Should I buy a neutral rug and add color with pillows, throws etc or should I buy a rug with color?

Do a colorful rug that pulls all the colors in the room together. Pillows aren't going to do it by themselves. And the pillows can still be colorful and patterned with a colorful rug. And make sure it is a big rug.

honestly the rug I got at crate and barrel would look great in your space. It has color but it honestly isn't busy and is just really elegant. I have it in "garden" and it would work well with what you have. My friend has it in "Mineral Blue" and it would work with what you're doing here as well. Both are gorgeous in person. https://www.crateandbarrel.com/alvarez-garden-hand-tufted-rug/f59304

Since you already have coral around, we recommend getting a rug that has some of those colors in it to tie everything together.

Try tucking it under the couch a bit. The placement is off but I think the size should work. What size is it?

yes, I am going to tuck it under couch as I think it feels unbalanced to me. It is a 9x12.
