I have at least ten Oriental rugs of different sizes, and they do go with nearly every style. I would pick one with several different colors in your room, warm and cool, to set off all that light furniture in your beautiful space. Put one in the dining room, hall, family room, bedroom, wherever you have bare floors. With all your light wood rich and varied colors will look wonderful and give life and depth to your spaces.

Alex, I found that rug at Plush Rugs and also at Overstock. You might have to do a search to find it in Canada. https://plushrugs.com/safavieh/bristol/btl355m/#blue-multi

I'm pretty sure the real reason (as opposed to it just being about my superior tastes, lol) that the mister defers questions on all decor and furnishing matters to me, is so he won't have to disappear for an undetermined length of time like the OP's husband. ;) The rug thing has always been a bit confusing to me when the house has what looks like lovely hardwood flooring - rugs cover that up! Unless it's a basement, in which case I totally get wanting to be able to use the space during the winter and not freezing in the process, therefore a rug if not carpet is needed. I can't tell if the curtains are sheers? Honestly I'm more of a 'put blinds up' for windows kind of gal, if the windows require covering for privacy (don't want to give the neighbors a show or anything, lol). Window coverings also help protect darker upholstery from fading due to sun exposure, and to a lesser extent the same goes for noticeable fade and discoloration of lighter colors. Everyone loves a room with lots of big windows providing natural light, all I can think of is what their utility bills during the summer must be like and that they probably don't have a sapphire blue velvet sofa they're anxious to keep from fading and vacuum religiously despite the utilization of a throw blanket strategy to win the war against dog fur.

As per the photo, the lighting seems to be very warm. can you upload more photos of the space and in natural light or may be start with change the lights.
