Can we see a bit more of the space surrounding this space. Are you planning window coverings ? I love shag rugs with leather they add texture and just look nice.

Crate and Barrel has nice rugs, as does Pottery Barn. If you can handle wool, the Baxter rugs at Crate and Barrel are nice for the price. They are thick but not soft. They come in a variety of colors and have varying tones of that color throughout.

If you can get to a mall with both stores, you can flip through the rugs in person and see what you like.

I rather like the rug you have, but would turn it in the other direction. If you have a dining area in the same space, I would try to get a matching rug for that area. Add window treatments which bring a color in the rug up onto the walls….the aqua or the tan. I like lined drapes to give privacy in the living room at night. The black fireplace dominates the space but almost hides the TV when it is off…a good thing. A few pieces of stained wood furniture are necessary….somewhere to place a drink or a book or a decorative piece. A few pieces of art can add additional interest to the walls. I would also add some color in the kitchen: a salad bowl, colored kitchen towels, even a stack of cookbooks. I like having an area rug in the kitchen where I stand while prepping meals.

Thank you! love the rug we have as well, but its gotten old, its really thin, so looking for something a little thicker, its not too comfortable to sit on anymore..thoughts on this one

Looks like you have kids, so rug needs to take that into consideration. Check out Ruggable. they have washable rugs that are kit/pet friendly. You can choose from two different pads and one is thicker/softer than the other. I think you need to go larger so the chaise portion of your sofa sits entirely on the rug. I like the seat section to be at lease 1/3 to 1/2 on the rug, chaise entirely on it, and about a foot or more of the rug extending past the two sides of the sofa.

The area rug should be running parallel to the fireplace wall. You might still get away with an 8x10 but a larger rug may look better in the space.
