I would still centre the art on the wall but if you're worried about it looking off balance, you could have two or three framed prints rather than one big one. Re the rug, do you want it to blend and let the artwork etc pop or do you want the rug to liven up the room?

I envision perhaps a natural fibre rug like jute which would match with your floorboards and let the lovely grey sofa be the focus. Or you could go a really exciting rug with lots of colours or patterns as you don't have much it would clash with.

And id go a rug bug enough for the front legs of both sofas to rest on it

Probably let the artwork pop. We have that second rug under our dining table so after something a bit different

Your living room is looking lovely!
Here are some affordable IKEA rugs that may suite your space that we're loving in the image below...

Hi,

I actually quite like your cushions - the tone is good and the pattern works well.

I think some black and white photography with white mats and frames would look good.

I would line a decent sized vertical print up with the position of the left hand cushion on the 2 seater couch. This deliberate position will balance your lamp and avoid it looking like you were compromising by trying to centre it between two things.

You could equally go with a long horizontal print but make sure it is not hung too high- experiment before you settle on the level.

I agree the rug will ideally having the couches on top but if you find the right thing I wouldn't dismiss a smaller one.

Here are some rug ideas- The first one is bold and i suggest some of the yellow / mustard cushions on the couch. sorry not sure how to successfully link the photos and my teenager is not home to show me!

Freedom

Bazaar

Saana

Ikea
Marslev

Vidstrup

and there is another square grey one with a white sunburst pattern..

Any of these could look good in your room depending on how much colour and texture you want. The floor is a nice tone so I wouldn't be in hurry to cover it if you don't have to or can't find what you like.

My preference is to center the art to the wall, choose light colours that bring the blue in from outside and go with the lovely blue in the cushions.....but make it BIG. Then perhaps a large plant in the corner with the lamp. I think a large, light coloured (perhaps beige) rug.

http://www.inaluxe.com/collections/all - This Australian design team have some interesting works if you are keen on artwork that pops.

I have just come home from Oz design shop they have large variety of artwork and it's on sale now, so is freedom furniture.

To pull in the blue from the pool, either splashing it against the wall or floor is a great idea!

Maybe try some pastel (scandi shades) cushions and a piece of art work to pick up the cushion colours, some with a slightly stronger tone, to give texture. May I suggest my painting Dandelion Puffs available on Bluethumb at

https://bluethumb.com.au/lesley-taylor/Artwork/dandelion-puffs-spring (90cm (W) x 90cm (H) x 1.5cm (D) which should be large enough to make a statement over the sofa.

Your style is contemporary coastal so definitely a rug with blue in it.

Our stock rugs come in 160x230cm, 190x290cm and 240x300cm. You'll want the rug to either have the front legs of your couches on it or to go right up to it to frame the area. So best to measure!

Depending on how much colour you like..

There are always options to custom size and colour too.

So that's another thing. Would we get a rug big enough to go in front of both couches or just in front of the modular. I was thinking both would be too big and loose a lot of timber floor. The modula and couch do not line up either and can't evenly (if that makes sense).

I would place a large and beautiful ocean print on the wall above the couch to compliment the blue in your cushions. You can also choose a set of three of four serenity photographs in black and white!

Found this and I really like it. I'd also say our house is a bit more Scandinavian than coastal.

Then maybe a rug like one of these

Seems like you are on a roll. Start with the piece that you love the most or is hardest to choose and go from there.

But originally imagined one large piece like these haha so now I'm confused!

stella_bella_boo, the first prints you've chosen are definately more of a Scandi look, the second lot would create a more traditionally 'arty' vibe.

The first prints are amazing and would look great in your room. Then I like the top right rug. You're on track to a gorgeous room.

Scandi is not my style but I really like those prints.

Tsk tsk... Art at the least is something which resonates with you, for any reason, great Art is a bit different.....
Buy a prepared canvas and some colours you like and have at it.
Then hang it up on the wall....

I would suggest a large horizontal canvas close to the width of the sofa for that wall.

https://www.aboriginal-art-australia.com/. You may like one of these originals, would also give the decor some depth.

I love the gray! Very calm colour.

Love that textile art Zetta Kanta - what did you decide on stella_bella_boo? Would love to see the final design.

Old post Oct 2016. I wonder what they did?
