A great way to take advantage of the exposed space behind a sofa is by selecting a console table to stand against the back of the couch. Not only does it allow for more items to be placed against the walls because the console table does not occupy them, but it is a choice way to decorate the back of your couch. To create fluid contrast in your living room, choose a table in a warm wood tone that accentuates the beauty of a gray sofa.
