Is it "an" for walls and "auf" for floor?
In a purely spatial context, "auf" means "on [top of] something horizontal", and "an" means "on/against/next to a vertical surface"
Let me find the helpful picture...

Got it! I supposed that was also the explanation. That "an" in vertical position and "auf" is in horizontal. Danke!

Yeah, and I'll just mention, since it's useful to know, "an" is also for edges/boundaries, so like the shore of a body of water (river, lake, sea, etc.) or the border of a country, for example.
