The ideal height to hang art over a sofa is about fifty seven inches from the floor to the center of the artwork. This measurement places the art at eye level for most adults, creating a balanced and comfortable viewing experience. Measuring from the floor rather than the sofa ensures consistent placement regardless of furniture size. To hang, center the piece horizontally over the sofa and leave around six to twelve inches of space between the top of the sofa and the artwork. This approach allows your art to anchor the seating area naturally, enhancing the room’s flow and personality.
