Start with a photoQuestions
What size canvas goes above a sofa?
Aim for art about two-thirds the width of the sofa. Over a standard 84-inch sofa that is a 36-inch-wide piece, so a 24x36 hung landscape, or a 30x40 for a bolder look.
How high should I hang a canvas?
Put the center of the canvas about 57 to 60 inches from the floor. Above furniture, leave 6 to 10 inches between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the canvas.
Is my photo big enough for a large canvas?
Check it free with our photo print checker: it shows how sharp your photo prints at each size. If it falls short, turning it into art helps, because the finished art is upscaled and rebuilt as a 300-dpi print file before printing.
Can I get a landscape canvas?
Yes. Every size comes in portrait or landscape, matched to your art (for example 10x8 or 36x24).
