Hi Mgibad,

Your wood furniture is lovely and classic! For an update to this room, you could try a more modern rug, geometric prints are very "in" right now. You could also update your lighting with new shades or a new fixture all together, and it wouldn't be too expensive. Good luck with your updating!

My bother and sister both had this style and updated by removing their rugs, changing chandeliers, reupholstering chairs (easy to do) and redid what was displayed on their buffets. Add a centerpiece, reflecting the new style/items you select for the buffet. Instead of spending money on a carpet (until you decide if you really need one), change the mirror and perhaps other pictures in room if needing updates. Look at pictures of dining rooms you like and copy their ideas for art - large picture or groupings, etc. Start with one item you really adore and then purchase the other items to suit, so you have a jumping off point (ie; art or chandelier).

Change the light fixture and remove black-framed mirror. Your rug isn't bad and your furniture is lovely. Remove everything from the surface of your buffet and get rid of the plant in the corner.

Put the plant on a plant stand if you keep it. Can you eps ate the hardware on the buffet and china cabinet? Paint the room. I love the rug, but I think it's overwhelming the room.

Update the rug with a lighter color, trade the mirror for a colorful piece of art, and bring in a bit of surprise with hide covered seats for your dining chairs. You have some great chandelier choices saved in your ideabook.
