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

Print
24 × 36 in, filling the paper (trims 5.1 % 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.
