When choosing pillows for your sofa take into consideration the dimensions and shape. A small-sized L-shaped couch may only have room for three pillows. However, larger U-shaped sofas can be able to accommodate up to six. Once you've determined the number of pillows needed, choose an appropriate pair of square pillows. They're the most versatile and are an ideal design for most couches. You can include lumbar or other long pillows to give you more support and a distinct design element.
Choose a few pillows that have patterns to complete your collection. It is important to vary your patterns in terms of size, since too many repetitions can make a sofa look unorganized. You might, for example pick a large floral pattern for one your accent cushions, and smaller prints for the other. Include a solid pillow or a textured one to balance out the style.
Shapes of pillows are just as important as their size, since the pillow shape can influence the way that your other throw pillows appear on your sofa. For instance the rectangular or rounded pillow with a flange gives an older-fashioned look, while a bolster pillow has an enveloping shape that gives a modern, clean-lined aesthetic. A tufted pillow is characterized by an elevated stitched surface, while a welted or corded pillow has a decorative strip of fabric sewn around an edge of a knife, giving an elegant and classic look.

Coffee Table
A coffee table is a low table that is placed behind an armchair or sectional sofa to store beverages, snacks, remotes and other decor. The size of the coffee table should be proportional to the size of your sectional or couch to ensure that it is not out of proportion. To create a cohesive look the design and style of the table should match your couch and furniture.
When choosing a coffee table to complement your u-shaped sectional, you need to take into consideration a variety of factors, including height and shape. The most common coffee tables are 18" tall, however you can pick one that is higher or lower, depending on your needs. Make sure that the table isn't close to your sofa, because it could block your view of the TV and hinder you from seated comfortably in your seat.
If your u-shaped sectional features a chaise on one side, opt for a rectangular or round table to allow everyone to access the table's surface. This will also help to equalize the length of your sectional. If your sectional includes a chaise on both sides, you can still use either type of table but choose one that is a bit deeper as this will help to accommodate the chaises that are longer.
Mirrored tables can bring the brightness and light to your living space. It can instantly open up your living space and give the illusion of a bigger space. This is particularly useful when your living space is small. Mirrored surfaces also help to reflect the light from your windows and makes it appear more light and inviting.

Some tables with upholstered seating have a hidden compartment that can be used to store blankets or on front page toys, as well as other items. These are great for those with little storage space.
Rug
Adding a rug under your u-shaped sectional sofa will give you a sense of clarity in the space. This is important, especially when the space is huge and there aren't clear lines between the seating area and the rest of the room. Based on your preferences and the size of the room you can select a rug that is slightly smaller than the sofa to make it feel more secure or opt for a larger rug to visually stretch the space.
In general, a rug is best placed so that the sofa's front legs rest on it. This is a common placement for many living rooms and can help keep the carpet and furniture together. While some variations are fine, if a sectional has multiple sections and one of the legs extends further under the sofa than others, it is best to pick a rug that can accommodate all of them, so that the overall design is well-balanced.
To create a more sleek look, you can also opt to place the rug on the sofa with all of its legs off of it. This creates a more sleek look and is particularly efficient in smaller living spaces where a sectional couch would normally crowd the space.
Rugs are available in different sizes and shapes, so it is important to select one that complements your sofa's shape. A rectangular or square rug is the most common option for a sectional that is standard. If your sectional is round, you might require a rug with an unusual design.
A curved rug can provide a unique touch to your living space, and will also create a harmonious and balanced look. It is best to align the rug with the long side your sectional. This will let the shorter sides of the rug to be overlapping a little or much depending on what you prefer.
A U-shaped sectional is a wonderful design for any space, no matter the style you like. These pieces are suitable for both smaller and large spaces, and come with an array of design options that will suit any taste.
Throw Blanket
Throw blankets can transform couches into cozy, welcoming sanctuaries. They add warmth to your furniture and can be utilized to enhance the design, color, or pattern. A couple of throw blankets with a decorative design close to hand allows you and your family to comfortably curl up on the sofa during cold winter nights. This also helps you to make the most of your living space, transforming it into a peaceful space where you can relax and spend time with your family and friends.
Be aware of the size and fabric of the throw blanket prior to selecting one. Larger throws work best on sectional sofas whereas smaller throws are ideal for individual cushions. For the most versatile option pick a synthetic blanket that is easily cleaned and breathable. This includes faux fur, fleece and sherpa. Natural materials like wool, linen, cotton and cotton are more breathable, comfortable and resilient than synthetics. However, they might need extra care to keep the texture.
To keep a throw blanket from falling off your couch, Kropovinsky recommends using blanket clips or folding it neatly before stacking it between cushions on the sofa. You can also put it in a basket that is decorative close to the couch. Baskets with decorative designs can also be used as accent pieces that can enhance the look of your room.
You can also hang a throw over the back of a couch. The asymmetrical arrangement gives visual interest and emphasizes the design of the blanket. To create a chic appearance, put the blanket on the sofa arm and tie a belt or ribbon around the middle.
If you own multiple throw blankets, consider displaying them in different ways to create an interesting and cohesive look. You can drape a blanket over the front edge of your sofa for an elegant and stylish appearance or place it on top of your couch on a table to create an ombre effect. If you're looking for an additional layer of comfort, try adding a footstool to your couch with a blanket. This footstool is an ideal place to store things like pillows, mugs and books. It will also keep your feet warm.
