What size print to hang above a sofa or bed
Aim for about two-thirds of the furniture’s width. Art that’s much narrower looks lost, and art wider than the furniture looks crowded.
Above a three-seater sofa (about 210 cm)
- Two prints: A1 or 24 × 36″ with a gap of 5–8 cm between them, about 125–130 cm wide in total.
- Three prints: A2 with 5–8 cm gaps, about 140 cm wide in total.
- One print: an A1 or 24 × 36″ works, but it will look smaller than the sofa. That’s fine if the wall is narrow.
Above a queen bed (about 155 cm)
A pair of A2 prints, or three at A3, sits well above the bedhead.
How high to hang
- Leave 15–25 cm between the top of the sofa or bedhead and the bottom of the frame.
- On an empty wall, hang so the centre of the print or group is about 145–150 cm from the floor, roughly eye level.
Why sets help
