Well, with the black, yeah, I guess it would be hard to get texture to show up. Whatever on the rug. I haven't used a super fuzzy anything, but the white is almost what draws your eye the most. I would find a texture to tone it down a little. For the picture, have you tried to put a frame around it? Maybe that would help. And remember, you can save each room more than once with different names so if you do something and don't like how it turns out you can go back to another file and change things.
