Swapping couch with Recliner - how to fill holes in floor

I'd use wood filler or auto body repair to fill them.

yep, get a piece of matching/similar hardwood, use a forstner (SP?) bit and make a smooth hole in the existing floor, use a plug cutter bit to cut some patches out of the piece of hardwood you bought.

Since it's would, I think "johnsonbert" suggested the best idea.

On the carpet, find a piece that's a little oversized and cut the visible end (slide edge) to size. You should be able to find a local place that can add an edge. Have them bind the one side and you'll be ready to go when the time comes.

I thought about the rug idea but opposite of that is the slide with the couch and it has carpet (carpet that needs replaced but I don't know how to get a piece with bound edges that is custom to that slide...another post later). I was worked that putting a rug there might look kind of hodge-podge (sp?). I do like the idea of making plugs...guess I'll see what I have after I remove the loveseat...

Depending on the size of the holes, you may be able to fill them with an epoxy and then find a piece of flooring that nearly matches your flooring and make plugs to fill the holes, as they would in furniture making. Just a thought. If done with care, the grain could align and be nearly perfect without sanding or finishing of any kind. Hope this may help, Happy Trails Bert
