1 DETERMINE A SIZE
Here’s a simple formula to figure out how big to go: Measure the distance from the seat of your sofa to the wall in inches and divide that by three, says Nidhi Kapur, founder and CEO of Maiden Home, a direct-to-consumer custom-furniture brand. For example, if you’re sitting 10 feet away, divide 120 (10 feet times 12 inches) by 3, and the recommended size is 40 inches. That said, in rooms with high ceilings or large expanses of wall, you can get away with (and will want) a larger screen, says Hannah Klesmith, a Best Buy in-home adviser based in central Wisconsin.
