Hi Ilaria,
This is a lively portrait and I love the way you're painted these two charming children. Since there is a lot of discussion about what the girls are sitting on, I thought I would add that I thought they were sitting on an ottoman. I had to look twice, but I realized it was something raised off of the floor. I think the problem lies with the area to the left of the ottoman. It reads as a horizontal surface, when in reality it's the SIDE of the ottoman so it should read as a vertical surface. If you can show this side to be more like the side of the ottoman, I think it would easily read that the girls are sitting on a boxlike structure (ottoman, or whatever those designers call it!).
This is just my two cents worth and the idea about changing the (our) left side of the ottoman is just what I would try if it were my painting. Believe me, I'm only right about half the time when I try stuff on my paintings, but I would try it and see how it works.
