Scandi, retro, or Japandi, though, warm wood beats cold black steel every time.
Pros:- Authentic mid-century aesthetic that metal sets can’t replicate
- Wood construction adds warmth to neutral interiors
- Hook-based installation is renter-friendly and quick
- Framed design gives a more finished look than unframed metal
Cons:- Small footprint limits use as a focal point
- Black-only option despite the wood build
- Dimensions need careful checking before purchase
Best for: Mid-century or Scandinavian-styled rooms where warm wood tones matter more than sculptural metal impact
Not ideal for: Large feature walls needing a statement piece — at under 16 inches wide per panel, these disappear on big spaces
- Approx. Dimensions:15.75 x 5.24 inches each
- Material:Wood
- Style:Mid century modern, retro
- Color:Black
- Pieces:2
- Frame Type:Framed
- Mounting Type:Wall mount with hooks
- Orientation:Landscape
- Indoor/Outdoor:Indoor
Our verdict“A niche but smart pick for retro-styled rooms, provided you treat it as accent decor rather than the main event.”
How We Picked
I evaluated each option against four buyer-relevant criteria. Visual impact per square foot came first — how much wall a set actually covers and whether the piece reads as a focal point or background filler. Material quality and dimensionality came second, since flat canvas prints and 3D metal sculptures occupy different tiers of perceived quality even at the same price. Versatility ranked third: pieces in neutral palettes that work across living rooms, bedrooms, and offices scored higher than style-specific designs. Finally, I weighed value — total cost relative to coverage area, framing quality, and whether hardware was included.
The ranking logic follows a simple principle: pieces that combine dimensional texture with broad style compatibility rank highest, purely decorative flat prints fill the middle, and niche or limited-flexibility options sit lower regardless of quality. Sets that solve the large-wall problem for less money also earned a boost, because empty wall coverage is the number one reason buyers shop this category.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Modern Wall Art Decor
Before choosing a specific piece, it helps to understand the broader decisions that shape how happy you’ll be with modern wall art months after hanging it. These are the factors that separated the winners from the near-misses in this comparison.Flat Prints vs. Dimensional Sculptures
The single biggest fork in this category is depth. Framed canvas prints bring color, gradients, and painterly texture that metal simply cannot replicate, and they suit rooms that already lean soft and warm. Metal and resin sculptures, on the other hand, interact with light throughout the day — shadows shift, finishes catch the eye, and the wall gains a physical presence. A common mistake is expecting a flat print to anchor a large, sparse wall; even a big triptych can look thin above a substantial sofa. If your room already has texture from rugs, throws, and plants, flat art may be enough. If the space feels sterile or minimal, dimensional pieces do far more work per dollar.
Set Size and Wall Coverage Math
Buyers consistently underestimate how much wall they need to fill. A single 24×36 inch panel covers a modest rectangle, but a three-piece set of the same panel size covers roughly 16 square feet including spacing — enough to anchor a full sofa wall. Measure your wall width before shopping: a good rule of thumb is that grouped art should span two-thirds to three-quarters of the furniture width below it. Four-piece sets like the Cuspin and Glamativity options offer layout flexibility that fixed triptychs don’t — you can split them across two rooms if needed. The tradeoff is that more pieces mean more precise alignment during hanging, so budget an afternoon and a level.
Palette Commitment and Longevity
Modern decor trends shift quickly, and wall art is often the piece buyers regret when repainting or redecorating. Black, brass, and neutral-tone pieces survived every style iteration in this comparison — they pair with gray, beige, sage, and even bold accent walls. Brown-heavy abstracts and vintage gold finishes are more committed choices: gorgeous in the right room, jarring after a repaint. If you redecorate often or rent, lean toward monochrome metal designs that work in any context. If you’ve settled on a warm, earthy palette for the long haul, the richer-toned picks earn their keep. Cheap metallic finishes are the category’s biggest quality trap — thin powder coating can chip or look plasticky up close, so read material descriptions carefully.
Room Placement and Humidity
Not every material belongs in every room. Framed canvas prints absorb moisture, which makes bathrooms and humid entryways risky unless ventilation is strong — canvas can warp and frames can swell over time. Metal art handles humidity well, which is why several picks in this lineup explicitly list bathrooms as suitable. Bedrooms favor calmer, lower-contrast designs, since bold geometric sculptures can feel busy at eye level from bed. Entryways benefit from smaller sets of two or three, where a massive triptych overwhelms the narrow sightline. Match the art to how the room is actually used, not just how it photographs.
Installation Reality Check
The most frequent complaint across this category isn’t appearance — it’s hanging. Multi-piece sets demand precise spacing, and inconsistent mounting hardware was the recurring weakness in nearly every option reviewed. Expect to supply your own drywall anchors, a laser or bubble level, and paper templates cut to panel size to plan layout before drilling. Metal pieces sometimes hang from a single sawtooth or keyhole, which makes leveling finicky across a set of four. If you’re not comfortable with a drill, single-panel or two-piece options are the pragmatic choice. Budget an hour minimum for a triptych and more for four-piece sets.
When to Pay More
Spending up in this category buys three things: genuine frame depth (gallery-wrapped canvas with real wood frames instead of plastic), heavier-gauge metal that doesn’t flex or rattle, and hand-applied finishes that read as sculpture rather than stamped sheet metal. The jump from a $40 print set to a $90–120 dimensional set is where the biggest visible quality leap happens in this comparison. Beyond that, returns diminish — a $200 set rarely looks twice as good as a $100 one to guests. The smart money move is to spend up only on the piece anchoring your main living space and use budget sets for bedrooms, hallways, and offices.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose a framed canvas set or metal wall art for a modern living room?
It depends on what your room lacks. If your living room already has strong texture — textured rugs, linen sofas, plants — a framed canvas abstract set adds color and softness without competing. If the space feels flat or echoey, metal sculpture art introduces depth and light play that prints can’t match. Canvas also wins if you want color in the artwork itself, since metal options in this category are mostly monochrome. Metal wins on durability and humidity tolerance, making it better for open-plan spaces near kitchens. Many buyers ultimately layer both: a large canvas triptych as the anchor with smaller metal pieces in adjacent areas.
How do I know what size wall art set I need for my wall?
Measure the width of the furniture beneath the wall — sofa, console, or bed — and target art spanning two-thirds to three-quarters of that width. A standard 84-inch sofa calls for roughly 56–63 inches of art span, which a three-piece 24×36 set with 2–3 inch gaps achieves nicely. For walls over 10 feet wide, consider a four-piece set or expect visible emptiness at the edges. Height matters too: the center of the grouping should sit at about 57–60 inches from the floor, gallery standard. When torn between two sizes, going slightly larger is almost always the safer call — undersized art is the most common layout mistake I see in this category.
Are 3D or textured wall art pieces worth the extra cost over flat prints?
Usually yes, for the wall that anchors your main living space. Dimensional pieces change appearance with lighting throughout the day, casting shadows and catching reflections, which makes them read as custom rather than mass-produced. In this comparison, the textured picks consistently delivered more perceived luxury per dollar than flat framed prints at similar prices. The exceptions: if your style is soft, muted, or Scandinavian, a bold sculptural piece can clash rather than elevate. Flat prints also remain the better choice for gallery walls, where multiple pieces need visual consistency. Pay up for dimension on your statement wall; save with prints everywhere else.
Can I hang metal wall art in a bathroom or humid space?
Most powder-coated steel and aluminum pieces handle bathroom humidity well, which is why several picks here list bathrooms among suitable rooms. The risks to watch for are exposed raw edges and cheap coatings, which can rust or bubble over time in a steamy space — check whether the product description mentions rust-resistant or waterproof finishes. Avoid framed canvas and MDF-backed prints in full bathrooms, since both absorb moisture and will warp within a year or two. A well-ventilated powder room is more forgiving and can handle almost anything. Wiping metal pieces occasionally also prevents soap residue from dulling the finish.
How do I hang a multi-piece wall art set so it looks straight and evenly spaced?
Start by tracing each piece onto kraft paper, cut out the templates, and tape them to the wall with painter’s tape — this lets you adjust the layout before making any holes. Keep 2–3 inches between panels for triptychs and slightly less for smaller four-piece sets, and always measure from the top of each frame rather than the hanging hardware, since hooks sit at inconsistent heights across sets. Use a level on each individual piece, not just the overall arrangement. For drywall without studs, use proper anchors rated above the piece’s weight, since the included hardware in most budget sets is minimal. The paper-template method takes twenty extra minutes and prevents the crooked, uneven spacing that plagues most DIY installations.
Conclusion
For most buyers, the 3D Large Framed Brown Abstract Wall Art triptych is the best overall choice — it combines gallery-scale coverage, dimensional texture, and a warm palette that suits the most common living room styles. The Cuspin Abstract Metal Set of 4 is the clear value pick, covering more wall for less money than anything else in this lineup. For a premium statement, the GUSFREUD 3D Hummingbird Set delivers sculptural presence nothing else here matches, provided your palette can carry vintage brass. Beginners and first-time renters get the easiest win with the Framed Modern Minimalist Neutral Set of 3 — it’s forgiving to hang, matches nearly anything, and won’t fight future decor changes. For specific needs: the Oakrain 3-pack metal art suits offices and entryways where a flexible multi-spot layout helps, the Glamativity four-pack handles bathrooms and humid rooms, and the Large Framed Neutral Set of 2 fits narrower walls and bedroom spaces where a triptych would overwhelm. Whatever you pick, measure your wall first and buy for the room you actually live in, not the one in the product photos.
