Does furniture stand?

The walls were white where the furniture once stood.

My feeling is that sit or stand could be used with furniture. However, your sentence is quite odd, as the wall/furniture relationship is shakey.

Probably the furniture protected the walls from discoloration, from smoking perhaps, or other things that over time make walls look dingy.
