480 mm Pasithea moon wall art above a sofa in a living room

What Size Pasithea Moon Wall Art Is Right for Your Room?

Choosing wall art is partly about what you love — but scale can completely change the way it feels in a room.

Pasithea has been designed to be more than something you simply hang on a wall. Its sculpted lunar surface, illuminated face and rear halo create a feature that changes character throughout the day and night. Choosing the right size helps Pasithea sit naturally within the space around it.

The 480 mm Pasithea

The current Pasithea measures approximately 480 mm (48 cm) across.

At just under half a metre in diameter, it is large enough for the lunar surface detail, lighting and halo to have real visual impact, while still fitting comfortably into many living rooms, bedrooms, home offices and other interior spaces.

It works particularly well above furniture such as a console table, sideboard or chest of drawers, or as a standalone feature on a smaller wall.

The 930 mm Pasithea — coming soon

For larger spaces, a much bigger 930 mm (93 cm) Pasithea is coming soon.

At nearly a metre across, the 930 mm version is intended to create a much more dramatic statement.

It may suit larger living rooms, feature walls, open-plan spaces or areas where Pasithea can become one of the main visual elements in the room.

The difference between 480 mm and 930 mm is significant. Although the larger Pasithea is roughly twice the diameter, visually it creates a substantially greater presence on the wall.

Think about the furniture underneath

One of the easiest ways to judge the right size is to look at the furniture and wall space around where Pasithea will be installed.

A 480 mm Pasithea can sit comfortably above smaller furniture without overpowering it.

On a wide wall above a large sofa, long sideboard or substantial piece of furniture, however, the larger 930 mm Pasithea may feel more in proportion.

The aim is for the moon to look deliberately placed rather than lost on a large wall or squeezed into a space that is too small.

Viewing distance makes a difference

How far away you normally view Pasithea also matters.

In a bedroom, you may often see it from only a few metres away, where the 480 mm version can provide plenty of presence and allow you to appreciate the sculpted lunar detail.

Across a large living room or open-plan area, a larger Pasithea can remain visually prominent from much farther away.

There is no single correct viewing distance — it is about how you want the Moon to feel within your room.

Why photographs can be misleading

Room photographs can make wall art appear much larger or smaller than it really is. Camera lenses, furniture dimensions, ceiling height and perspective can all change our perception of scale.

That is why we recommend checking the actual dimensions on your own wall rather than judging Pasithea solely from photographs.

A simple way to do this is to mark out a 48 cm circle with removable tape, or create a paper or cardboard template and temporarily place it on the wall. If you are considering the larger version, do the same with a 93 cm circle.

It takes only a few minutes and gives you a much better idea of how each Pasithea will feel in your particular room.

Allow space for the halo

Pasithea's rear illumination creates a halo of light around the moon.

For the best visual effect, it helps to give Pasithea some breathing room rather than surrounding it tightly with pictures, shelving or other wall decorations.

An uncluttered area around the moon allows the halo to become part of the overall feature and helps draw attention to the sculpted lunar surface.

Bedroom or living room?

For many bedrooms, the 480 mm Pasithea provides an eye-catching feature without dominating the room.

It also works beautifully in living rooms, particularly where wall space is more limited or where a subtler feature is preferred.

The forthcoming 930 mm Pasithea is aimed at customers who want something considerably more dramatic — a moon that becomes a major focal point within a larger room.

Ultimately, both sizes share the same idea: bringing the Moon into your interior as a sculpted, illuminated feature. You can read more about what makes Pasithea a realistic moon if you'd like the detail behind the surface.

Choose the Pasithea that suits your space

The best size isn't necessarily the biggest one. It is the Pasithea that feels right for your wall, your furniture and the atmosphere you want to create.

For many homes, the 480 mm Pasithea offers a strong balance between presence and versatility. For larger walls and customers wanting a true statement piece, the 930 mm Pasithea is coming soon.

Whichever size you choose, Pasithea is designed to transform an empty section of wall into something much more atmospheric.

The 480 mm Pasithea is available now through the Founders' Club — fifty individually numbered units at a total price of £650, instead of £899 afterwards. You reserve with a fully refundable £250 deposit, and the remaining £400 is invoiced shortly before dispatch. Reserve your place →
