I agree with Judy M. And at minimum, I prefer that the front feet of both sofas be on the rug. But there are many different configurations that work.

Why don't you live in the house for a while and get a feel for things. The curtains are bright but if they are still good quality / newish it would be a very expensive exercise to replace them (I have just spent a few thousand just on three rooms), you can always add a few red cushions or a red toned throw over your existing couch or a rug with a red tones in to it, to tone the red down, if required. Repainting the walls is cheaper than replacing curtains and a piece of art with red tones may also help. As far as furniture is concerned it would depend on what you like style wise. Why not send us a photo after you have moved in. You may find some of your concerns disappear once you are in and settled.

Hi all, Hope you are enjoying your break. Our garage has very strong musty smell, it is concrete floor, no window, humid, didn't find the leaking thing. We got rid of old rugs and timber decoration which covered with mould, not black mould. my question: Q1: what is the proper way to clean the mould? It may covered the floor, corner and wall, work bench feet and concrete floor. Q2: what is the better and cheap way to stop mould in the future? Q3: Is it okay if we put wool rug in there? if yes, how can we stop the mould? Or we use underlay and vinyl? Thanks in advance.

I think anything those sizes will look completely out of proportion. A small rug doesn't make a room look bigger - it just makes it look out of proportion. A large rug will actually make the room look bigger. The front legs of the couch should be able to sit on the rug. Search 'rugs in living areas in photos' on this site and you can see examples. At the moment what you have looks like a mat not a rug
