If you're needing to furnish the entire space, you're going to get overwhelmed if you try to do things piecemeal. The best idea is to take one space at a time and make a plan for it. If this is a great room open floor plan, I would start with the living area, move to the dining area, and do the bar stools last. Each area should coordinate with the other. You can get lots of great help but you need a direction first. Can you post pictures of the rest of the space?

I love my first chairs too but it’s such a high room and those worked so perfectly in my formal dining, so that’s why I’m making the trade. I’m open to other ideas besides blue or wicker, i just liked that they both had 36-38 backs (the fun pattern ones are 31). Also, did you say something less modern for stools? Isn’t bottom right the most modern? As you can see I’m not so smart at this haha. I also forgot i like these

it would be a dining zone...unless there is a dining room elsewhere. look for a drop leaf pedestal table.....if you are not in need of it, I would get it anyway...with no light fixture hanging down, and a pedestal base , you can push it to the side a bit. You would end up using it.....and when people are over you will start to use it....you can do things at it with computer/etc. You can lay out food when folks are around, now that you've done a good job and have a place to show off. . It's a light airy space....get a table, but one that is flexible, as it is not a huge space. [lots of tables /chairs on craigs list-very reasonable too] Love the windows....when there is a sale at lowes or similar....look into "top down/bottom up" cellular shades for the windows. I think the light and view can still be enjoyed and you'd get privacy with flexible adjustments they allow....bring some sample books home. ..have a sister or friend or mom help you find the best ones . That is an investment: not super cheap, but would give you benefit.

I have these in gray. They are very comfortable and swivel. They are big as I am a larger woman. https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Madison-Park-Irvine-Upholstered-27-inch-Swivel-Bar-Stool/19456327/product.html
