Room correction help

I am getting ready to start room correction.  Room is 14 x 24 x 8 ceiling,  hardwood floors.  Speakers are 9 feet apart, approx 2 1/2 ft from side walls, 28 in from front wall. Seating is 10 ft from front speakers.  This is for 2ch, ht and living room.  For esthetic purposes I was thinking of a throw rug, but I only wanted to go 7 or 8 ft long and maybe 6 ft wide. Few people said to go 10 x 8, but it would not look great esthetically.  Is this an issue.  I will be doing large side panels for first and second reflection point that have pictures,  probably james dean theme. This is my loving room and want to keep it nicely decorated.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Throw we picked out is flokati about 1 1/2 to 2 inch thick.
Thanks Pete

I've had bad luck with keeping Flokati rugs clean and in good condition. Even though the thick pile seems attractive, it isn't necessarily as dense as other rugs and the density of absorption is what you care about.

In terms of rug size, covering the reflection points would be the first criteria. And additional coverage will depend on how you want the room to end up.

We're using a somewhat dense pile woven oriental rug to good effect.
