What colors do you have in the living room? All I can see from your picture is the purple flowers in the throw pillows. I happen to think a purple area rug would look fabulous with all your wood tones in the dining room and kitchen.

Go bold but remember, a good area rug is not cheap and buying something too bold will look dated quick and can be a regret later. Definitely go with some color though. You need some color. Maybe one of these from Overstock. They aren't too expensive and if you don't like it they'll take it back: http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Mandara-Hand-tufted-Purple-Floral-Wool-Rug-7-x-10/6027826/product.html?refccid=BJUWRWJZQ7ML4K2J4N323P7N5E&searchidx=320; http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Handmade-Alexa-Prive-Plum-Floral-Pattern-Wool-Rug-76-x-96/5512585/product.html?refccid=RUPX4LKMDZN23U2DFPB6CPF5CI&searchidx=133; or http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Hand-tufted-Malene-B-Destinations-Geometric-Wool-Rug-8-x-11/8095875/product.html?refccid=CZBCNCV4EW6JM7CBUWIGAAZSIU&searchidx=516

Well, I'm not a Overstock fan, been stung by them with every purchase. Maybe you'll get lucky. You might Lowe's, Home Depot or Homegoods (sp?). That way you'll be able to see it before you get it. Also, I would try a round rug under your table. It would soften the room and look nice under your table. Another place is Tuesday Morning. They are hit and miss, but have gorgeous rugs when you can find them. Stumom is right about color.
