It looks like you have wall to wall carpet in the room, so in that case, I don't think you need a larger area rug. I'm not a big fan of layering area rugs over carpet, but think it would help if you found an irregular shaped rug (like a cowhide or shag) or a rug that has the colors of the sofa and carpet in them-this will help tie all the colors together. Hope the pics help.

Thanks for your feedback I don't like layering either but I really want to bring in some color and I love this look if s rug ( plus it was a steal!) perhaps I'll find another place in my house for it

Danielle if you really love the rug and want to use it in the room, it might help if you turned the chairs to they were facing the ottoman instead of at an angle. I think it looks small because of the angle of the chairs. You could still probably use a bigger rug but if you turn the chairs that's another option to consider. Other ideas to brighten the room, if you keep the rug, is to get some throws that are that creamy white color in the rug and put them on the chairs and one on the sofa. Good luck! :)

I think it could work if you put the rug on the front two chair legs, instead of the couch legs. Yes, generally, the rug is under the front two sofa legs, but not always.

The rug should really extend about 2 feet on each side of sofa. Be sure to buy a rug over carpet pad. You won't be sorry. I do not like the pattern because it is so trendy now. Pick the draperies for your color. Use grommet top, hang rods close to ceiling & take down to kiss the floor. Check out Ikea.com for drapes. Have great prices, selections and widths/ heights. I do like the cowhide idea. Add pizazz!
