The first seems to resemble what's in the room already... but what does the adjoining area look like?

That's so cool of you! THANK YOU! I will take more pictures and post now! Thank You!

i like the first option for the rug the best. Stay away from rugs that are too dark. You want to try and find a contrast with the floors.

Good luck!

OK.

You enter in the Townhouse and you have a hallway, to the left is the Kitchen, to the right are the stairs going upstairs....You walk down the hallway and to the left is the Living Room and to the Right is my home office. Then you have sliding doors to the outside. Those are mirrors!

I already tried putting the couch in front of the fireplace/TV but it breaks up the space too much! and I didn't like it.

I'm trying to finish everything up. I need a new Rug, but also, there is a Rug underneath the DR table (white marble with black iron legs)

I am replacing the DR chairs as well.

I was thinking opposite the couch (behind me desk chair) I will put 2 small ottomans for more seating instead of chairs, since the chairs may be too large. Picture below.

Cute townhouse! You already have darker blinds, pillows and chairs, so I'd choose a lighter rug that also complements your DR rug.

Hi Princess, I have survived a rug dilemma and would like to suggest Wayfair.com. They have mind-blowing options and you can search by one color or several and by size. Best thing is ... you can create a favorites palate and just keep adding things to "Favorites" as in "living room" that are even close to your liking. Then revisit, revisit, shop, etc. until you get down to your favorites. What size are you looking for?

Did a quick search for your project ... guessing 5 x 7 or 6 x 9:

Idea #1

Finally, Idea #3

I'm thinking a 5' x 8'. I had a larger rug (beige/light grey) and later realized that a smaller one will be better, so that more of the wood is exposed.

Do you think I should go with a blue rug, or keep it light and maybe grey, so I can keep it neutral?

What colors are in your DR rug?

JUST grey medium-dark. There is a picture above

I like the rugs that pineseverywhere posted. It looks like the blues in them would coordinate well with your shades. If they have too much blue for you maybe something like this one from Overstock.com would work.

It looks like grays in the rug above would coordinate with the gray rug under your table. Speaking of the rug under your table, it looks like yours is a bit too small. I think the "rule of thumb" is that a rug under a dining table should have a 18- 24" of rug space around all sides of the table. If you removed the rug from under the dining table you wouldn't have to worry about the living room competing or coordinating with it.

Here is a link to the Overstock rug:

Thanks for all the pictures…it really helps putting things in perspective. I see why you would not want that couch facing the fireplace.

Tell me about the rug under the dining table. Do you love it? I ask because it is too small for the table, but would be a good size for under the coffee table.

Yes! that was my next thought! Maybe I can put that rug under the coffee table (dark grey with texture Trellis) and leave the DR open or get a new rug for the DR that is larger...but honestly, I'm thinking no! I hate chairs having to be picked up every time.

So, for now, I thin this is what we will do.

Thank You!

I am going to change the DR chairs though! I want something smaller and less bulky.
