What size brick mosaic should I get?
Three preset sizes, one easy decision. Here's how they compare in real dimensions, how many bricks each takes, and which one most people choose.
The sizes at a glance
- Small: 48×48 studs (≈ 38 × 38 cm), 2,304 bricks. A tabletop keepsake for a shelf, desk or windowsill. Our entry size, from £49.
- Medium: 64×64 studs (≈ 51 × 51 cm), 4,096 bricks. The most-popular pick: reads across a room, fills a wall spot above a desk or mantel. From £79.
- Large: 80×80 studs (≈ 64 × 64 cm), 6,400 bricks. A statement piece for a hallway or feature wall, with the finest detail. From £119.
Every stud is the standard 8 mm pitch, so the centimetre sizes are exact. Each mosaic comes with a free brick-built frame and free UK delivery.
Which one fits your spot?
- Shelf, desk or nursery → Small. It sits without dominating and travels easily as a gift.
- Above a fireplace, desk or in a hallway → Medium. The safe, most-loved choice for a gift you want people to notice.
- A feature wall or a group photo → Large. More bricks means faces and detail read clearly, even up close.
Bigger = more detail
A brick mosaic renders your photo one brick per cell, so more bricks means finer detail. A single close-up face reads beautifully even at the Small size; a group shot, a pet with fine fur, or a photo with lots going on rewards going a size up.

Common questions
How big is a brick mosaic?
Sizes run from a tabletop 48×48-stud piece (about 38×38 cm, 2,304 bricks) up to a statement 80×80 piece (about 64×64 cm, 6,400 bricks). Every stud is the standard 8 mm pitch, so the dimensions are exact.
What size mosaic should I get for a gift?
Most gift-buyers pick the middle size (64×64, about 51 cm square) — big enough to read across a room and fill a wall spot, without dominating it. Smaller sits nicely on a shelf; larger is a proper feature piece.
Does a bigger mosaic look more detailed?
Yes. More bricks means finer detail — faces, eyes and fur read more clearly at the larger sizes. A busy photo or a group shot benefits most from going bigger.
Can I pick a custom size?
