I don't think that chandy is right for the rest of your furnishings/coloration/space. With such a long table, I'd suggest something linear, contemporary, blingy. Do you regularly seat 8 for meals? Rugs would be my way of defining the two areas, adding interest and pattern. However, you need 36-42" of space all around the table top for the chairs to pull out and be sat in without falling off the rug . Do some measuring and use painter's tape on the floor to tape out a "rug" and see if you have enough room for one. You might try the table turned the other direction with the sofa table on the end wall left of the kitchen. That's a tall wall though, so you might want to consider a tall piece of casegoods there. I don't care for the "black hole" windows. How about some soft, fabric roman shades?

I agree with decorenthusiast on all points. I don't see that chandelier being a good fit in color, shape, or style. Rugs would add interest and definition to the two spaces, but it might be hard to find the right sizes, especially with really no space to spare between the one dining chair and the seating area. You could, however, get a rug cut to size and finished with a border (for example here: https://www.theperfectrug.com/ ).

My number one thing, though, would be to find a really large piece of artwork for the wall opposite the stairs.

It’s a little too monochromatic for me. (Even the dog!! LOL!)

Please give this room some color and maybe a plant or two. Is there any way you can switch the couch around? I’d hate sitting on it and looking over at a large dining table.

May I ask where your big vase (the one on the floor) is from? It looks like brass? I love it!

Hello. thank for comments. The chandelier is up...!!!I know many of you said not to, but I love it more than anything in this room.. so actually I am open to change the rest of the furniture as I have them for long time now.
I have ordered a rug that is about same color as chairs/ can be returned if I change my mind.
the table extends, so the rug I purchased is quite large. The seating area here is more to be formal, bc we have a family room joining the kitchen.
you enter the house from the door next to sectional.
I removed all golden accents, as the living/ kitchen is going to use it. so now thinking if I should add mirror buffet table or hang few mirrors.. as for art, shuold I do colors or mirrored art.

if I would get a rug in a color, what color would it be?

the table, the brass vase was purchased at estate sale so they are quite old and used to be very expensive.
if I would replace a sectional, what would I put?. if I would replace the table, what finish would I chose?

Consider a round table to better suit the chandy. A 3-seat sofa and two armchairs is always a good choice.

I think the chandelier looks pretty. Also think you need some color & art. Blues or greens would look pretty. Do you use this space for dining all the time or is it more for entertaining? The space looks cramped, I wonder if you could remove a leaf & 2 chairs from the table & store them until needed. ** I just noticed your new pics where you removed the other 2 chairs -- that works too :-)

As mentioned ^^^^ those stairs scare the heck out of me. I slipped on my own stairs recently & broke a toe. I'm not old, I wasn't drunk, i just slipped. If it happened on your stairs, I'd have broken my neck. The house looks new -- but those can't be up to code, are they?

With the addition of the chandelier it would be best to change the dining table to a darker tone of wood, perhaps similar to the legs on you current dining chairs. If you wanted to add in mirrored accents mercury glass would be an easy option to use either silver or gold accents in your space. For a rug I would suggest a grey, or a blue/teal to break up the cream tones and add a little more depth in the space. I think that adding some accent colors in blue or teal in the form of decorative pillows or a throw would also help add some dimension to the room. Taking out the two chairs really made a difference in the seating area. You could alternatively take out the sectional, put the chairs back in with the side table in-between them to open up the space even more.

Best of luck on the rest of your project!

Just a suggestion. It could be a series of art pieces mounted on the wall and then add some tall drapery panels to your window.

We only use this room when there is a party or holiday. and this is another reason we left space between table and stairs, so ppl can pass through on a daily basis and dance during parties. it is a first room when you enter the house.
kitchen has an island we use for family meals and have sofa and TV for family time. even when 2 friends come they prefer to be in the kitchen or watch TV in the family room.

the table is in its shortest state, shupd I decorate it with runner or placemats... would it be strange? when you go to open house they even put plates and napkins in staged homes...

I think you have too many chairs around your table and it looks a bit like a furniture store. Can you either extend your table to give each chair more breathing room or remove 2 chairs and store them elsewhere until you need them for dinner. And you could do with some art as others have mentioned:)

Your space is coming along nicely.

Gabriella, a history of your comments shows that you're mostly interested in promoting the replica MCM chairs and sideboards sold at a NYC furniture store. You wouldn't happen to work there or own the store, or be friends or partners (personally or professionally) with someone who is, would you?

Also, there have been more than a dozen BBB complaints in the past three years about the store you've been recommending, which I would find problematic if I were looking to buy something there."

Yup, it's a coven - and they're breeding! Now includes Caroline diCarlo and Selene Baudille, with Mike Cruz thrown in to up the hirsute ante.

Oh geez.

@Arm G I absolutely love your chandelier, your flooring and everything about your pictures! Z Gallerie (Green Hills) is one of my favorite stores. I’m currently shopping for flooring. Would you mind sharing the name of the flooring you have?

Toya, thank you! you made my day! I took the pic of the box, hope it helps. thses are vinyl floors which we did, because they are waterproof. if the underfloor is not very smooth it bends and u feel under feet.
