The style of a u-shaped sofa demands an in-depth analysis of its primary function and overall room layout. Add a coffee table and throw pillows to complete the style.
Throw Pillows
The right pillows can transform a couch from ordinary into an inviting space to unwind and relax. They can bring warmth and comfort to your living room as well as adding color and pattern. You can choose from a variety of designs which range from basic solid-colored throw pillows to intricately embroidered or printed throw pillow covers.

When choosing pillows for your sofa take into consideration the size and shape. A compact L-shaped sofa may only accommodate three pillows. However, larger U-shaped sofas can be able to accommodate up to six. After you've decided how many pillows you'll need, begin by choosing a pair of matching square ones. They're the most versatile, and they are ideal for couches of all types. You can also add lumbar cushions or other cushions that are longer to give you additional support and a unique design element.
Then, choose a few pillows with patterned designs to complete your collection. It is essential to mix up your patterns in terms of size since too many repetitions can make a sofa look cluttered. You might, for example opt for a floral design for one of your accent cushions and smaller ones for another. Lastly, include the option of a solid or textured pillow to balance the overall look.
The shape of the pillow is as important as its size. It can affect the look of the other pillows on your couch. A rectangular or rounded cushion with a flange offers an older-fashioned look, while a pillow with an enveloping form gives a clean-lined modern look. A tufted pillow is characterized by a raised stitched surface while a corded or welted pillow features a decorative strip of fabric that is sewn around the edge of a knife, providing an elegant and classic look.
You can choose to sew your pillows with different threads or trims to give an element of color and texture. Throw pillows can also be made from materials such as faux fur or wool that are soft and warm and provide a more natural look. They are also a greener alternative to cotton and synthetics, since they're sustainable and environmentally friendly.
Coffee Table
A coffee table is a low table that is placed in front of the couch or sectional to store beverages remotes, snacks, and other accessories.

To create a harmonious appearance the design and style of the table should match your couch and furniture.
When selecting a coffee table for your u-shaped sectional, you need to be aware of a few aspects, such as size and height. Standard tables are 18" tall, but you can pick one that is taller or lower based on your needs. Make sure the table isn't too close to the sofa. This could prevent you from enjoying your television and prevent you from sitting comfortably.
If you have a chaise on one side of your u-shaped sectional, pick a rectangular or round table so that everyone can easily access the table. This will also help even out the length of each side of your sectional. If your sectional has an upholstered chaise on both sides it is possible to use either type of table but you should select one that is a little deeper, as this will allow to accommodate the chaises that are longer.

Some upholstered coffee tables have a hidden storage area that can be used to store toys, blankets and other clutter. They are perfect for those with little storage space.
Rug

Based on your preferences and the size of the room you can select a rug that is slightly smaller than the sofa to feel anchored or go for an entire larger one to visually extend the space.
A rug should generally be placed so the front legs rest on the rug. This is the norm for a wide variety of living spaces and can help to keep the carpet and furniture unified and streamlined. While some variations are acceptable when a sectional is made up of multiple sections and one leg extends farther beneath the sofa than others it is recommended to select a rug that will accommodate each of them, so that the overall appearance is well-balanced.
You can also choose to place the rug directly in the middle of the couch with the legs removed. This will give it a sleeker look. This will give you a an edgier look and can be particularly effective in small living rooms where a sectional is likely to crowd the room.
u shaped sectional couch are available in various sizes and shapes, so you need to select one that complements your sofa's shape. In most cases, a rectangular or square rug will be a good fit for the standard sectional. If your sectional is round, you may require a rug with an unusual design.
A curved rug can add a unique element to your living room while maintaining a balance with the sofa, creating a harmonious look. It is recommended to align the rug with the long side of your sectional. This will allow the shorter sides of the rug to overlap some or all depending on what you prefer.

You can also store it in a basket that is decorative close to the couch. Decorated baskets can also be used as accent pieces to improve the aesthetics of a space.
Another way to display a throw blanket is to drape it over the couch's back. The asymmetrical design adds visual interest and highlights the design. To give it a more elegant look put the blanket on a tie with a ribbon or belt around its middle, and place it over one of the sofa arms.
