What size of wall letters to choose?

Reference points — The five preset heights

The configurator offers five ready-made heights. You can also set the height to the centimetre, between 5 and 30 cm.

Height	Effect	Ideal for
5 cm — Subtle	A light touch	A shelf, a door, a small section of wall
8 cm — Balanced	Legible and harmonious	A headboard, a desk, a name in a child’s room
12 cm — Statement	Eye-catching	Above a sofa, a console table or a sideboard
18 cm — XXL Presence	Bold wall effect	A large living-room wall, an entrance, a reception wall
30 cm — Monumental	Maximum height	Professional spaces and large volumes

Measure your wall in three steps

Measure the available width Note the width of the furniture or the part of the wall the word should dress, leaving some space on each side.
Aim for about two thirds of that width It is a common interior-design rule of thumb: the composition stays anchored to the furniture without overhanging it. Above a 210 cm sofa, that gives a word about 140 cm wide.
Set the height in the configurator The width depends on the height, the typeface and the number of letters: type your text, then adjust the height until you reach the width you want.

Longer text: going onto several lines

A line is at most 2 metres wide. Beyond that, the composition moves onto several lines, spaced at about 40 % of the letter height.

The height you choose is that of the typeface’s reference capital letter: lowercase letters are proportionally smaller.

Choosing the thickness and relief

For the Chroma range (PLA), four thicknesses change how present the word is on the wall. Letters in the Wood range are cut from 3 mm lime plywood.

Thickness	Result
5 mm — Slim	Slim and delicate profile
10 mm — Standard	The most versatile thickness
15 mm — Bold	Bold relief, real depth
20 mm — Sculptural	Sculptural volume, maximum presence

FAQ — Your questions about size

What size of letters for a name in a child’s room?

A height of 8 to 12 cm suits most headboards and sections of wall. For a short name on a large wall, 18 cm gives more presence.

How do I find out the exact width of my word?

Type your text into the configurator: it shows the estimated dimensions of the composition and updates them whenever you change the height, typeface or text.

Can letters be taller than 30 cm or wider than 2 m?

Our letters are made up to 30 cm tall and 2 m wide per line. For a larger project, such as professional signage, write to us: we look at custom requests.
