Statuary. I have a dog that was a garden thinngie and I decided I wanted to put it inside. I put it at the end of the sofa. I change things around, so I will take it out this weekend and replace with a bunny there. My bunny is muted washes of sages and grayed whites, and he has a plate in his hand. I can place a small basket of colored eggs, a drink and a snack or a small bouquet of flowers. I also have a garden stool that I like to use in summer, which is round. I, too, have a sectional but my cocktail table is quite different from yours so I understand that might make a difference as far as balancing weight. My cocktail table is 36 x 36 and wrought iron with wide wood plank top, but very open and airy on bottom. If you have lots of coffee table books, you could stack them into a table of sorts and if you no longer wanted to read them, just place a piece of glass atop them to create tabletop.

This is a pretty room with too much Hobby Lobby decor. You've got vases of sticks in display niches. Reminds me of a hotel lobby. Find something you love and want to look at every day to put there. I chose a couple of ethnic artifacts, but it could be art glass, or antique pieces. Here are a couple of rugs that will work better in your room:

thought i.would also show some additional ideas for pillows, again using your inspiration pics as a guide https://www.etsy.com/listing/635327961/sanderson-fabrics-chelsea-sageivory-self https://www.etsy.com/listing/739898383/ivory-orange-and-gray-plaid-pillow-cover https://www.etsy.com/listing/745300715/beige-and-gray-stripe-pillow-cover https://www.potterybarn.com/m/products/maddie-textured-pillow-cover/?pkey=call-pillows-throws-slipcovers&isx=0.0 https://www.potterybarn.com/m/products/belgian-linen-contrast-flange-pillow-cover/?pkey=call-pillows-throws-slipcovers&isx=0.4 https://www.potterybarn.com/m/products/faye-textured-linen-pillow-cover/?pkey=call-pillows-throws-slipcovers&isx=0.0 https://www.potterybarn.com/m/products/washed-velvet-pillow-covers/?pkey=call-pillows-throws-slipcovers&isx=0.0

Good advice from Maureen. Thought: that’s a big ottoman to put in the walkway to the room. Would you share more photos of the living room? I ask, because the gray chairs look like swivels. Might they look better positioned on either side of fireplace, using the ottoman as a coffee table?
