Line the perimeter of the hole with a contrasting hardwood, and fill in with something like a herringbone pattern... Make it look like a "rug".

If there is a closet or small room with same flooring, pull it, install in hallway, & redo closet.

Nope, the medallion idea was the best one. I've got a few extras floating around here.
