- Houzz I like Bobbi P.'s idea of rotating the sofa so the back faces the office chair, and her idea of putting a sofa table behind it. Here's my twist: hang a pretty, LARGE , EMPTY picture frame from the ceiling over the sofa table, so that the center of the frame is at eye level, just as it would be if it were a piece of art. The empty frame method does require a sofa table or chest under it to make it work as a room divider. Get a frame that enhances your decor, but does not detract from it.
