That's funny, because there was a joke going around many years ago that you could tell how much money someone had by how far their couch was from the wall.
Out of curiosity, I was trying to find a source for that, but didn't find much other than old Reddit threads and a 'viral TikTok trend.'

A couch is bulky furniture and in smaller rooms need to be tucked away. Also in smaller rooms even a pillow in the corner can see a wall-mounted TV anywhere in the room.
