Oh, the case of loving the rug!! I get that. Even if you did pull it over to touch the couches as the other poster suggested it still would be very unbalanced. Kind of like a postage stamp on an envelope- it just gets lost. But this is such an easy fix!!! Buy another one! Turn them over and tape them together at the edge with Heavy-duty tape and make it look like one huge area rug. Size problem solved!
