Paint the hutch a charcoal, deep blue, or black. Upholster the chairs in a cream with stripe to match/blend with the hutch. Do not use buttons in the chairs; too formal. Just a suggestion. But the set is lovely!

Live flowering plant such as an orchid. Seasonal decorations in covered glass apothecary jars you can buy online or at Pottery Barn. In fall, pine cones of different sizes, acorns, etc. In winter, gold, silver, colored glass balls. Spring- dyed eggs With that multi-branched a chandelier, you can have nothing on the table, too, and just get an orchid when you show the house. Another option is to use a beautifully crafted but clean-lined vase such as a Simon Pearce or William Yeoward or Baccarat and you can cut a few branches or stems of foliage from your yard. These vases can be bought second-hand very inexpensively online. They may have minor scratches or etching at the base or in the lower portion, but no one will see that, because they will look at the entire piece. You can also fill the lower portion with clear marbles to hold the stems which will obscure the minor scratches or etching. (Do not use a table runner for the vase. Just a small coaster or a cork coaster cut to size.) The funny thing about silk flowers, when I was young, I could spot them across the room. Now that I am older, I am frequently fooled, even from fairly close. And they have some very well made ones from Thailand. too. But the rule is, no wire hangers, and no fake or dead flowers, so alas, it is what it is, despite our aging and easily fooled eyes:)

Hi,I'm looking to update my dining room. I'm thinking of updating the chandelier and possibly getting an area rug. Not sure what would look good with my furniture. Thanks.http://imgur.com/a/Jy89IZN Added more pictures: http://imgur.com/gallery/dLyfgZZ

I don't know if Houzz sells the ones I posted. I just googled and picked random pics to suggest a style for you. I don't know if you can get covers out of glass that look like shades. Glass covers usually connect below the bulb; shades usually hang over the bulbs because they are lighter weight.
