How high should pictures be hung on a wall behind a couch?

We just got a new couch and I want to put pictures up behind it. I want to make sure they are at the right height, so people can see them when they sit down. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking maybe about 5 feet?

There's no definitive answer to this question, as it depends on personal preference and the specific dimensions of your couch and the room it's in. However, as a general guide, you'll want to hang your pictures approximately 6-8 inches above the back of your couch. This will ensure that they're at a comfortable viewing height, without being too high or too low. Keep in mind that you may need to adjust this depending on the height of your couch cushions; if they're very thick, you may want to hang your pictures a bit higher so that they're still visible.

There is no definitive answer to this question since it depends on the specific couch and living room layout. However, a good rule of thumb is to hang pictures so that the center of the image is at eye level when seated on the couch. This will ensure that the artwork is visible and can be easily appreciated. To achieve this, you may need to experiment with different heights and arrangements until you find the perfect balance.
