The Space Above the Sofa

Many companies sell units ready to hang.  Use a laser level for precision.

Most sofas spend their existence sitting against a wall. But it needn’t be this way. Sofas look wonderful in front of a bank of windows. Mine floats perpendicular to the fireplace.

But since in most homes the sofa is in its expected place against the largest open wall, there is an area above it that needs addressed. A large picture will suffice. Or a collection of smaller prints, grouped as one large.

Rebecca purchased a wall system from At Home America. I worked with her yesterday to hang it. We incorporated a large clock from their collection. Two of the rods have clips that will hold four yet to be bought black frames.

Coincidentally, when I got home I had an email from a client who has been working with me on her apartment. She sent me a picture what she had just done with her blank space above the sofa. She hung squares of Amy Butler fabric on canvases. The colors are wonderful and give life to the white walls.

Squares of Amy Butler fabric, purchased from ebay, hang above a sofa.
