This is very subjective and there are other factors to consider... but personally, I like thirds: 1/3 the width of the sofa, 2/3 the size, the same width, or 1 1/3 the size.
However high it looks right!
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.AnswerThere is no definitive height for pictures above a couch. However, it should be at eye level for viewing if you are standing. Center multiple pictures in a grouping above the couch.
7 feet
The height artwork is placed on the wall is determined more by the use of the room and the people who frequent it than by the size of the wall. In most rooms the artwork should be hung at approximately eye level (for were you are most likely to be viewing it - standing, sitting, reclining). If for example you are hanging artwork in an entrance area or hallway, the paintings should be higher (because you will be viewing them standing) than if you are hanging them in a dinning area or living room (where you spend most of your time seated). In stairways the artwork should be hung in a progressively elevated manner (like the stairs). This gives the viewer more comfort and ease of viewing. If you are doing a large display of many different sized paintings it is best to pick one or two "anchor" pieces and hang them at the optimum height, then make a pleasing grouping with the other pieces at varying heights to keep the viewer's eye moving through out the display. There are some people who like to hang one or a small grouping of paintings over the sofa in the living room, and this works well as long as they are not hung so high as to make your neck ache to look at them, nor so low, they are easily bumped by the heads or arms of people sitting on the sofa. Single pieces hung over mantles should have ample room beneath them so that items set on the mantle do not obstruct the subject of the painting. In bedrooms, many people hang artwork over the head of their beds, the height of the headboard will determine the placement of the artwork... however if the headboard is especially tal you may want to choose a longish horizontal piece of a collection on smaller pieces that can be arranged in a horizontal manner. One of my favourite placement for a painting was in my grandmother's bedroom, she had a small petite-point piece in an ornate frame hung at shoulder level (when seated) next to her favourite reading chair. I have often borrowed that placement when trying to create a "personal space".
Two options come to mind... 1) a neutral colour, in a textured material (raw silk in ivory or white / nubbily cotton in taupe) will give interest, privacy, and block some or all of the light without competing (or clashing) with the existing colours... or 2) a smooth woven fabric (stripes, geometric or random pattern) picking up both of the existing colours and possibly adding neutral or complimentary colours - from which to draw for additional furnishings and accessories.

As long as your family can walk through it.
over 82 inches long
Hang the picture so the center of the picture is at eye level to the average person standing in front of the sofa. But, be sure that if someone sitting on the sofa, leans back, that their head doesn't hit the picture.
The length of a sofa varies. Some company make them (in inches) in the 70's, some in 80's and 90's. There are also sometimes sofas that are over 100 inches long.
It depends on how high and long you want it. Generally the sofa table is behind the sofa near the top of the sofa. However, if you don't want too much showing over the sofa you would want one lower towards the middle of the sofa.
A standard sofa is about 7.5 or 8 feet long.
The length of a typical living room sofa ranges from 76 to 92 inches. A typical living room sofa should be able to seat at least three people comfortably. The length of the sofa should be determined by the size of the living room, the sizes of the other pieces in the room and ones personal preferences.
If your living room were going to be vacant for quite a long time, then you may consider putting a plastic cover over it to protect it from dust and grime. Otherwise there really is no need to use one. If you are concerned about ruining your furniture with stains, you should look into purchasing a fabric slip cover or treating your sofa with a product like Scotchguard.
