Getting tables/lamps, curtains, and art will make you notice it less. I would pull the sofa out slightly from the wall.

I’d try turning it. Can’t hurt to try.

Additionally, do you guys have advice for coffee tables and other items? I wish I knew photoshop so I can visualize options!

It looks like the right size. It's just weird because of how you placed it .. turn it leaving a foot to 1.5' of flooring showing around the perimeter. It should be centered with the window and close to the tv console.

I agree with pulling the rug away from the wall on both sides and then I’d also pull your sofa out at least a couple feet or at least try it and see how it looks

I would turn the rug and put it right up to your tv console and your keyboard. It will feel less cramped if you have wood flooring showing all the way around the rug.

Pull your sofa away from the wall, rug is a good size.

Thanks, all! I’ll try your ideas. What do you think of the rug itself? I’m not opposed to getting a new design altogether....

I like the rug. It has the colors of your walls, trim and sofa.

I like the rig. Where did you get it?

It’s from Rugs USA. I remember it has “rosette” in the name of you wanted to search for it

The rug matches your furniture. Once you pull it away from the walls and finish the space with a coffee table and an accent chair, you will see it all come together.

Move the sectional away from the wall a bit, add artwork above the couch, side tables with lamps or floor lamp. You could also place a table behind the couch with reading lamp. I am a curtain person so i would add fabric to the windows. You do need a complementary color for some contrast. When you do a few additional things, please post pics so we can see where you are going with your room. Good

Turn the rug and slide the sectional out of the corner.
