Displaying artwork or pictures over a couch is an easy way to create a focal point in your living room. Here are a few tips to get the job done well!
What is the right size?
As a general rule of thumb, your picture should not be wider than the couch as this will overwhelm the furniture rather than enhancing it. In order to create balance in your space, your artwork or gallery should be close to 2/3 the length of the couch.
How high should I hang my picture?
When hanging above a couch, the bottom of your artwork or frame should hang 8” to 10” above the back of the sofa. It is important to hang your artwork low enough so you can enjoy it while you are sitting.
How far apart should pieces be spaced in a gallery?
When hanging a grouping of pictures, you should leave 2” to 5” between each frame for a balanced look.
