Hubby and I each have our own recliner. Papa bear and Mamma bear ones. We have a couch also, but it is only used when we have company. It's about 12 yrs old or more. I would like to get a new one but hubby likes to lay on this one occasionally and it does look almost like new. We built a new house and moved in last year and I would like something a little more colorful. Maybe next year, we have spent mucho bucks on landscaping this year ( his thing) next year (my thing). Ha!

We have stayed in many vacation rentals and never choose places with dated, trashed looking furniture. That couch would cause me to scroll on by if I were looking online. We are willing to pay a premium for nicely furnished places and treat them respectfully. If you invested a bit in new furnishings, you could charge more and I’ll bet the place wouldn’t be as likely to get trashed. Don’t forget about the great leverage that a security deposit provides as well.

I cruised rug sites for inspiration - something with texture rather than specific design that would be too busy with your paisley. Looking for color that would be on order of the overall backround color of the upholstery. Since you don’t plan to reupholster anytime soon - that’s not a factor for this current rug need. All I came up with is Jute or sisal & that seems too casual for your furniture style - the queen Anne table legs etc. What I would do is visit local carpet store with sofa cushion in hand. You can have a rug the large size you need cut & bound. Also get a good rug pad cut for size. Look for a neutral with texture - i.e. a very short shag or frieze. Likely would be much easier & cheaper than buying on line & trying to deal with possible returns.
