When your headcount doubles in a quarter, your workspace changes weekly. Desks move, teams split, and new meeting rooms appear overnight. Wall art often gets left for “later,” then the office feels unfinished on day one of every move. A modular plan fixes that: you choose a small set of themes, sizes, and layouts that you can repeat as the company grows.
- Pick 2–3 themes and keep them consistent across the office.
- Standardize 1–2 canvas sizes so reorders stay simple.
- Use repeatable layout modules (single piece, pair, 3-piece row).
- Order by room in batches so installs happen in one session.
What rapid hiring does to your walls
Teams grow faster than the office layout
In a scale-up, the floor plan is rarely final. A wall behind a meeting table can become a video-call background for client demos, or a hallway can turn into a traffic-heavy area after a seating change. If art choices are made one wall at a time, the office ends up with mixed sizes and mixed hanging rules.
Why a repeatable art system saves time during moves and reorgs
A modular art plan works like a design system: a small set of rules that can be applied anywhere. Instead of debating every wall, you reuse the same theme pack and the same layout modules. That reduces decision time and makes it easier to add new walls when teams expand.
The modular art plan in 20 minutes
Set your theme pack for a tech brand
Choose 2–3 themes that match how you want the office to feel day to day. Many tech teams do well with clean abstract shapes, calm nature scenes for focus areas, and business visuals for leadership spaces. For a fast starting point, browse abstract wall prints and shortlist pieces that share a similar look.
Standardize sizes so reorders are predictable
Pick one “default” size that fits most walls and one larger size for anchor walls. Standard sizes let you reuse the same hanging height and spacing rules, which speeds up installs and reduces mistakes.
Build layout modules you can repeat
- Single anchor piece: One larger canvas print for reception or a main meeting room.
- Two-piece pair: Matching formats for side-by-side balance in small rooms.
- Three-piece row: A clean series for hallways or long walls.
- Desk backdrop: One medium piece centered behind a seated person for video calls.
Room-by-room placement map for scale-ups
Reception and entry wall
The entry wall sets the tone for candidates and visitors. Use one anchor piece that communicates focus and forward motion without relying on text-heavy designs.
Meeting rooms and video backgrounds
For camera-facing walls, keep the layout simple and centered. Avoid tiny pieces that read like clutter on screen. If you want office-ready options, start with office wall art and pick a consistent format for every room.
Open-plan workspace
In shared work zones, choose visuals that support focus and keep walls near whiteboards clear for daily work.
Focus rooms and quiet corners
Quiet rooms benefit from fewer pieces and calmer themes. A single nature canvas print at eye level can make the space feel finished without adding visual noise.
Hallways
Hallways are a strong match for the three-piece row module. Repeating the same spacing and size makes the corridor feel intentional and helps new hires learn the space.
Break area
Choose lighter themes and keep art away from high-splash zones. One well-placed piece is often enough.
Layout rules that still work after the next move
Use a consistent centerline
Pick one standard center height for most walls and stick to it. For video backgrounds, center the artwork behind the seated person rather than behind the table.
Spacing rules for pairs and sets
For pairs, keep one consistent gap. For three-piece rows, use equal spacing across the full line and measure from the center outward.
When to choose one large piece vs a set
Choose one large piece when the wall is the room’s main focal point. Choose a set when you need rhythm across a long wall.
Quick measuring checklist before you order
Measure wall width, note obstacles (doors, screens), and confirm the primary viewing distance. Store these notes in a shared doc so future orders follow the same logic.
Theme packs that suit tech culture
Abstract forms for product-led teams
Abstract art prints work across many room types, which makes them a strong default theme pack for scale-ups.
Strategy-focused visuals for leadership spaces
Boardrooms and executive offices often need a sharper, goal-driven tone. Select a few pieces of business wall art and repeat them across leadership rooms for a consistent message.
Fast ordering plan for busy operators
Use one wall list
Keep a single spreadsheet with: room name, wall width, chosen module, chosen theme pack, and the link to the selected piece. This becomes your ordering source of truth.
Batch orders by room
Ordering by room keeps delivery and install organized and helps you avoid half-finished walls.
Keep approval tight
Use one brand owner and one ops owner, then decide quickly so the office is ready when the team arrives.
Install and care playbook
Hardware basics by wall type
Drywall, concrete, and glass partitions need different fixings. If you are unsure, test one wall first and then standardize hardware for that wall type.
Two-person install checklist
Mark the centerline, measure spacing, and hang from the middle outward. Save a photo of each finished wall alongside its measurements.
Cleaning routine
Dust lightly during regular office cleaning and avoid placing canvas prints near steam or direct splashes.
Scale the plan by headcount
10–25 people: three anchor walls
Start with reception, one main meeting room, and one open-plan wall.
25–75 people: meeting rooms plus hallway sets
Give each meeting room a consistent background, then roll out hallway series sets.
75–200 people: standardize by zone
Assign theme packs to zones (client-facing, focus, social) and keep the same sizes and layout modules in each zone.
FAQ
1) What size works best behind a desk on video calls?
Choose a medium piece that fills the frame without crowding the head and shoulders.
2) How many pieces do we need for a hallway run?
Start with one three-piece row per main corridor section, then repeat the same module if needed.
3) What is the fastest layout for a new office floor?
One anchor piece in reception, a pair in each meeting room, and three-piece rows in the main hallways.
4) How do we keep a consistent look across rooms?
Lock in a small theme pack, two sizes, and one centerline height.
5) Should we match art to furniture colors?
Match by mood rather than exact color so the plan stays flexible after reorgs.
6) Can we mix abstract and nature themes?
Yes—assign one theme to focus areas and the other to client-facing rooms.
7) What should we hang in small meeting rooms?
Use one centered piece or a clean pair; skip busy gallery walls.
8) What should we hang in phone booths?
Often nothing is best; if you add art, use one small piece at eye level.
9) How do we avoid glare on video calls?
Avoid placing artwork directly opposite large windows and control light with blinds if needed.
10) How do we plan for future moves?
Choose repeatable sizes and modules so the same set can be re-hung quickly.
11) What’s the best way to document the plan?
Keep one wall list spreadsheet plus a photo folder of finished walls and measurements.
12) How quickly can orders ship?
Artesty notes that most orders ship within 1–3 business days, with tracking shared after shipment.
13) Do prints arrive ready to hang?
Artesty describes prints as stretched on wood panels and packaged for shipping.
14) Can we request uncommon sizes?
Artesty indicates many sizes are available, from small to extra large.
15) What if we need to return an order?
Artesty describes returns and exchanges with contact within 30 days of delivery.
Next step
Pick your theme pack, standardize sizes, and set three layout modules. Once those are chosen, new walls become a repeatable task you can run quickly as the company grows.
