Choosing a piece for the living room is one of the decisions that most shapes the character of the room where you spend the most hours at home. The wall above the sofa is usually the first thing the eye catches as you walk in, so it's worth putting real thought into the size, color and style that will suit the space. The right piece doesn't just fill a bare wall — it ties the furniture together, warms the room and says something about who lives there. This guide gathers the practical principles that will help you decide with confidence: how to measure the right size relative to the sofa, how to match the tone of the piece to the living room palette, at what height to hang it, and when canvas beats a print on glass. By the end you'll know exactly what to look for to choose a piece that feels like it belongs from the very first moment.
The most common mistake is a piece that's too small on a large wall. As a rule of thumb, the width of a piece above the sofa should be about two-thirds of the sofa's width. For a 220 cm sofa, a piece 130-150 cm wide looks balanced. When hanging several pieces together, measure the total width of the arrangement, including the gaps between them. Leave 15-25 cm of air between the edges of the piece and the ends of the sofa so the wall can breathe. In a room with a high ceiling, a vertical format or a multi-piece arrangement creates a sense of height, while a wide wall suits a horizontal rectangular format. At SRC Collection, you'll find a range of formats, from square to wide rectangle, to fit your wall precisely.
Rather than matching the piece color-for-color to the furniture, choose a work that 'speaks' to one of the existing tones in the living room — say, a tone that already appears in a cushion, a rug or a curtain. A safe method: in a neutral living room of beige and gray, a piece with a lively splash of color becomes a focal point; in a color-rich living room, a minimalist or monochrome piece calms the space. Pay attention to the scale of the style too: a broad-toned abstract suits modern design, a calm landscape lends a relaxed atmosphere, and pop art adds energy to a young space. The SRC Collection catalog includes hundreds of pieces in dozens of styles, so it's easy to find the right fit for your home's character.
A print on canvas gives a warm, matte, traditional look that converses beautifully with a homey, pleasant living room. A print on glass gives a smooth, glossy finish with depth and glow, and blends in perfectly with clean, modern design. There's no single right choice — it's about matching the lighting and the style: a very bright room may bounce glare off glass, while canvas absorbs light gently. As for hanging height: the center of the piece should sit about 145-150 cm from the floor, so it lands at eye level. Above a sofa, leave 15-20 cm between the top of the sofa and the bottom of the piece. Every piece at SRC Collection is available in canvas and glass, and is printed to order in Bet Shemesh, Israel.
The width of the piece above the sofa should be about two-thirds of the sofa's width. For example, above a 200 cm sofa, a piece 120-140 cm wide fits well. When hanging several pieces together, calculate the total width of the arrangement, including the gaps. It's better to go slightly too big than too small, which will look lost on the wall.
The accepted rule is for the center of the piece to sit about 145-150 cm from the floor, which is roughly eye level. When hanging above a sofa, leave a gap of 15-20 cm between the top of the sofa and the bottom of the piece, so the arrangement looks connected rather than floating.
Rather than matching the furniture exactly, choose a piece that converses with an existing tone in the space — say, in a cushion, a rug or a curtain. In a neutral living room, a colorful piece becomes a focal point; in a color-rich living room, a minimalist or monochrome piece balances and calms the space.
Canvas gives a warm, matte, traditional look that suits a homey, pleasant living room. Glass gives a smooth, glossy finish with depth that blends into modern design. The choice depends on your style and the room's lighting. At SRC Collection, every piece is available in both options.

Both approaches work. One large piece makes a clean, striking statement and suits a wide wall above the sofa. An arrangement of several pieces allows flexibility and an evolving story on the wall. In both cases, consider the total width relative to the sofa and keep even gaps between the pieces.
