We have moved into a new home and the carpet in living room looks new and we love it apart from.. there is a dark patch where it has worn as the lady before us sat in one spot on the sofa and it seems to have ruined the carpet 🙈.. we can't really afford to get the whole carpet replaced get and as said above, the rest looks brand new.. it's in a spot right by our sofa so was going to get a rug but not sure it will look right as will have to put it under the sofa.. does anyone have any ideas I havnt thought of?....

Cut out the stain in a square then cut out the same size square from under the sofa where the carpet is nice and new looking and swap them over.

Sorry to be obvious but have you actually scrubbed that bit?
There was a similar dark bit where DH sits. He happened to knock a drink over so had to clean that bit of carpet (hot water & washing powder) & it came up clean & looks like new again. He doesn’t even wear shoes in the house so it’s just off his slippers.

A table, with an artfully arranged collection of 'stuff' on it?

Get it professionally cleaned. It will probably come out.
