Wait until you get everything in place first, then you'll know where to put it. If behind horizontal sofa, it could look as if it's popping up behind!

You eventually might want to pair the giraffe with something that complements it. Here are three African mudcloth art prints from soceity6.com, which can be ordered in many sizes--stack them up to the side of the giraffe, maybe? An art piece like yours will make a big statement in your living room.

I agree wait until all the other elements are in the space then post a pic here .

Agree you could stack a set of related pieces to the side (maybe charcoal abstracts or something like that? Also love the suggestions from @housegal200 ) I love the piece - so charming!

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I’m already feeling more confident that my giraffe will find a new home. Right now she is on her own wall in a perfect place and I worry she won’t be as stunning over a sofa. I will take this question down in a few days and post again with pictures once we move. Thank you again.

I love your giraffe! Can’t wait to see how you decorate her new home!
