Decorative Pillows

• Decorative pillows will add both comfort and style to a blue and white striped couch. Tailor the look to reflect the overall theme, such as beach-inspired, of the room. Create a nautical look with red pillows featuring lobster and crab designs. For an Americana theme, choose pillows displaying red star patterns. Plain white or yellow pillows will give the sofa a crisp, fresh look.
  
  

Throw Blanket

• Throw blankets give sofas a warm touch. During spring and summer, choose a blanket made of a light fabric, such as cotton. Decorate with a cozy cashmere or fleece throw blanket as fall and winter approach. Pick a blue, white and yellow or red floral-patterned blanket to contrast the stripes and give the room a shabby chic style. An all-white or all-red blanket will look simple and crisp when paired with the blue and white stripes. Drape the blanket over the back of the sofa or an arm.
  
  

Artwork

• Make use of the wall space behind the sofa by hanging themed artwork. For a nautical look, choose a painting featuring a lighthouse or beach scene. Accent a country-inspired style by hanging framed images of different wildflowers, such as black-eyed Susans, poppies and snapdragons.
  
  

Coffee Table

• Take advantage of the space in front of the blue and white striped sofa with a handy and decorative coffee table. Choose a white wicker or rattan table featuring a glass top to accentuate a French country-inspired theme. A whitewashed wood coffee table or a vintage sea captain's chest will give the space a casual beach house vibe.
