I'm not sure this space needs anything else, the most eye-catching issue is all the cords hanging down from your Tv area, you don't need to paint that bookshelf. you need to lose that bookshelf in favor of another wall mounted piece to go with the tv console that is wall mounted already. honestly, that area needs more help. You don't need tiles or wallpaper. Perhaps paint the back wall by the fridge the teal in the dining area to make it more cohesive.

No to the black and white tiles. I like the teal. Spread a bit more of it around in the space, maybe in a rug. Lose that bookshelf altogether. Sorry, but it's an eyesore.

Yes to paint the bookshelf white, and wrap the half-wall with lumber to match the beam and column. This isn't a perfect match for your space, you'll have to use a little imagination.

If Hubby loves the teal wall, I'd keep it till you can't stand it anymore, then convince him it's time for a change...to red or mustard or something else kind of in-your-face. It's a fun, casual space. Let it be bold.

Your t.v. and console are hung too high. Would look much better if they were lowered, a lot.

I like the table -- it relates to the wood of the beam, the coffee table, the dining table, the brick wall. But I'd remove the bookshelf.

Need bigger art in the DR.

We had a very similar green in our DR in our last house. It was fun. Maybe you could carry the green over to the desk in the form of a desk chair?

To add to this post, the rug made a huge impact, and the desk is just fine. You dont need a lot of changes here just some final steps.

Stephanie, your art is way too small for that wall. I'd either find three more framed prints the same size to go with it, incorporate it into a gallery wall, or just remove it altogether. It's just incongruous there.

I don't know what size it is, but if you're looking for coordinating prints, it looks like it would go with work by Basquiat:

Paint the back wall of the kitchen the teal color, move the DR art there, then find a poster or two and frame them and hang them in the DR.

Maybe the bookshelf can find another home upstairs. Might work in a bathroom with tons of white fluffy towels, and linen bins to stash toiletries.

Love how you have stashed the bikes under the stairwell.

I hate to say this but if you can reuse that dining light maybe in your entry or another area, it's much too small and much too high in the space. I'm not sure it fits the theme you have either. I would paint the bar/pony wall the teal color as well as the back fridge wall. I would not go to matchy on the chair perhaps a teal cushion on it would do the trick. I think a white chair would suit to match the desk.

Grover's suggestions on rugs are perfect and I think she listed the manufacturer.

The current teal wall, the one you intend to paint, and the toss pillows, plus a rug with a bit of teal will be enough. Add some splashes of red for some real verve. For a desk chair, I'd go with a simple white Eames-style shell chair, no cushion needed.

Rug is perfect!

You've got a lot vying for attention in this space. I'd go for a plain linen in a color close to the wall color or one of the colors in your rug. You really don't need any more pattern here.

Nice rug! Room looks great.

Looks to me like you should pull the rug about 1’ further out.
