All sizes are approximate. Measure the space first, whether that is a window pane, a stretch of wall or a corner of a desk, and pick the size that leaves a little breathing room around it. If a size turns out wrong at home, you can return it within 60 days of delivery with a free return label and choose another. Questions about a particular spot are welcome at <a href=\"mailto:support@petpetal.shop\">support@petpetal.shop</a>.</p>\n</section>\n<h2>How to measure before you order</h2>\n<p>A tape measure and a sheet of paper solve most sizing doubts. These four habits work for nearly everything we sell.</p>\n<h3>Measure the glass, not the frame</h3>\n<p>For a suncatcher, measure the single pane of glass where it will hang. Window frames, sills and curtain rails make a window look bigger than the clear area light actually passes through. A suncatcher looks best with some clear glass on every side, so the flowers are framed by light rather than pressed against the edges.</p>\n<h3>Try the paper template trick</h3>\n<p>Cut paper or flattened cardboard to the size you are considering and tape it where the piece will go. Leave it up for a day. Look at it from the doorway, from the sofa and at night. If you keep wanting it bigger or smaller, you have your answer before spending anything.</p>\n<h3>Use the two-thirds rule for wall art</h3>\n<p>Above a sofa, sideboard, bed or loveseat, art usually looks balanced when it spans roughly two-thirds of the width of the furniture below. Narrower pieces can look lost; wider pieces can crowd the wall. If one canvas is too narrow for the space, two smaller canvases side by side can also fill it nicely.</p>\n<h3>Think about the name</h3>\n<p>On personalised pieces, the pet name field takes up to 14 characters. A short name like &#8220;Bo&#8221; looks fine on any size. A long name sits more comfortably on a larger option, where the letters have more room. The live text preview on the product page shows you how your words fit before you order.</p>\n<h3>Mind the light</h3>\n<p>For suncatchers, think about when the sun reaches the window. A pane that gets strong morning light shows off a smaller piece beautifully, while a window that only gets soft afternoon light may need the larger size to make the colours noticeable from inside the room.</p>\n<h2>Suncatchers and window hangings</h2>\n<p>Every piece in our <a href=\"/collections/suncatchers/\">Suncatchers collection</a> comes in two sizes.</p>\n<table>\n<caption>Suncatcher sizes (approximate)</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Size option</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Good for</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Example</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>6 in</td>\n<td>Kitchen, bathroom and small cottage-style panes; windows you see up close</td>\n<td>Biscuit the golden retriever on the <a href=\"/products/peony-wreath-golden-retriever-suncatcher/\">Peony Wreath Golden Retriever Suncatcher</a> above a sink</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8 in</td>\n<td>Larger panes, patio doors and windows you see from across the room</td>\n<td>The <a href=\"/products/best-friends-line-art-dog-cat-panel-suncatcher/\">Best Friends Line Art Dog &amp; Cat Panel Suncatcher</a> in a living room window</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Shapes differ between products, so two 6 in suncatchers may not take up exactly the same area. A crescent moon reads lighter than a full wreath, and a teardrop is taller than it is wide. If you are deciding for a memorial teardrop with a name and years such as &#8220;Luna 2012 – 2026&#8221;, the 8 in gives longer wording a little more space.</p>\n<h2>Canvas prints, posters and wall decals</h2>\n<p>Our <a href=\"/collections/canvas-wall-art/\">Canvas &amp; Wall Art collection</a> has three canvas shapes plus an unframed poster and a wall decal. Width is listed first, then height.</p>\n<table>\n<caption>Canvas print sizes by shape (approximate, width × height)</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Shape</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Size options</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Product</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Square</td>\n<td>12 × 12 in, 16 × 16 in, 20 × 20 in</td>\n<td><a href=\"/products/watercolor-corgi-poppies-square-canvas/\">Watercolor Corgi in Poppies Square Canvas</a></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Portrait</td>\n<td>8 × 10 in, 12 × 16 in, 16 × 20 in</td>\n<td><a href=\"/products/floral-wreath-tabby-cat-portrait-canvas/\">Floral Wreath Tabby Cat Portrait Canvas</a>, <a href=\"/products/personalized-pet-name-floral-portrait-canvas/\">Personalized Pet Name Floral Portrait Canvas</a></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Landscape</td>\n<td>16 × 12 in, 24 × 16 in, 36 × 24 in</td>\n<td><a href=\"/products/meadow-friends-watercolor-landscape-canvas/\">Meadow Friends Watercolor Landscape Canvas</a></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<table>\n<caption>Poster and wall decal sizes (approximate, width × height)</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Product</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Size options</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Note</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"/products/line-art-dog-cat-duo-poster/\">Line Art Dog &amp; Cat Duo Poster</a></td>\n<td>12 × 18 in, 16 × 24 in, 24 × 36 in</td>\n<td>Sold unframed; check the inside size of your frame</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"/products/line-art-cat-and-flowers-wall-decal/\">Line Art Cat &amp; Flowers Wall Decal</a></td>\n<td>6 × 9 in, 12 × 12 in, 16 × 20 in</td>\n<td>Measure the flat area of wall, away from switches and trim</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<h3>Choosing between canvas sizes</h3>\n<p>Smaller portrait canvases suit shelves, bedside tables and gallery walls where they sit among photos. The middle sizes work as a single piece in a hallway or above a desk. The largest sizes are made for open walls above furniture. Before you choose a 36 × 24 in landscape canvas, try the paper template: one customer found it too wide for the wall above a loveseat and returned it for a smaller option, which our returns policy allows within 60 days of delivery.</p>\n<h2>Ornaments</h2>\n<p>Ornaments in our <a href=\"/collections/ornaments/\">Ornaments collection</a> come in different materials, and each material has its own size options.</p>\n<table>\n<caption>Ornament sizes by material (approximate)</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Ornament</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Size or shape options</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Products</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Acrylic</td>\n<td>4 in, 4.7 in, 5.5 in</td>\n<td><a href=\"/products/watercolor-labrador-round-acrylic-ornament/\">Watercolor Labrador Round Acrylic Ornament</a>, <a href=\"/products/personalized-breed-name-acrylic-ornament/\">Personalized Breed &amp; Name Acrylic Ornament</a>, <a href=\"/products/watercolor-cat-paw-shaped-acrylic-ornament/\">Watercolor Cat Paw-Shaped Acrylic Ornament</a></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Glass heart</td>\n<td>2.76 in, 3.15 in</td>\n<td><a href=\"/products/line-art-paw-heart-glass-ornament/\">Line Art Paw &amp; Heart Glass Ornament</a></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wood</td>\n<td>4 in, 5.5 in</td>\n<td><a href=\"/products/peony-pup-wooden-ornament/\">Peony Pup Wooden Ornament</a></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ceramic</td>\n<td>One size; choose Round or Heart</td>\n<td><a href=\"/products/floral-wreath-cat-ceramic-ornament/\">Floral Wreath Cat Ceramic Ornament</a>, <a href=\"/products/forever-in-bloom-memorial-ceramic-ornament/\">Forever in Bloom Memorial Ceramic Ornament</a></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>On a full tree, the larger acrylic sizes stand out from a distance, while the smaller ones blend among other decorations. The glass heart is the most delicate size and suits a small tree, a window latch or a gift tag. If you are ordering ornaments for several pets, choosing the same size for each gives a matching set. If you need the measurements of a ceramic ornament before ordering, email us and we will share what we have.</p>\n<h2>Memorial pieces for the garden and home</h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"/collections/memorial-gifts/\">Memorial Gifts collection</a> includes pieces meant to sit outdoors among plants or indoors on a shelf. Take your time choosing; there is no need to decide quickly.</p>\n<table>\n<caption>Memorial piece sizes and options (approximate)</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Product</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Size or option</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Note</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"/products/personalized-floral-memorial-garden-stone/\">Personalized Floral Memorial Garden Stone</a></td>\n<td>One size in Heart, Rectangle or Round; stone only or with stand</td>\n<td>The stand lets it sit upright on a shelf or windowsill</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"/products/always-in-our-garden-memorial-slate/\">Always in Our Garden Memorial Slate</a></td>\n<td>Oval, about 4 in; packs of 1, 2 or 3 slates</td>\n<td>Approximate; email us if you need the exact measurement</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"/products/floral-pet-memorial-plaque-stake/\">Floral Pet Memorial Plaque Stake</a></td>\n<td>4.7 × 7.8 in, 5.9 × 9.8 in</td>\n<td>Size of the plaque; measure the bed or pot where it will stand</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"/products/watercolor-memorial-display-plate-with-stand/\">Watercolor Memorial Display Plate with Stand</a></td>\n<td>7 in, 8 in, 9 in</td>\n<td>Check the depth of the shelf where the plate will stand</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>For a slate pack shared between relatives, such as siblings in Auckland and Perth, remember that each order ships to one address, so a separate order per household is the easiest route. For a plaque stake in a planter, measure the pot opening; the smaller size usually suits containers, the larger one a garden bed.</p>\n<h2>Home and keepsake sizes</h2>\n<p>Everyday pieces in <a href=\"/collections/home-keepsakes/\">Home &amp; Keepsakes</a> are sized by capacity or by outer measurement.</p>\n<table>\n<caption>Home and keepsake sizes (approximate)</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Product</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Size options</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">How to choose</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"/products/watercolor-cat-peonies-mug/\">Watercolor Cat &amp; Peonies Mug</a></td>\n<td>11 oz, 15 oz</td>\n<td>11 oz for an ordinary cup of coffee or tea; 15 oz for those who like a large mug</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"/products/floral-wreath-dog-throw-pillow/\">Floral Wreath Dog Throw Pillow</a></td>\n<td>12 × 12 in, 18 × 18 in; cover only or cover with insert</td>\n<td>Pick &#8220;cover only&#8221; if you already have an insert of the same size</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"/products/garden-pets-watercolor-fleece-blanket/\">Garden Pets Watercolor Fleece Blanket</a></td>\n<td>30 × 40 in, 50 × 60 in, 60 × 80 in</td>\n<td>Smaller for a lap or pet bed, middle for the sofa, largest to cover a bed</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"/products/sweet-pea-cat-acrylic-fridge-magnet/\">Sweet Pea Cat Acrylic Fridge Magnet</a></td>\n<td>3 in, 4 in, 5 in</td>\n<td>Smaller sizes leave room for notes and photos on the fridge</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"/products/lavender-dog-acrylic-desk-plaque/\">Lavender Dog Acrylic Desk Plaque</a></td>\n<td>4 in, 6 in, 8 in</td>\n<td>Measure the free space between monitor and keyboard, or on a shelf</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"/products/line-art-paw-ceramic-jewelry-dish/\">Line Art Paw Ceramic Jewelry Dish</a></td>\n<td>One size; choose Heart, Round or Square</td>\n<td>Email us if you need the measurement before ordering</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>A pillow insert of the same size as the cover gives a soft, relaxed look; a slightly larger insert from your own cupboard gives a fuller one. For a blanket, the 50 × 60 in option is the usual pick for draping over a sofa arm or wrapping up for a film.</p>\n<h2>Room-by-room starting points</h2>\n<p>If you are not sure where to begin, these pairings are a sensible first guess. Measure anyway, because every home is different.</p>\n<table>\n<caption>Suggested starting sizes by room or spot</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Spot</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Piece to consider</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Size to try first</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Window above the kitchen sink</td>\n<td>Suncatcher</td>\n<td>6 in</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Living room window or patio door</td>\n<td>Suncatcher</td>\n<td>8 in</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bookshelf or gallery wall of photos</td>\n<td>Portrait canvas</td>\n<td>8 × 10 in</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wall above a sofa or bed</td>\n<td>Landscape canvas or square canvas</td>\n<td>24 × 16 in or 20 × 20 in</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Home office desk</td>\n<td>Desk plaque</td>\n<td>6 in</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fridge door crowded with notes</td>\n<td>Fridge magnet</td>\n<td>3 in</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Holiday tree</td>\n<td>Acrylic ornament</td>\n<td>4.7 in</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Flower bed by the back door</td>\n<td>Plaque stake</td>\n<td>5.9 × 9.8 in</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<h2>Sizing a gift for someone else</h2>\n<p>Choosing a size for another person&#8217;s home is harder, because you cannot pull out a tape measure in their kitchen. A few quiet tricks help.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Look at a recent photo of the room. Compare the window or wall with something of known size in the picture, such as a door or a standard chair, to estimate the space.</li>\n<li>Choose pieces that do not depend on exact space: an ornament, a mug, a magnet or a blanket fits almost any home.</li>\n<li>For a memorial gift, a smaller suncatcher or a ceramic ornament is easy to place wherever the person feels is right, and asks nothing of them.</li>\n<li>If you guessed wrong, the recipient can still use the 60-day return window. Ask them to let you know, and email us with the order number to arrange a free return label.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Deciding between two sizes</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>When the piece will be seen from a distance,</strong> such as across a living room or from the garden path, go up a size.</li>\n<li><strong>When it sits close to you,</strong> on a desk, a kitchen pane or a bedside table, the smaller option usually looks more in proportion.</li>\n<li><strong>When it carries a name and years,</strong> lean toward the larger option so the wording stays easy to read.</li>\n<li><strong>When it is a gift and you do not know the space,</strong> the middle option is the safest choice where there are three.</li>\n<li><strong>When the paper template feels slightly too big,</strong> it usually is. Trust that first impression.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>If a size does not work out</h2>\n<p>You can return any item within 60 days of delivery for any reason, personalised items included, and we pay the return postage with a free return label.
