For instance, you could, choose a large floral design for one of your accent cushions and smaller ones for another. Lastly, include the option of a solid or textured pillows to balance the look.
The shape of the pillow is just as important as its size. It can impact the appearance of other pillows on your couch.

Be sure the table isn't too close to your sofa, as this can hinder your view of the TV, and also prevent you from sitting comfortably in your seat.
If you have a chaise on the one side of your u-shaped sectional, select a rectangle or round table so that everyone can comfortably reach the table. This can also help to make it easier to even out the length of each side of your sectional. If your sectional has a chaise on both sides, you can still make use of either table but you should select one that is a little deeper as this will help to accommodate the chaises that are longer.

To create a more sleek look, you can also opt to place the rug on the sofa with the legs completely off of it. This can create a a more streamlined look and is particularly useful in small living spaces where a sectional is likely to overtake the space.
