How Much Space Should I exit Between The Sofa And a Picture Hanging Above It? Should it be like a foot or more. I appreciate anyone...

Should it be like a foot or more. I appreciate anyone helping me on this.
Answers:    Eve. You hold a number of well brought-up answers here. (it IS nice not to bump your head; although you can sustain that, by pulling the sofa out from a wall a little...)

THIS is how I settle on... (you'll need help)
Stand subsidise and watch as someone slides it UP... until you perceive, "TOO HIGH!!!" mark that point

THEN stand wager on again and have them slide it until you touch, like, "TOO LOW!!!" carve that point...

Hang it EXACTLY in the middle, between those two points!
It's QUICK and best of adjectives...

IT WORKS EVERY TIME!!! (imho)
Enough for the tallest person you know NOT to thud their head on it when sitting at hand.
