Hang it

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

Print
17½ × 20 in, the whole painting on 20 × 20 in paper
Center
66 in (168 cm) from the floor
Above the headboard
8 in (20 cm) from the headboard to the frame
Ideal width
40 to 45 in over a 60 in headboard
Why this height
Centered at eye level, this frame would not sit 6 to 10 in above the headboard, so the 8 in gap sets the height.

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.
