If your u-shaped sectional has an area for a chaise on one side, you can opt for a rectangular or round table to make it easier for everyone to reach the table's surface. This also helps to make it easier to even out the length of each side of your sectional. If your sectional features an upholstered chaise on both sides you can still make use of either table but choose one that is a little more deep as it will be able to accommodate the larger chaises.

If a sectional sofa has multiple sections, and one of them extends farther beneath the couch than the other, it's a good idea for the overall design to be well-balanced.
For a sleeker aesthetic you could also choose to place the rug in front of the sofa, taking all of its legs off of it. This will help to create an uncluttered look. It can be particularly effective in small living rooms where a sectional would typically take up a lot of space.
Rugs come in many different sizes and shapes So it is crucial to choose one that is in line with the shape of your u-shaped sectional. In most instances the rectangular or square rug will work well with a standard sectional. If your sectional is round, you might need a rug with a more unusual shape.
A curved rug can provide a unique touch to your living room, and will also create a harmonious and balanced appearance. For best results, it is best to align the rug with the long side of your sectional. This will leave the shorter sides to cover the rug a little or a lot, depending on what you prefer.

However, they may require additional attention to maintain their texture.
To prevent a throw-blanket from slipping off of your couch, Kropovinsky recommends using blanket clips or folding it in a neat manner and stacking it between cushions on the sofa. You can also place it on a decorative basket beside the couch for a stylish and practical storage. Decorated baskets can also be used as accent pieces to enhance the aesthetics of a space.
You can also place your throw on the back of a couch. The asymmetrical placement gives visual interest and emphasizes the design of the blanket. For an even more elegant look put the blanket on a tie with a belt or ribbon around its middle and then place it over one of the sofa arm.
Try displaying your throw blankets in various ways to create a cohesive and interesting look. You can drape a throw over the front of your sofa for a polished and sleek appearance, or put it on top of your couch on tables to create an look of ombre. Add a footstool with blankets on your sofa for additional comfort. This footstool is a great place to store things like pillows, mugs and books. It can also keep your feet warm.
