3 Piece Wall Art: How to Arrange Three Hoops of Different Sizes

Mustard, cream and rust yarn half filling three wooden hoops stacked on a pale teal wall

For 3 piece wall art with three different hoop sizes, start with the largest ring, then make the other two follow one clear line or one clear triangle. Houseland lists the hoops at 7.48 in (19 cm), 9 in (23 cm), and 10.6 in (27 cm), so the size change is deliberate enough to guide the layout.

A touching vertical column is about 27.2 in (69 cm) tall and 10.6 in (27 cm) wide. A loose triangular cluster is roughly 24 x 20 in (60 x 50 cm). Those 2 footprints answer most of the sizing question before you pick a nail, hook, or adhesive system. If you are still deciding how much wall to reserve, use the tape-outline method in wall-art measuring guide before making holes.

What sizes are you actually arranging?

The set is a graduated group, not 3 equal circles, so arrange from the listed diameters rather than by eye alone. The smallest hoop is 7.48 in (19 cm), the middle is 9 in (23 cm), and the largest is 10.6 in (27 cm). Each ring has yarn wound flat across one half and an open half of the hoop, so rotation changes the visual direction without changing the footprint.

Piece Listed diameter Useful role in the layout
Small hoop 7.48 in (19 cm) Top of a column, high point of a triangle, or light end of a row
Medium hoop 9 in (23 cm) Bridge between the other 2 sizes or visual center of a row
Large hoop 10.6 in (27 cm) Bottom anchor of a column or low anchor of a cluster

The safest first mock-up is full scale: mark all 3 diameters on paper or low-tack tape and put them on the wall. A 10.6 in (27 cm) circle can feel much larger on a wall strip beside a door than it does on a table. If the largest ring physically fits but the whole group still feels crowded, the large-wall spacing discussion is useful for judging empty space around art.

Use the outside diameter as the boundary for every paper template. For a 7.48 in (19 cm) circle, mark the center as well as the edge; repeat that for 9 in (23 cm) and 10.6 in (27 cm). Those center marks matter more than the yarn line when you compare spacing, because the wound half can make one side look visually heavier even though the wood ring remains circular.

How should 3 piece wall art be arranged vertically?

A vertical column works best when all 3 centers share one plumb line and the size progression is obvious from top to bottom. The product photographs support a largest-lowest, smallest-highest stack, with the hoops touching in the compact version.

  1. Mark the centerline first; do not chase the outside edges, because 7.48 in (19 cm), 9 in (23 cm), and 10.6 in (27 cm) have different radii.
  2. Place the 10.6 in (27 cm) hoop at the bottom, then the 9 in (23 cm) hoop, then the 7.48 in (19 cm) hoop at the top.
  3. For the touching version, use the listed arithmetic: 7.48 in + 9 in + 10.6 in gives the published column footprint of about 27.2 in (69 cm) tall.
  4. Rotate every second hoop so the wound halves alternate left and right if you want a zigzag; face the wound halves the same way for a quieter repeating stack.

This layout is the narrowest option because the largest ring sets the width at 10.6 in (27 cm). It suits a wall strip between windows, beside a doorway, or above a nightstand where width is scarce but vertical space is available.

Which layout fits a wider wall?

A loose triangle is the better fit when the wall gives you width and you want the 3 hoops to read as one cluster instead of one tall stripe. The product page gives the triangular arrangement at roughly 24 x 20 in (60 x 50 cm), which uses 24 in of wall width instead of the 10.6 in (27 cm) column width and is slightly shorter than the touching stack.

Start with the 10.6 in (27 cm) hoop low and to one side, place the 7.48 in (19 cm) hoop higher on the opposite side, and use the 9 in (23 cm) hoop to connect them visually. Keep the wound halves facing toward the middle if you want the colored areas to pull inward rather than point away from each other.

A horizontal row is a third option when you have a long, low wall. Keep the centers on one level line and keep the gaps identical, because equal gaps make 3 different diameters look intentional. For a living-room grouping, this guide to making three wall accents agree gives a useful next step on repetition and visual relationships without forcing every piece to match.

If the wall is narrow but not tall enough for 27.2 in (69 cm), test the horizontal row before shrinking the gaps into an awkward stack. If the wall is wide enough for roughly 24 x 20 in (60 x 50 cm), the triangle gives each diameter more breathing room while keeping the 3 pieces visibly connected. The deciding measurement is the wall footprint, not the number of hoops.

Where should the group sit on the wall?

Place the group around the wall area people actually look at, then adjust for furniture instead of treating one height as a rule. The Getty notes that museums traditionally assume an average adult eye height of 60 in, while also placing objects higher or lower when the display calls for it.

For a worked check, centering the 27.2 in (69 cm) touching column around 60 in puts its top at about 73.6 in and its bottom at about 46.4 in. That is only a viewing reference, not a home-installation standard; a console, headboard, lamp, window trim, or switch can shift the group up or down.

Above a sofa or console, center the arrangement on the furniture zone you want it to belong to, not automatically on the entire wall. The sofa-versus-wall centering guide explains that distinction in more detail. Mark the group with tape, stand at the room entrance, and check whether the 3 circles read as one object before fixing anything.

Door casings, window trim, and lamps can create a stronger visual boundary than the room's geometric midpoint. Measure from those nearby objects as well as from the floor, then photograph the tape mock-up from the doorway. A 27.2 in (69 cm) column can read centered from 8 ft away even when its exact wall coordinates are offset by furniture.

Which colorway makes the size change easiest to read?

Color can either emphasize the 3-step size progression or make the group feel softer, because each option assigns a different shade to each hoop. Houseland lists A 3PCS as black on the 7.48 in (19 cm) hoop, cream on the 9 in (23 cm) hoop, and black on the 10.6 in (27 cm) hoop; B 3PCS runs deep olive, sage green, then cream; C 3PCS runs mustard, cream, then rust.

Recommended for this use case: a reader arranging the set on a narrow vertical wall should choose B 3PCS when olive, sage, and cream suit the room, because the 10.6 in (27 cm) largest hoop defines the column width and the three shades remain visibly different across the graduated sizes. Hanging hardware is not included, so have wall-appropriate fixings ready and weigh the set on arrival before matching it to any adhesive rating.

For a warmer room with oak, clay, or terracotta tones, C 3PCS makes each ring read as a separate colored step. A 3PCS creates the strongest black-and-cream contrast. If you need a wider single piece rather than a 3-part arrangement, compare formats in the wall art collection instead of forcing these hoops to cover a wall they were not sized to fill.

What should you check before making holes?

Check the full footprint, the wall surface, and the fixing system before you commit, because this set includes the 3 hoops but no hanging hardware. For nails or picture hooks, choose a fixing that suits the actual wall material and the measured weight of the set after it arrives.

If you use removable adhesive hardware, follow the exact maker instructions rather than treating all strips as interchangeable. 3M says its 15 lb Bath Picture Hanging Strips require rubbing-alcohol surface prep, an indoor temperature of 50–105°F, and a 7-day wait after painting; the same page says not to use those strips over beds or on wallpaper.

That caution matters for a three-hoop layout because one failed point can spoil the geometry even when the other 2 pieces stay up. Recheck the centerline after the first hoop, then place the second and third from measured centers rather than from the yarn edge. The wall, fixing maker, and actual set weight should decide the hardware, while the 7.48 in (19 cm), 9 in (23 cm), and 10.6 in (27 cm) diameters decide the layout.

Questions people ask about this

Are all three hoops the same size?

No. The listed outside diameters are 7.48 in (19 cm), 9 in (23 cm), and 10.6 in (27 cm). That graduation is why a smallest-to-largest column reads as one composition rather than three identical circles.

Can I hang the hoops in a horizontal row?

Yes. Keep all three centers on one level line and keep the gaps identical. The different diameters will create the variation, so the spacing should stay consistent rather than getting wider around the 10.6 in (27 cm) hoop.

Do the hoops have to touch in a vertical stack?

No. The compact layout has the rings touching and measures about 27.2 in (69 cm) tall. The listing also gives a version with 1.97 in (5 cm) gaps at roughly 31 in (79 cm) tall, so spacing changes the total height quickly.

Does the set include hanging hardware?

No. The package contents are the three hoops, with hanging hardware excluded. Have wall-appropriate fixings ready, and if you plan to use adhesive hardware, weigh the set on arrival before choosing a rated system.

Can I use removable adhesive strips?

Only after matching the measured set weight and wall surface to the strip maker's instructions. For example, 3M's 15 lb Bath Picture Hanging Strips page says not to use that product over beds or wallpaper and says to wait 7 days after painting.

Which colorway is shown in the styled room photographs?

C 3PCS is the mustard, cream, and rust combination shown in the styled room photographs. B 3PCS is deep olive, sage, and cream; A 3PCS is black, cream, and black across the three graduated diameters.

Is this set macrame?

No. The construction is yarn wound flat across half of each hoop in parallel rows, with no knots. The open half stays visible, so rotating a ring changes the direction of the filled area without changing its circular footprint.

Can these hoops be used outdoors?

The listing designates the set for indoor use. Treat the 3 hoops as indoor wall decor and choose another product for a porch or other outdoor location rather than extending the use beyond the listed setting.

Is this wall art also a shelf?

No. These are three flat wall-decor hoops with no ledge, bracket, or surface for holding objects. If you need to display a plant, candle, or book, use an actual wall shelf instead of treating the circular frames as storage.

Can I rotate each hoop after choosing the layout?

Yes. Because each piece is round, rotation moves the yarn-filled half while the 7.48 in (19 cm), 9 in (23 cm), and 10.6 in (27 cm) footprints stay the same. Alternate the filled halves for a zigzag or align them for repetition.
