How big should your vision board even be?

There’s no standard size for a vision board, as it totally depends on you, your preferences, and available space as well as the way you’ll use it. There’s no exact rule of course, but make sure your vision board is large enough to accommodate everything you want to put on it and also not feel cluttered. Please find below a guide to help you decide what would be the best size for your vision board.

Common Vision Board Sizes

1. Small (8.5 x 11 inches)

Example: It looks like small corkboard, or letter sized paper.
Best For:

• Perfect for personal use in limited spaces on your desk or bedside table.
• Planners or journals (portable vision boards).
• Advantages: Easy to keep nearby and in compact.

2. Medium (18 x 24 inches)

Example: Poster board or foam board.
Best For:

• For moderate number of goals.
• Shown on a wall in your room or office.
• Advantages: It provides enough space for detailed visuals to work without overwhelming the area.

3. Large (at least 24 x 36 inches)

Example: Large foam boards or bulletin boards.
Best For:

• A large life vision board that included several life areas (career, health, travel, etc.)
• Family or group vision boards.
• Advantages: It’s great for your goals, images, and quotes, rightly so!

Aspects to Look at When Selecting the Dimension

1. Purpose

• Daily Reminder: If you’d like your vision board to be a constant visual reminder, choose a larger size and hang it somewhere prominent in your workspace or bedroom.
• Personal Reference: A smaller board might be better for private use or occasional reflection.

2. Content

• Few Goals: Small and large boards depending on how vision board focused on one or two specific goals (e.g. health or financial goals).
• Multiple Areas: A medium or large size works better the area of life the board will cover.

3. Display Space

• Think about where you’re going to position the board. Decide how long the walls (desk, shelf space) you have available are.

4. Digital vs. Physical

• Digital Boards: They aren’t sized by physical size, and they can contain as much content as you need.
• You can customize boards to fit your screen on platforms like Fix My Life AI or Canva.
• Physical Boards: Physical boards need a place to be displayed, so size matters more.
