  • Above the Sofa: That space above your sofa is a great place to hang a piece of artwork that you would like to take a featured place in your room. Try hanging a picture approximately five to nine inches above the sofa - just be sure to leave enough room for people to rest their arms along the back of the sofa. Pictures in their frames should be about three-quarters of the length of the sofa itself.

Answer

There is no definitive height for pictures above a couch. However, it should be at eye level for viewing if you are standing. Center multiple pictures in a grouping above the couch.

What is the Standard placement of a picture?

There is no one standard placement for a picture. The placement will depend on the type and size of the picture, and the relative position of the person looking at the picture. The general answer, is hang the picture so that the focal point of the picture is at eye level of the observer. In practice, this means, for example, if you have a large picture to put on a wall in a sitting room, where it will mostly be viewed by people sitting down, than hang the picture fairly low so that people don't have to look up to view the picture. It is a common mistake to hang pictures in sitting rooms at eye level of standing people (or even higher!). On the other hand, if a picture is to be located so that it is viewed by people standing, for example in a hallway, or in an art gallery, then hang the picture at eye level, again so that people don't have to look up or down to view the picture. Another factor which will influence the placement of a picture is whether the picture is to hang by itself or to relate to other pictures - there are a whole extra set of guidelines to be followed when hanging pictures together!

You don't need to hang it too high tht it looks really wierd or too low that you can easily bang your head on the picture . Here is my advise, if you have kids and they love to climb onto your couch well then you should just hang it higher than you intend it to be so they won't scratch it or make it dirty.
