[quote=Anonymous]OP again... besides making the room look and feel warmer/cozier, I also want to define the room to separate it from the kitchen eating area.  As it is, the back of a loveseat/sofa backs directly to the kitchen table.... which I'm not a fan of, but there is no other place to put it.  So, I also thought that by changing the flooring and having it extend as closely to the walls/edges of the room as possible, it would make that portion of this space look more defined and bigger.  Right now, the furniture just kid of looks bare on the bare wood floors (I do have a 5x7 area rug but it seems to make the room smaller).

So, if I go with a non-installed bound carpet, should I run it all the way to the walls and cut out spots for the registers/vents?  Or should I leave a 2-3 inch border of hardwood around the room (and still cut out spots for the vents).

My goal is to make the room seem as big as possible b/c it seems a little tight now.  It is hard to arrange furniture b/c the only wall for the sofa is the short end of the rectangle.  If I put the sofa on the long end of the rectangle, it is backing to the kitchen table and blocks the largest opening to the room.  I don't really like seeing the back of the long sofa.  I deal with it for the back fo the loveseat, but I don't like it with the sofa floating next to the kitchen table.
