The colors are not working together. Also I see many different styles and therefore it does not work cohesively. I would think about your major décor theme for the entire home, the architectural style, etc and decide on one or two overlapping styles you prefer. Modern, mid century, Mediterranean, rustic, etc. Best wishes!

I agree you have too many styles happening IMO the blue chairs do not work with the table at all.8 chirs are way too many in that small space and please no more fiddily decor , remove the mirror and hang a piece of art there at the proper height

Everything you have selected seems a bit random. The buffet is too short so place needed chairs at either end to lengthen the appearance. The mirror does nothing for the room. Replace with a vertical canvas and place candle sconces on either side to add texture.

Arrange a larger arrangement of white & blue/black plates for the other wall. The one pendant is a bit anemic in the room. Select a simple horizontal dark metal fixture for over the table. Remove the skin from the floor and replace with a rectangular area rug.

The light over the table casts an absolutely ghastly light--all those harsh, strong shadows and the glare. Even if it's on a dimmer, that light should not be used by itself. It should be in a set of 2 or 3 to fill in and soften the shadows.

If you're keeping it, I'd put a small flood bulb in there to illuminate just down on the table. It shouldn't throw light up and to the sides.

The chairs seem squished together and too large and blue. The rug is far too small and trip hazard.

I'm sorry, Kanga, but your room has attention deficit disorder. There's way too many small things that bear no relation to each other. The shelves, the hanging terrariums (?), the plates, the little cowhide (which never belongs under a dining table)...it's too much and it's incoherent.

Decide what you like best about the space--the head chairs, the blue chairs, the sideboard--and do a search for dining room photos built around that. Maybe that will give you some better direction.

I love the table and the chairs. hate everything else. (hate is strong...lets just say the rest of the room is doing you no favors). you need a proper chandelier, not one pendant light. the warm toned plates just do not work.

your buffet is too small and the mirror doesn't belong in there. (a larger art piece on canvas would be better)

and those shelves......no. you need a proper sized rug, although I do like the hide. perhaps you could double it on top of another.

here are some visuals to help you see what we all mean.

similar size to what you have. notice the rug and the walls and the light

proper mirror over a buffet. it all works w/the table and these chairs. notice the rug size

look at the buffet and the artwork over it. this is what you need.

if you use the blue chairs, then bring in something that plays w/the blues. like this pic. and if you did a bright white wainscot and navy upper, bring in a white buffet and some nice artwork, maybe a touch of pink accenting,,,,gorgeous

other blue accents

large chairs, beautiful light, notice the rug fits the table.

Notice the great light over the table.

Here are a few dining rooms to aid you with your dilemma. We do think the chairs could work but there would have to be some changes:
