Pick the furniture and a print size to see it to scale on your wall.

Print
24 × 36 in, filling the paper (trims 1.6 % of the picture)
Center
55¼ in (140 cm) from the floor
Above the sofa
8 in (20 cm) from the sofa to the frame
Ideal width
56 to 63 in over an 84 in sofa
Why this height
Centered at eye level, this frame would not sit 6 to 10 in above the sofa, so the 8 in gap sets the height.
In the Stable: a 24 × 36 in print hung above a sofa, drawn to scale on a 12 × 8 ft wall
24 × 36 in landscape print (61 × 91 cm), centered 55¼ in from the floor, 8 in above the sofa. Drawn to scale on a 12 × 8 ft wall.

Sharpness is worked out from the largest file the museum offers. Above 300 dpi a print holds up at arm’s length; 150 dpi is plenty for a picture seen from across a sofa.
