Diagonal pieces can be the best solutions in many rooms (especially long and narrow spaces). The key is to keep the angle true - at 45 degrees. Gluing furniture to a wall is often not great for conversation and is not usually the best arrangement. Bringing furnishings off the wall creates layers in a space and adds visual interest. When it doubt, try it out! You have nothing to lose. There are many great and useful points here, but I have to disagree with one of them.
