If you think about it, who actually wants to see the back of a sofa? While you might think pushing your sofa against a wall is the solution to the unsightly sofa back, many of us who have used their couch to zone their space are faced with the problem of a boring sofa back that feels like it shouldn't be seen.
We all focused on styling around a couch, perfecting the coffee table setup, or nailing a bookshelf display, but the often-overlooked (and often awkward) space behind the sofa is usually forgotten. You might choose to combat this by sticking with convention and pushing your couch up against the perimeters of your living room, but for those of us craving more intimate layouts in which the sofa floats in a room, the question of what to do with this blank canvas remains.
