Why transport art
Most transport images are long and lean, and hang badly when you forget it
A boat, a bike or a wingspan is shot wide, so the wall it goes on has to be wide too.
Vehicles are photographed side-on far more often than not, which makes most of these images strongly horizontal. That suits a space above a sideboard, a bedhead or a sofa, and fights you in a narrow alcove or stairwell where a portrait shape would sit better. Check the aspect ratio before you fall for the picture. Also note which way the subject points: a nose or bow aimed off the edge of the wall pulls the eye out of the room.
Scale is where people go wrong. Aim for roughly two-thirds the width of the furniture below, so a 180cm sofa wants a print near 120cm wide, not 60cm. Centre the image about 145cm from the floor, or leave 20 to 25cm of clear wall above a sideboard. Palette is usually easy — sepia, monochrome and faded chrome sit with almost any wall colour. What fails is hanging three different eras and three different colour casts together; pick one treatment and repeat it.
