Too much pattern, too many pieces of decor. Fireplace is very busy before adding ‘stuff’. A patterned rug as suggested is making me dizzy. Think big as in the print in dining area. All of those small group photos should find a new place in your home. Paint the fan white. Perhaps you can find a cross between a ceiling light and chandelier for above the dining table.

These are lovely rooms with beautiful countertops and attractive furniture. You don't need a chandelier. Choose a simple solution: Have the electrician install another recessed light in the hole. If a must-have chandelier miraculously appears in the next few years, you can change out the recessed light easily.

When your eye is tired of seeing the same decor, the thing to do is remove the decor. Pretend you are going to paint and take down everything smaller than a basketball. Buy some fresh daffodils to fill a vase. Give yourself a chance to feel the warmth and colors of spring in an uncrowded room.

Do you like the gold color of the rug in the tv area? It could be a cue to a new wall paint color.
