Two-thirds of the furniture's width is the rule we use above a sofa, a console or a sideboard.

Before guests arrive

Three steps for the sofa wall.

1. Measure the sofa

Measure its width, then check the table below for the art width.

2. Choose one wide piece

Pick the piece first. Keep the wall around it clear.

3. Light it

A warm-white bulb, often labeled 2700K, is a good place to start.

The Endless Frame

Change the art with the season.

Buy the frame once, then change the art whenever you like. An Endless Frame stores up to three mounted prints and up to 50 prints laid flat inside it. Your living room can change with the seasons.

Questions about living room wall art

How high should you hang art above a couch?

Leave 8 to 10 inches between the top of the couch and the bottom of the frame.

How big should art be above a couch?

About two-thirds of the couch's width. Above an 84-inch sofa, that is roughly 56 inches of art.

Should I hang one piece or a group?

Either works. One striking piece holds a room in a way a crowded grouping rarely can, and a three-piece set has more rhythm. For a group, leave three inches between frames.

What is the best art for a living room?

There is no single answer. Warm tones suit a room where people settle in, wide pieces suit a sofa wall, and coastal views bring light. Choose a piece you will enjoy for years.

How do I stop glare on the art?

Hang the piece on a wall beside a window, not across from it. On an Endless Frame, you can also remove the acrylic glass.

Is the art real?

Yes. Every piece is by a real artist, and our art is 100% AI-free.

Where do you make your frames?

Our frames are hand-crafted from solid White Oak, and every order is produced here in the USA.

Your turn

Measure once, then welcome them in.

Choose your piece, check the width, and let your first guest walk into a wall that feels ready.
