@KW PNW Z8 there is a lot of missing info on my part here. The gray wall that shuts in my kitchen is coming down in the near future and I’ll be building an island that comes out in line with the counter edge you see on that w all. The light will be replaced with a new one so iI won’t need to swag it and yes, those wheels come off the table legs. Those are just for moving heavy furniture. I just got done painting my floors so there was a lot of shifting of furniture happening. The table needs to be in that position to accommodate for the new island I’m building. And the high chair goes bye bye very soon as well.

I put regular (i.e., cheap) area rugs directly on my Coretec LVP floors almost 2 years ago. I avoided the rubber pads on purpose, and figured since the rugs are underneath heavy furniture they're certainly not going to move around. Zero issues. These are the cheap 9x11 area rugs sold at big box stores - no rubber backing like a bath mat. I could envision any rubber creating a haze or ghosting issue on the LVP, but I'm not sure any regular wool or cotton rug with no backing can do any harm. I've had no issues in over 2 years, and just pulled them both up a few weeks ago to clean crumbs from underneath the edges....

Order the rug you like in the smallest size...then if you like it, send back the "sample" and get the full size one. What is it that clashed about the ones you sent back? The room is very neutral in black white and cool gray, and the floor is warm tone. Maybe that's it. The mix of warm and cool tones...get a rug with those tones.

Hard to say without seeing a pic of the space. Most often one large rug — in your case very large with king bed & chest at foot — placed far enough from head of bed so that when getting out of bed your feet land on the rug - but also a bit away from the front of the nightstands.
