I love Julie and Big reader's comments. I would change the window treatment to soft colourful curtaining and incorporate the suggestions already made. I like your coffee table and tv unit together btw. And a nice bit of artwork could pick up the curtain colour.

I am installing MSI Everlife LVT waterproof vinyl flooring. I understand I can't use rubber-backed rugs. Is there a pad I could put under the rugs?

Here in NZ , carpet is made from this new material called wool . Thats not quite true -- you can get synthetics ( they are cheaper and get used in budget builds I gather ) , but I've never heard of wool carpet getting sticky , and seems to last longer . I'd say talk to the suppliers and ask about cost , longevity , problems with heat and humidity -- sometimes its better to spend more $$$ -- works out cheaper in the long term .

The floral chairs are wonderful. Replace the white lounge with two more single chairs or lounge in the same fabric/design as the grey lounge. Purchase a coffee table that is similar to your glass and wood side table. A coffee table with legs, not a box. If you mean by “carpet” a floor rug? Then look at floor rugs in the same grey as lounge. Replace the curtains with one curtain that pulls to the right, so you can open your sliding door without a bunch of curtains in the way. The colour of curtain at the moment matches your accent chairs.
