I am trying to lighten up this condo for my mother. The first picture is a picture of the current rug and picture on the wall and a pic of the eating area.

I deleted my posts due to no response.

Also, I skimmed through your other post and I notice your Mom is 91. And, there is very little, to no indication of what your Mom would prefer here. I would encourage you to keep any new rug in the same colorway as your Mom’s present rug - with the warm brown tones PLUS REDS in the rug. Alternatively, maybe just get her present rug cleaned... It’s a nice rug. You can look into environmentally friendly ”green” type of cleaning services. And why not just let her keep her current wall art ? Art is really a very personal thing. If she loves the art - just leave it. It’s her space.

To “lighten up” the space - and only if your Mom is open to the idea - maybe add a floor lamp.

It's a lovely room but I would choose a larger rug which will make the room look even more elegant and rich. A rug with a border, such as the two directly above, gives a more finished look. Also, a rug with a bit more color variation, perhaps gray or cream with a soft terracotta, would lend more life to your dining room.

Often sofas like yours just overwhelm chairs like the one pictured. I'd consider the height and overall presence of the MCM style pieces you want to introduce,keeping the scale close....meaning the seat heights need to be about the same and the overall height within just a couple of inches. Good news is that those chairs (& similar) do come in various sizes and various fabrics. I'd likely choose a stronger colour, or if ivory something very textured.

Sorry about not responding to your comments. I didn't originally see them. Yes this site is a duplicate. I was trying to see if by creating a new thread if a pro would make a suggestion also. Not that I don't appreciate and welcome all of the advice that I've received I also was hoping to hear some pros thoughts as well. have been having some difficulty with the app and plus I'm not very technically savvy so I tryed by making another post.
