What should hang in a home office? Pictures that reward a long look and do not distract. A map is a good example: it holds plenty of detail for a moment of daydreaming between calls, and it carries no mood that clashes with work. A city view or an architectural drawing gives structure and a sense of order, and old engraved prints tend to be monochrome or restrained in colour, which keeps a working room calm.

Where does it go? The wall behind you shows up on video calls, so a mid-sized picture centred behind the chair, hung with the middle at about 57 to 60 inches (145 to 152 cm) from the floor, makes a tidy frame for you. For the wall you face, pick something you will not tire of in a month, and keep it a little off the screen's line of sight.

What size? Over a desk, a piece about two thirds the desk width looks settled; with a 60 inch (152 cm) desk, 24x36 inches (61x91 cm) or 28x40 inches (71x102 cm) is a comfortable range. A single large map, say 32x40 inches (81x102 cm), can serve as the main feature of the room. For a gallery wall of architectural prints, hang them 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) apart and align either the centre line or the top edge.

Is detail a problem? Maps and prints carry fine linework, so a larger size shows more of it. Look at the preview at full zoom before choosing. If you order a size that differs from the original proportions, the picture is centred and cropped, which matters for a map because edges can carry the key or lettering, and the product page shows what is cut.

Canvas or frame? A frame gives a map or print a document-like finish. Black, Walnut and Natural suit most desks; Framed Print goes up to 30x40 and 36x36 inches (76x102 and 91x91 cm). Canvas has no frame or glass, and it is lighter on a plaster wall. Every piece is made to order.
