design for living

Another great reason to pull your sofa off the wall is so you can use the space behind the sofa for stuff!

A sofa table with lighting and accessories is a great addition to what could be an otherwise empty space.

Here's another great idea -- bookcases behind your sofa. Instant art, a place for your books and a sofa all on one wall? Pretty great use of space!

I love how they color coded their book collection (read my blog posting on this) and made good use of the nook in this room.

Bookcase behind a sofa - a great use of a space -- especially in a smaller space. One wall holds bookcase and sofa! (From Feb. Better Homes and Gardens mag.)

What's behind your sofa?

Happy "pull your sofa off the wall" month! How are you celebrating?
