Flank it with a couple of side chairs, add a pair of buffet lamps and get a nice large piece of art to hang over it. Perhaps the one to left in the photo above which is large for the wall it's on now.

A large mirror would be pretty over your buffet.

I forgot to mention I have ordered a chair and ottoman that hasn't been delivered yet. I love the idea of a large mirror but there is one in the area already.

How about an rug for your seating section.

A good large picture and a nice floral arrangement on one side, is what I'd do for that sideboard. It looks so lonely :).

Thaks for the ideas. Rug is on order also. I agree it looks very lonely.

Annie took the words out of my mouth about flanking chairs, which don't have to be too large or ornate, and a large painting over the sideboard. Once the chairs are in place you could even do a gallery wall with several pieces of art, although that might be a good suggestion for over your couch also. There is so little color or warmth in your home right now that area rugs in warm colors and paintings with bright and warm colors would really make your home look more cozy and welcoming. You have a nice base to start from but it now needs to be accessorized to make it shine. Another rug in the foyer area would also be a great idea. esalerugs is a good source, and you can return rugs you don't like at no charge. I'll be receiving the rug shown below in a few days, and something similar would look wonderful in your foyer and living area. They have rugs in all price ranges.

I would recommend that you check out Matthew's Digital Prints for some wall decor. They have amazing framed prints!
