Table settings on DR tables in a home make it look like a showroom in a store get a great centerpiece and put the dishes away some drapes in the colors of your runner would be awesome and I can’t tell if you have art work but for some too and make it quite large and hung a bit lower than the 65” to center

Agree. Drapes and a wonderful centerpiece. Do you have a beautiful tray or a large crystal bowl? A candle-scape?

I like the table set, just my thing I guess. But I'll try the curtains

i dont mind the table set, but i dont like the looks of 3 plates too similar in size with a charger and mat. one plate needs to go.

How about I remove the top white plate

I also think the place settings (as well as the number of plates) feels odd/more like a store showing their plate options and the top plate is a bread & butter plate which is usually placed on the left (so could be removed). Looks like the last plate is a charger and therefore the place mat is not usually used, which will lighten the look also if leaving table with settings. I love a beautiful table and get great pleasure from setting it, but on a daily basis I think a great centerpiece is more impactful. Drapery will really warm up the space and can't tell what the seating is like, but if done in fabric - reupholstering is not difficult and can have a nice impact.

if you decide that removing the top plate makes the table seem too gold, try the dinner plate (the one above the charger, that is the same color as the charger.)

Rina I haven't seen a roller blind on a patio before. I like the idea of blinds but I'm not sure if the curtain rod would fit over the blinds.

Maureen and nngit is this what you are talking about?

Being that this is open concept and the kitchen is to the right, should I still paint the stools yellow or is that too much?

Adrienne, I'm confused. Patio? What patio?

I was saying it is a patio on the other side, I didn't know people used pull blinds (whatever you called them lol) instead of patio blinds. My blinds seem to be a little too extended out for drapes. I want drapes but wonder if I can put them over these blinds, as I do t want to waste the money I've already spent. Hope that's clearer :)

I would replace the vertical blinds on your patio door with some lovely linen panels. Make sure they are full enough on each side of the door and hang the drapery rod high and extend it at least a foot past the window edge.
Your home looks like a model home that nobody eats in. Having the table set is odd IMHO. Get a lovely centerpiece instead.
Do you use this table daily? Do you set up the place settings after each meal?

Table looks better - less is more (still like a centerpiece - lol - see idea below). I don't think I would paint the stools yellow - how about distressing them black which is modern and will better suit your dark dining set. You could eventually add complimentary light fixtures in kitchen/dining space, a yellow runner in the kitchen area and roman blinds over the kitchen window. Seeing the larger space and what else is going on in the room, I would just leave blinds as is and save your money for the above changes, which will make bigger impact and personalize your space. A black base on your island is another idea and changing your hardware on your cupboards...All ideas, hope it helps.

Adding a centerpiece and curtains is a must... Good luck.

Add fresh flowers to the table. They lend a natural feel. And aren't so symmetrical. I buy a bunch and split them into three smaller glass vases for an arrangement. I usually cut them down so they are about 12 inches high or even less depending on the flower. I found lots of cheap vases at the thrift stores. They usually last about a week and cost me $7. And they make me so happy.
