- 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.
