What physical details of the living room set show weariness?

From the text:

Now the once loved pattern of the couch upholstery has to fight to show itself from under acres of crocheted doilies and couch covers which have themselves finally come to be more important than the upholstery. And here a table or a chair has been moved to disguise the worn places in the carpet; but the carpet has fought back by showing its weariness, with depressing uniformity, elsewhere on its surface.

The wear of the couch is hidden by doilies and couch covers. Furniture has been moved to cover obvious signs of wear on the carpet.
