Choose a canvas for the clear wall above your gaming desk, not for the desk width alone. A monitor, a shelf and your viewing position can change how much of the image remains visible.
VibeCanvas lists two custom canvas sizes: 30 × 40 cm and 60 × 80 cm. Both have the same proportions when shown vertically, but they occupy very different amounts of wall space.
Compare the actual dimensions
| Canvas size | Approximate inches | Front area | What to check first |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 × 40 cm | 11.8 × 15.7 in | 1,200 cm² | Whether the image is large enough to read from your chair |
| 60 × 80 cm | 23.6 × 31.5 in | 4,800 cm² | Whether the wall has enough clear height above the monitor |
The 60 × 80 cm option is twice as wide and twice as tall as the 30 × 40 cm option. That makes its front area four times as large, not twice as large.
These measurements describe a vertical layout. If you want a horizontal composition or another orientation, confirm that option before ordering.
Measure three spaces
First, measure the clear width where the canvas could hang. Do not include a wall section occupied by a shelf or other feature that you intend to keep.
Next, measure the clear height between the top of your monitor and the next obstruction. A 60 × 80 cm canvas needs room for its 80 cm height, plus whatever spacing your mounting arrangement requires.
Finally, check the wall beside the monitor. A side placement may work better if there is little space above the screen. Measure that position separately rather than treating it as part of the central wall.
Test both sizes with paper
Cut or join sheets of paper into 30 × 40 cm and 60 × 80 cm rectangles. Place them on the wall using a method suitable for the wall finish.
Then make three checks:
- Sit in your usual gaming position and see whether the monitor hides any of the rectangle.
- Stand at the room entrance and compare how strongly each size occupies the wall.
- If you use a webcam, check whether the rectangle appears in the camera frame.
Leave the outlines up long enough to see them in the lighting you normally use. The smaller outline may suit a shelf-filled wall; the larger one may suit a clear area where you want a main focal point.
An example using a 120 cm desk
Assume the canvas is vertical and centered on a 120 cm-wide desk. The 30 cm-wide canvas occupies one quarter of the desk width. The 60 cm-wide canvas occupies half.
That comparison is a planning example, not a rule or a photographed customer installation. A 60 cm-wide piece can still be unsuitable if the space above the monitor is less than 80 cm high. Equally, a 30 cm-wide piece might feel too small when viewed from the far side of a large room.
Use desk proportions as one clue, then make the decision with the actual wall measurements.
Match the composition to the size
A simple subject can remain readable in a smaller format. Fine lettering, several faces or a detailed landscape may need more careful review at the chosen print size.
Both listed sizes have a 3:4 vertical ratio. Test your image in that shape before you decide. Keep the important subject away from a tight edge crop and ask about image suitability if the source file has limited detail.

Check the practical details before ordering
Consider the power outlet, cable route and installation requirements along with the rectangle on the wall. Confirm the actual mounting and power details before choosing the final position.
