You're right, the floral wall sconces do not work, and you need a new light fixture and art. The rug is also too small for the table. I don't know what size it is, but you should at least have a 8 X 10. If you want to change your style from traditional to transitional, add some more modern elements to the room. You don't want a MCM light fixture, but something less traditional, same with the rug and art. Drapes would help to soften the space. If you have it in the budget, swap out the buffet for something that doesn't match and adds interest. If none of the pictures below inspire you, spend some time looking at the pictures on Houzz, specifying Transitional as the style.

Yes, the floral sconces are not right here. Try taking them down. For the buffet top, a seasonal arrangement of mini-pumpkins, gourds, etc. would be pretty.

Art takes a while to find something you love, not just wall decor. If you are interested in putting new prints and mats in the existing nice frames, that would work well because the frames are the right size for the dining area. Art.com and etsy.com are both good sources of prints. Here's a brightly colored print and a more subdued print to give you some ideas.

I was just looking for inspo pictures for another OP; these remind me of your room:

Can you show the fourth side? Is it open to another room?

Since the table and chairs are barely on the area rug, are you sure the table shouldn't be turned?

It's imperative the electrical box should be centered over the table. What is creating the problem? When you have double windows like that, anything not centered really is apparent.

I agree with the comments about the rug size, removing scones, updating paint and adding new lighting, art/decor, seat covers and window treatments. I really like the kelly.interiors inspo photo posted by @Jilly.

Does it make sense to turn the table 90 degrees if there is space?

You can have an electrician move the chandelier. It will look best centered over the table.

I thought of turning the table also. It is hard to see in the pictures, but it looks like you have room. Since you are planning to change the light fixture, disregard it as you try furniture placement.

I'd have a custom window seat built in that wraps under both windows. using roman styled cane blinds as windows treatment dbling as storage option or using ceiling tracks drop ceilling to floor net curtains netx3 thickness for dapple sunlight effect enter your dining set on own in middle of room paint walls to match window seat cushions an blinds diy a abstract family hands on wall painting bright pop colors frame less 3d look .

Thanks for all the ideas! I will definitely take down the wall sconces and experiment with turning the table. Some asked about the fourth side of the room. it opens to the kitchen/great room. Here is a picture.

For some reason , with your style of furniture , I’ve always liked blue & white porcelain, Chinoisserie style vases , bowls, jars , etc . Tons available online at various price points. For art check out sites like Minted.com , Artfully Walls & Desenio.

@BeverlyFLADeziner The problem with centering the table is that if it is centered (positioned the way it is currently), it will be too close to the buffet/sideboard table. It could be centered if we did not use the buffet, but we need the buffet for storage and there is no other good spot for it I tried turning the table, but it doesn’t look right turned (seems too narrow for the space.) I agree that we need to look for a larger rug.

I too am puzzled by why the table can't be turned. Try moving the sideboard further down the wall away from the window.

Consider putting a wine rack on or over your buffet (or next to your buffet with a long vertical rack) and put BOTH your artworks on that wall -- the wine bottle art and the fruit bowl art. Do a kind of eclectic mix of wine rack and art pieces in relationship to the buffet. Put the extra chair on the buffet side of the room and put a pedastal fruit bowl on the buffet and maybe some sun-face candllesticks

If you want to use the floral sconces, suggest putting them on either side of the window. Suggest getting some dried rust-colored grass plumes and dried lavender to mix in.

Consider recovering your chair seats (you know, using a staple gun) with a stronger color or bolder print fabric.

I think a chandelier like this might look nice in your space

Can you turn the table/chairs 90 degrees, center it on the window/light and then post a photo to see if that looks and functions better?

@Design Fan

Here are a couple of pictures with the table turned and centered on the window and partially centered with the light (can’t center on the table lengthwise because of lack of space). The rug definitely needs to be be changed for a larger one.. I moved the arm charms to the sides rather than the ends of the table and I think that helps add a little width to the look.

Thanks for adding the additional photos. I like the dining set turned.

Ok, I'm sticking to my opinion pretty much as '''budget fix for now'' -- Leave the table turned and put the floral sconces on either side of the window. Move the sideboard down the wall, away from the window, to solve your problem about chair clearance. Move the extra chair to the opposite wall, flat against the wall, not angled, to help fill the space left when you move the sideboard down. Rearrange your framed art and maybe even plates over the sideboard, and add other things to the wall that might look nice that's related to food, wine and family.

Personally I would remove the rug. Possibly also buy inextpensive solid color drapes (wine color?) for both windows rather than place the urn sconces on each side of the back window. If you bring in drapes for the windows, consider using just one of those sconces rather than 2 in the room.

I like the "cup" light fixture!

PS: If you rehang the sconces, consider hanging them lower,

I like the new light fixture and the table turned the new way. I would look for a new wider rug so that the chairs can stay on the rug when someone is seated. I don't love the wall vases in that space, but ultimately it's of course your home so you should use decor that you like.

If you keep that light fixture, this could be nice for your buffet top. $35 (balloon wine glasses not included)

Lighten up the room. You are short a chair...consider mixing in an upholstered one. Yes, to adding blue and white.

Two lamps for the buffet

@BeverlyFLADeziner i had not thought about that much color, but I really like it!

I love what Beverly has shown! I generally look for art in thrift stores, flea markets, etc. It is often already framed and it keeps you from getting things that ” match”. I would surely remove the art that seems to feature bottles of booze ( booze does not seems like decor).

Thanks for all the ideas! I like the mock up with the blue rug and curtains and the idea of adding blue and white accesories. I have two questions regarding the ideas - If we don’t plan to add additional window treatments anywhere else in the house (just the blinds), is it ok to have curtains only in the dining area? Also, we don’t currently have blue anywhere else in the space. (There is some blueish gray in the ottoman/coffee table and the counter tops have some bluish gray tones, but no other blue.) Would a blue rug and curtains be ok with the rest of the room? Here are pictures showing the adjacent great room. Thanks!
