You might, for example, choose a large floral pattern for one your accent cushions and smaller ones for another. Include a solid pillow or a textured one to balance out the look.
Shapes of pillows are just as important as their size, as the shape of your pillow can affect how the rest of your throw pillows appear on your sofa. A rounded or rectangular cushion with a flange gives an older-fashioned look and a pillow with an enveloping design gives a clean-lined modern look. A tufted pillow is distinguished by a raised surface stitched with a decorative strip of fabric.

Coffee Table
A coffee table is a low table that is placed on top of a sectional or couch to store drinks, snacks and other decor.

The design and style of the table should match the design of your couch and furniture design to create a harmonious look.

The standard tables are 18“ tall, however you can select one that is taller or lower based on your needs. Make sure the table does not sit too close to the sofa. This will prevent you from enjoying your TV and also prevent you from reclining comfortably.
If you have a chaise on one side of your sectional with a U-shape, choose a round or rectangle table so that everyone can comfortably reach the table. This will also help make it easier to even out the length of each side of your sectional. You can use either table type however, you should select one that is a bit deeper to accommodate the chaises.

Based on your preferences and the size of the room, you can choose an area rug that is slightly smaller than the sofa to feel anchored or go for an entirely larger one to visually expand the space.
In general, a rug should be placed in a way that the front legs of the couch rest on it. This is a common placement for living rooms of all kinds and helps keep the carpet and furniture together. While some variations are acceptable, if a sectional has multiple sections and one leg extends further under the sofa than the others, it is a good idea to choose a large rug that can fit all of them, ensuring that the overall look is a balanced one.
You can also place the rug directly in the front of the couch, with the legs removed. This gives it a more modern look. This will create a sleeker look that is particularly efficient in smaller living spaces, where a sectional sofa will typically clog the space.
Rugs come in a variety of shapes and sizes It is therefore important to choose one that is in line with the shape of your u shaped settee-shaped sectional.

Choose a synthetic fabric that is easy to clean and breathable. This includes faux fur, fleece and sherpa. Natural materials such as linen, wool, and cotton are more breathable, comfortable, and resilient than synthetics. However, they might require extra care to keep the texture.
Kropovinsky suggests using blanket clips to keep throw blankets from sliding off the couch or folding them neatly and stacking them between cushions. You can also store it in a basket that is decorative close to the couch. Baskets that are decorated can be used as accent pieces to enhance the look of a room.
You can also display your throw on the back of a couch. The asymmetrical design creates visual interest and emphasizes the design of the blanket. To create a more elegant look you can tie the blanket with a ribbon or belt around its middle and place it on top of one of the sofa arm.
If you own multiple throw blankets, consider displaying them in different ways to create an interesting and cohesive look. For example, you can place a blanket over the front of your sofa for a sleek and polished style or set it on a table next to your couch to create an unique look of ombre. If you're looking for an additional level of comfort, think about adding a footstool on your couch with a blanket.
