You can look for an area rug, or you can go to a carpet store and have them cut some carpet and bind the edges to make a custom area rug. (It doesn't cost a lot for the binding.) Depending on your style, you might consider a large oval braided rug in the right colors =-check out JC Penney for those. You might consider a sisal area rug--check out the Home Depot.
cover it with another rug
Purchase an area rug large enough to cover part or all of your ugly carpet.
The least expensive way to cover your ugly rug is with another rug. This will not necessarily cost you a fortune. A great trick is to go to your local carpet store and purchase a remnant. This are discounted pieces of carpet. They come in all kinds of sizes. Once you choose your carpet piece ask the carpet store does binding on the carpet. This keeps the edges from fraying. It is nice because when you leave your rental place you can take your rug with you.
