I would put a rug. Yes, solid color

This rug brings in the gray from your walls and chairs and some of the warmth from your curtains and your art work.

I think a rug would be a great way to bring the room together. Maybe add some drapes to the french doors in a coordinating color/texture to tie the doors in.

Thank you everyone!! I love the rug in the picture! I'm having trouble finding a square rug. They aren't as common but in sure I can figure it out.

What is the size of your table? A rectangle 8x10 rug should work fine.

A rug would soften and define the eating area. Just be sure to get one large enough so that, when the chairs are pushed away by the diners, the rungs don't get caught up in the edge of the rug. It's a common mistake and a cumbersome one. As for finding the right size and shape of rug, you can go to a place that sells wall-to-wall carpet and have them cut and bind the edges. Some stores may not offer this but I know there are some that do.

Yes custom is an option if you're looking for a square rug as they are very uncommon. You can have the pattern above custom made in hand knotted wool if you would like.

Not sure 8x10 will be large enough for the rug. Chandelier appears undersized for the room. I have installed something with a bit more presence. Those shelves on the back wall don't seem right for the room. The room needs a piece of large art over the back of the banquette.

As illustrated in one of the photos, putting tape around the table and chair area is the best way to test out the proper size.

Gorgeous dining room! I love the stripes on the wall!

Hey!

I rectangular rug would suffice but there are many vendors that sale square rugs too if you're interested in that but i absolutely suggest a rug, Also, the chandelier is too small for that size room so that's 1 other thing that may be contributing to the empty feel. Also you need an official focal point in the room, try moving the buffet cabinet to center on the stripped wall.

Good Luck.

Ugh, I love the chandelier that I purchased but I agree once the room was done it seemed a bit small. Kind of too late though.....we do have 4 recessed lights so when they are all on it doesn't feel weird in the room.

we tried the buffet on the back wall but it is hidden by the table and chairs. Seemed like a waste so we moved them back. What about a large mirror on the back wall? I like the the art work idea or something larger on the back wall.

The table is 84" so I was looking for a 10x10, 8x10 might be too small for those pulling chairs out in that side.

10x10 is very rare unless you just want to have a rug cut from board loom. Rectangular should work for the room. Art over the banquette.

The light is very pretty. I don't think the size will be a problem.

If your table is 84 inches you will need to add 30-36 inches to diameter of rug tomake it big enough.

Find big art work for the striped wall. 2/3 width and height should do it. Either photo enlarged, thinking Eiffel tower or modern art work with purple and grey etc in it.

Turn mirror horizontally over the breakfront and add candle sticks on one end and plant on other end.

Remove small shiny squares; when you have art work consider hanging them vertically next to art work about eye level and 3 inches from sides.

Orientation of vertical sconces next to window; but in your case it could be the silver fretwork sconces could go on either side of horizontal mirror over breakfront or on either side of possible art work.

Broadloom cut to correct side; 30-36 inches beyond table diameter. You have purple in your upholstered bench; please add a bit more purple to room so bench can relate to other things in room.....in the art work, in the rug, lamps/shades for breakfront, etc.

Large art work to balance room table and chairs.

You might decide you do not need a rug after you add other items.

PS I have to ask, how far is your chandelier from the top of the table; it looks high to me but it is probably the picture?

very pretty room!

Thank you so much for the help! So, I purposely kept the room neutral so I could change accent colors with the seasons. So right now Purple is the theme but I don't want to hang purple things on the walls, etc because it will change. I do have purple accents in the room just not a ton.

I moved the banquette so you can see more of a it. Ignore the small rug I just put it there to see what a rug would look like.

The chandelier is 32" from the table so yeah it might be too high. It looks small in the picture but it actually fits the room nice.
