Umbrella size

A smaller lightsource placed close to your subject gives a light equally soft to a larger lightsource placed further away.

 

Can you place your light closer without it beeing in the way in your shot? Have you tried placing your umbrella slightly closer to your flash or collapsing it just a bit to make it smaller? Spill light can be a problem with umbrellas, but there are spill kills that you can attach to umbrellas.

 

Generally speaking, getting a softbox is a good idea. They are highly versatile light shapers.
