The print size guide
Most art looks wrong for one of two reasons: it's too small for the wall, or it's hung too high. Two rules fix both.
Rule 1 — the 2/3 rule
Art hung above furniture should span roughly two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Above a standard 170 cm (67″) sofa, that means aiming for about 110–115 cm of art width — one 70 × 100 cm print in a frame gets close, and a pair of 50 × 70s side by side lands right on it.
When in doubt, go bigger. Undersized art floating on a large wall is the single most common hanging mistake — a print that feels “a little big” leaning against the wall almost always feels right once it's up.
Rule 2 — eye level is 57–60 inches
Galleries hang art so its center sits 57–60 inches (145–152 cm) from the floor — average standing eye level. Measure to the center of the artwork, not the top of the frame.
Above furniture, a second constraint kicks in: leave 15–25 cm (6–10″) between the furniture and the bottom of the frame so the two read as one composition. If the two rules conflict, the furniture gap wins.
