Patterns on furniture

I have always been a big believer in neutrals and solids on the large pieces of furniture. Now that I have a huge 12 foot long vintage sofa with an obnoxious pattern on it- I find myself drawn to other patterned pieces of furniture.... like these....

Now, I can't have any one of these (due to the above mentioned sofa) but I think these would really perk up a room with a big neutral sofa....
