Choosing the right art size above the sofa is the single decision that affects how the living room looks more than anything else. A precisely sized piece creates a sense of balance and polish, while a piece that's too small gets swallowed by the wall and leaves a feeling of something missing. The guiding rule is simple: the width of the piece should reach 60 to 75 percent of the sofa's width. In this guide you'll find clear numbers by your sofa length, the recommended hanging height in centimeters, and how to decide between a single piece and a set. At SRC Collection, we help you choose the size from a catalog of hundreds of pieces in dozens of styles, each printed in Israel, made to order and at gallery quality.
The safe way to calculate is to multiply the sofa's width by 0.66 to 0.75, and that's the desired width of the piece or set. A small 180 cm sofa suits a piece 120 to 135 cm wide. A standard three-seat sofa 200 to 220 cm long suits a width of 130 to 165 cm. For a large or sectional sofa 240 cm and up, aim for 160 cm wide and up, or a set that spans a similar length. Avoid a piece narrower than half the sofa's width — it will look lost. For height, a landscape-orientation piece flatters the horizontal line of the sofa more.
Even the perfect size will look wrong if it's hung too high, and that's the most common mistake. Leave a gap of just 15 to 25 cm between the sofa's backrest and the bottom of the piece, so the art and the furniture read as one unit rather than floating apart. The center of the piece should land at about 145 to 155 cm from the floor, the standard eye-level height used in gallery design. For a set of pieces, treat the whole group as a single rectangle and apply the same spacing rule, keeping an even distance of 5 to 8 cm between the pieces.
For a calm, modern wall, a single wide piece is the cleanest choice. For a long wall, or when you want to add depth, a set of two or three allows flexibility in sizing without giving up presence. Either way, it's better to err toward the large: the human eye forgives an impressive piece far more than one that's too small. If you're torn between sizes, get in touch at 054-776-0643 and we'll fit the exact size to your living room together.

The width of the piece should reach 60 to 75 percent of the sofa's width. For a three-seat sofa 200 to 220 cm long, that means a piece 130 to 165 cm wide. This keeps a balanced proportion between the furniture and the art.
Multiply the sofa's width by 0.66 to 0.75 and you get the desired width of the piece. A 180 cm sofa suits a piece about 120 to 135 cm wide. We're glad to calculate it with you by phone at 054-776-0643.
Leave just 15 to 25 cm between the sofa's backrest and the bottom of the piece, so the center of the piece lands at about 145 to 155 cm from the floor. Hanging too high is the most common mistake.
Both work. A single wide piece suits a clean, modern living room, while a set of two or three blends beautifully on a long wall. In a set, keep an even gap of 5 to 8 cm between the pieces.
A piece narrower than half the sofa's width gets swallowed by the wall and creates a sense of imbalance. When in doubt, always err toward the large — an impressive piece flatters the space far more than a small one.
The pieces are printed on canvas or glass, at gallery quality, starting from about 350 shekels. Every piece is printed in Israel in Bet Shemesh, made to order and shipped nationwide within up to 18 days delivery.
