The most common question before a first order isn't about design or finish — it's "will this be too big for my wall?" Almost always, the honest answer is no.
Every design in the Hour & Hearth collection ships at 150×100cm. That's not an arbitrary number — it's roughly the size at which a single piece can carry a wall on its own, without needing a supporting cast of smaller frames around it. Smaller than that, and a piece can start to look like it's floating, undersized for the wall it's on.
Stand back from the wall at normal viewing distance — across the room, not up close. If you can comfortably imagine a 150cm-tall or 150cm-wide rectangle sitting on it with room to spare on every side, the size will work. Most living room, entry, and bedroom feature walls clear this easily; it's narrow hallways and low ceilings where it's worth double-checking with a tape measure first.
A vertical 150×100cm piece and a horizontal one occupy the same area but read completely differently. Vertical suits a narrow wall or a spot with more height than width — above a console, beside a doorway. Horizontal suits a long, low wall — behind a sofa, above a bed headboard, along a stairwell run. Browse the collection to see how each design reads.
The safest way to check scale before committing is to see the actual size in person — every piece in the collection is currently in Sydney and viewable by appointment. Bring a photo of your wall, or just come stand in front of one. Get in touch to arrange a time.

Yes. Vertical suits a narrow wall or a spot with more height than width, and horizontal suits a long, low wall such as behind a sofa.
