With a sectional that turns the corner, I would choose the rug from the full furniture footprint rather than only the 6-ft opening. A 5x7 will probably read as too small. Before ordering, tape out an 8x8 square and an 8-ft round: ideally the front legs of every sectional section should sit on the rug, with enough rug showing beyond the seats while keeping the walkways clear.

A round rug does not require a round coffee table. An oval table can be especially useful here because it softens the sectional's angles and is easier to move around; a compact rounded rectangle can work too. With the gray upholstery and butterscotch-toned floor, a warm ivory or taupe base with muted charcoal or rust detail could connect both colours.

I’d go much bigger and put full sectional on it - maybe 10x14, then you’d have rough room for end tables etc. pull sectional 6-12” off wall. Tape out different sizes?

Will there be other seating in the room besides the sectional? If so, the rug should consider the whole seating area, and a rectangular rug (larger than 5x7) would probably work well.

The rug should be large enough to span the sectional and perhaps a few chairs.

The couch faces the wall with the TV so there isn’t much more space. Here’s another couple photos to show that the room isn’t that big (we will be replacing the Tv cabinet as well).

lots of options for your living space. Look for an 8 x 10 area rug.

I'd look for a large round ottoman or coffee table like this. If you choose an upholstered ottoman you can always add a large solid serving tray for a hard tabletop finish.

Thanks — the wider views make a rectangular rug look safer than jumping straight to a 10 × 14. I’d tape out an 8 × 10 first, with the 8-foot side spanning the sectional and the front legs of every sectional section on the rug. Check that this footprint still leaves a clear route to the TV wall and the replacement cabinet. If it crowds that path, compare it with an 8 × 8 square rather than centering a smaller rug only in the 6-foot opening.

I would settle the rug footprint before choosing the coffee table; an oval table can soften the sectional’s angles without taking as much visual space as a large round table. What are the sectional’s full outside width and depth, and the clear distance from the front of the sectional to the TV wall/new cabinet? Those measurements will make the 8 × 10 versus 8 × 8 decision much safer.

The outside measurements are 114” along both sides. There’s about 30” from the wall edge to the TV (if you were to draw a straight line toward the window). I laid out a sheet in an 8x8 and that seems about right. I appreciate the advice to set the rug first and then decide on the table.

I went through the same thing with our sectional and ended up with a rectangular rug and a round coffee table. The round table was the best part, honestly, because nobody bangs a shin on a corner when they walk around it, and it softens all those straight lines. I did the same sheet test on our floor before ordering, and it is what kept me from buying one that was too small.

Not sure about rug size but I love the Noguchi coffee table for sectionals . I hang all my art before choosing a rug .

Agree with others that 5x7 is much too small. With super large furniture like yours, you need super large accessories like your rug, coffee table, art, pillows, tv cabinet, etc.

Hopefully you’re able to add some color to the room.

The rug needs to ground the seating area and feel proportionate in room. Try taping out different sizes. I’d also look for a substantial coffee table that is easily accessible to everyone. Also…before you choose either, look on line at inspiration rooms that resonate with you.

Tape it out, should ”ground” the space. As suggested, I would go for a large round coffee table, less banging of shins & would soften the straight lines.

If necessary, you could actually get a piece of carpet cut and bound to any size. But you should be able to find an area rug size that will work for you. Your sectional is fairly large; so in terms of proportions - a rug that covers more of the area could balance the space.

I think an ottoman style coffee table in a leather or faux leather could be attractive, as well as useful for you; with a tray, it works as a coffee table - and it can also double as a foot rest for your TV space. Plus, if you have children and/or children visiting - an ottoman is always the safe choice.

If you like the sconce idea, there are many battery operated sconce options; some are available with remote control and dimmable. Alternatively, you could use a battery operated picture light there. Check Amazon.

I would first pull the sectional away from the wall a bit and move the tv to the right to center with the sofa and not the wall.

Agree with Renee. I’d move the TV and console to the right. I’d eliminate those framed photos and also the clock above the TV. I like Maureen’s suggestion on rug size.

Your 8 × 8 sheet test is a useful starting point. Before ordering, sit in the corner and both end seats to check where your feet land, then walk around it toward the TV cabinet. If the sectional’s front legs sit comfortably on the sheet and that route stays clear, the square footprint makes sense to keep considering.

Would you prefer a flatter rug or a softer pile? If you share your budget and delivery country or ZIP, I can see whether any of our Moroccan rugs would suit.
