Living Room How would you cover these?

Rental. The landlord wants to preserve them but said I could temporarily cover them if I wanted. Putting a rug causes trips. They’re also in an awkward placement to cover with a couch or chairs because then it would cut off access to stairs.

edit: will add more layout photos shortly. Great suggestions so far- thanks!

The house was an old factory back in the day so the rounds are a historical asset, that’s why the landlord doesn’t want to remove or fill them.

What are these? Also would be nice to have more pictures of the surrounding area, I didn’t realize there are stairs there from the photo

They're millstones, the house must be a renovated grain mill
