Art above a sofa: what size?

Aim for about two thirds of the sofa’s width. Above this 220 cm sofa that is roughly 145 cm of art: one wide piece reads calm, a pair fills the line, a row of three makes it the main wall.

Questions

How high above the sofa?

Leave 20–25 cm between the sofa back and the bottom of the frame, so the art belongs to the sofa rather than the ceiling.

One large print or several?

One piece is calmer and easier to place; a pair or a row covers more wall at the same height and lets you mix sizes later.
