I think the small family photos would do well in a different space. Nice art or art prints on either side would take the whole design up a notch. The rug and table are lovely. The dog adorable. You might want to update the chandelier since that would help in resale anyway.

Here is art buying advice:

Please please please do NOT buy art from big box stores!

ONLY buy art from a place where the artist's name is listed.

Get art from places that benefit the artists themselves (so not a mass produced place like homegoods or any big store) the following sites have work from real artists but with affordable options. You probably can find real art by real artists for less than you would get from those mass produced factory art places like pier 1.

It doesn't have to be the original painting. Many artists sell prints of their own work for crazy reasonable prices.

Don't be intimidated. You can get nice work from an artist for under 100, 200, 300, etc. Sometimes it's more, but these sites all tend to have affordable options.

And you can often search by price, color, or theme. Loved your trip to Switzerland? You can find paintings of the alps. Avid bird watcher? Find photos or prints or your favorite woodpecker. Love the serene ocean? Tons of seascapes out there.

Bad impersonal factory art can cost the same as real art from the artists themselves, so why not spend your money on real meaningful art?

Some larger chains like West Elm do partnerships with artists or companies like Minted to sell work by real artists.

Also Wayfair and Houzz sell both factory and real art. Just make sure to check the listing and make sure it says "by Jane Smith" or whatever the artist's name is. Skip the art that is not attributed to an actual individual artist.

Oh and some chinoiserie on the buffet would help bring in the blue from the rug. Or a beautiful blue and white bowl would too

Maybe something like this? On either side of the buffet?

Truey- I love original art work so thank you for the suggestions and sizes. I always tend to go small and it just gets lost. I appreciate your feedback!

It's a really beautiful room. I do love that rug!

i also found out reverently that the Audubon society lets you download high res images for free. Then you could print them at a place like mpix.com. They are very elegant and could look great with your sophisticated room.
