Can you rotate the rug 90°? I think that would solve your challenge.

Your room is definitely screaming for some color and life. Since the whole room is neutral, we're going to have some fun with this project. You have 2 choices when you decorate. Your area rug size is ok, just to blah . First choice pick a contemporary or modern area rug, pick the strongest color from the carpet use as your color theme.

Second choice can be a modern or contemporary art piece , pick the strongest color from the art and decorate around the color. Add a large palm, or banana plant in either corner. I'd use a large floor lamp in between the sofas. As far as the your coffee table idea, use a large square ottoman instead. Your sofa pillows choices are crucial , just look at decorating the sofa with a fiesta party feel. Make sure you stick with that one strong color from either the artwork or area rug. Over stock.com has great choices for area rugs and art. Another idea is face both the luv seat and sofa towards is other.

Just my 2 cents

so since you don;t exist, there are no ideas of what you like?
