Morphology
The meaning 'a decorative painting designed to hang above or near a sofa' is directly derivable from combining 'sofa' (a seat) with 'painting' (a painted artwork): it denotes a painting associated with or intended for a sofa area. This noun–noun attributive compound follows common English and cross‑linguistic patterns (e.g., 'bedroom painting', 'sofa cover'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The compound noun sofa painting comes from the simple idea of hanging a painting above a sofa so the picture becomes the room's center and helps 'complete' the space. That's why the term now means a decorative picture chosen to 'go with' or 'match' the sofa.
