Pillows don't want to sit on leather sofas easily....they may slip down and lie flat. If that happens, here is A decorator tip: get pillows with zipper covers. Using a plastic ziplock food storage bag, pour a cup of sand into the bag, squeeze out the excess air and roll the bag into a log shape. Insert it at the zipper side of the pillow, and set the pillow zipper-side down on your sofa...it should stay upright.
A patterned rug may be the best partner for your rug...a geometric or abstract pattern should work with its modern style. The rug should include the color of the sofa. The colors in the rug should offer you one or more accent colors for accessories, walls or chairs.

Actually I have no preferences, but I need to know what best suits this sofa. I am not dure if there are rules for using round or rectangular pillows.. or about the size? please note that it has low back.

standard size is 18-20". round is hard to come by now a days, most are square. you will have to measure the back if you believe above is a problem. darn and here i was all excited.

The most difficult thing about finding pillows for this sofa is finding some that won't slide off the leather. Do you also want advice on pillow colour? I do think a shorter, rectangular pillow would suit.

What else is going on in the space? Is the photo the room where the sofa will be staying? Do you have any colour or pattern nearby?

@hatetoshop there will be a dining table of black brown color in the same room. Actually I am also confused because if you notice the yellow line on the sofas.

Will you be putting in an area rug?

havingfun is very good at finding suitable pillows. I like mixing patterns while having just a few colours. You should buy a bunch of pillows and bring them home to see what looks good to you. Something I did when looking for pillows was grab different colour t-shirts, etc from my closet and I laid them on the sofa to find first what colour worked.

@hatetoshop for now I do not want to add a rug.. what I usually see is using one patterned pillow next to another single colored pillow.

Mixing patterns isn't for everyone, but perhaps I can sway you with these

This one has green piping - if you search, there are more. It could look nice with the throw above in a muted blue... mint maybe?
