Huge sectional. How big of a rug and what color? Thanks so much in advance. Looking to add brown pillows.

Before deciding on a rug size, is there potentially another layout possible? It seems a shame to have the sectional/side table squeezed in like that. If interested, try turning the sectional (see below) and eventually consider side tables/lamps and place ottoman in centre/use as coffee table. Then decide how large a rug you need.

Regarding rug’s color, you mentioned you will be getting brown cushions (too dark), but only decide after you choose the rug. Look on line for ideas, as there are endless choices: content, style and price. Here’s a ”look”, but it’s really such a personal decision.

One picture of a room, with no dimensions of the space. What are we not seeing? Draw and measure the room. Show other angles and WHY WHY to "brown pillows" You're needing some extra dreary?

That is not the best location for seating in that room. Who can possibly watch TV from that angle?

Can the sectional be floated in the room so that most people sitting on the sectional can fiew the TV head on?

There's no limit to the rugs that would work. It would help if we had some sense of style for this home.

May we have more pictures of the room and as mentioned, measurements of the room?
