Hang it

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

Print
24 × 36 in, filling the paper (trims 1.7 % of the picture)
Center
51¼ in (130 cm) from the floor
Above the console table
8 in (20 cm) from the console table to the frame
Ideal width
36 to 41 in over a 54 in console table
