Art and no faux plants or flowers I too think the chadeleir is too large for the space and IMO too ornate

The chandelier is quite large for the room, but you may be able to hang two pieces of art on the far wall and one piece on the left wall. Art is generally hung at eye level or with the center about 5' off the floor. The room can benefit by the addition of color in art and an area rug which measures at least four feet longer and four feet wider than the measurements of the table. Remove the floral item in the corner and replace the table runner with one in a color referencing the art or the area rug.

I love the suggestions of statement sized horizontal art. You don't need to fill the wall, just make it interesting. A suggestion for your fabulous new built-ins: if you can move those shelves around so they're at different heights. Not every shelf needs to be used. That way you can put something really tall in one of them.

Maybe it's my clumsiness but I'd want something fairly shallow on that wall if I needed storage (15" deep or less). Otherwise, colour can "fill" a wall. A mural or art as mentioned above would be fun options. My first thought was a row of étagères with interesting details. Perfect spot for coffee table books and some interesting objects. Can get pricey as an option though. And I'd need to "curate" the display, otherwise it could easily look cluttered. A low-budget option could be a graphic wall created with paint. There are even some geometric wall stencils for this purpose. Plenty of options out there! Have fun with it and hope you keep us posted.

That table is far too large for the room, sorry - I know you just bought it. Your room would lend itself better to a 54" to 60" round table. Suggest you put that table back on Facebook Marketplace and go that direction. Over-crowded dining rooms never look good.

I would remove the faux plant in the corner and the runner down the table. I would get a console/buffet type piece of furniture in a mirror finish and hang art over it. Then I would take away 2 chairs from the table and put a chair on either side of the buffet. (Those chairs are too crowded in around that table).

I had the same thought as cpaul...do you have enough room for a console?

p.s. I like the grandness of your chandelier...very pretty.

Here are a few ideas for art. Removed the chandelier in one just so you could see the photo better...not at all implying that the chandelier should be removed...

This room would look great with wallpaper. Tone-on-tone silver over and grey in a transitional pattern would probably suit your taste, or this: murals are great for walls hard to decorate (chandelier creates a problem)

or a large standing mirror angled to reflect the chandelier. Do move 2 chairs and toss the fake plant

It's hard to tell from your picture but you might just try the table turned in the other direction. Still centered under the chandelier.

A tall piece on one wall sparsely decorated and a buffet with art on the other wall.

Your chandelier, though lovely seems too large and not complementary with your other selections. Here are my suggestions for your room. Some type of linear chandelier, graphics on the wall and a tall plant in the corner.

Can you move the chandelier to a foyer? A buffet is needed in addition to artwork.

Artwork or a mirror over a buffet would look great here. Something like this:

Is it possible to turn the table the other direction, leaving space on the left side for a large piece of furniture like a china or buffet? I would avoid hanging art on walls that have switches or thermostats, etc.
