Try this......move the ottoman where your coffee table is now just to see if a darker plane will give you the "anchorage" you're looking for. If that does the trick then you can either purchase a new, dark coffee table or paint the base of your existing one. I think adding an area rug will make the space seem too closed in. I like all your colors.

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:

I do! Here ya go (I wrote the colors because some of these rugs come in different ones, and I don’t know which will come up at first) ..... #1 ... “pewter”: https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/kaleen-3206/Taupe/122320627-P.html *************************************************************************************** *************************************************************************************** #2 ... “gray”: https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/kaleen-3209/Turquoise/122320975-P.html ************************************************************************************** ************************************************************************************** #3 ... https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/oriental-weavers-4178b/Stone/1324178B-P.html

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I like the idea of some blue in the rug to pull from the photo above the fireplace, but I couldn't seem to find the right blue. A lot of the carpets had too bright of a blue. I'm limited to choices though because I'll only order from somewhere that has a store in my area where I can easily return the rug if I don't like it. I've decided to give this Safavieh carpet a try, I have it on order. I'm hoping the pattern and texture will provide enough interest. I'll work on the chair after that. I wonder if a chair with blue in it will still work if I get this carpet? I can tie the chair in by adding a few more toss cushions to the couch with blue in them and a couple of blue accessories throughout the rest of the space.
