Lighting looks set up too high, and appears too small for the table.

Furniture looks fine to me, but your room is crying out for curtains to soften the window.

Lovely room but I agree with the comments about the light

Beverley- you can pick furniture for my house any day !

The top and the third cabinets get my vote for this room.

With the green walls I'm not really seeing the light rug as adding anything to the room. A rich colored Oriental rug would complement the walls beautifully and the color and softness it provides might eliminate the need for curtains. The shape of the window mimics that of the front door, and that would be lost with drapes. Your dining room furniture is quite traditional and the rug is the odd man out here. A more dramatic rug would take this room to a whole other level.

Beverley: now those are cabneits!!! love the high-boy one!!

OP Sherrisk06: can I ask what rug you have? I love the color (and I'm on the hunt!!)

it is a sisal/jute ish piece I had cut and bound.

I appreciate the advice but can I get an answer to my question. CAN I PUT A 40 INCH CABINET ON A 42INCH CORNER WALL? Designers?

It's not clear where you intend to put the new piece(s)? Will you do away with the corner cabinet? and the short piece on the left? I think what you show in your picture looks lovely. The art over the shorter piece is rather modern so I'm thinking your rug helps your room go in that direction. Could you keep the corner piece and find one that holds more for the left. You can certainly put the pieces you've found in those spots. I don't think there is any way to know for sure if it will look too crowded without trying it. And I wouldn't worry about symmetry.

Good luck!

Will you be able to open the cabinet door? Function first. I wouldn't let the asymmetry bother me.

Consider another wall decoration above the small wall table. This one is a bit modern for the rest of the furniture. It might look better in the hallway.

Your dining room is lovely. I see nothing wrong with adding matching cabinets on either side of the doorway. I love your doors, no need to add curtains.

I would consider having a classic corner cabinet built for that corner. Something like this:

Ebay has a lot of lovely mahogany ones at very good prices - would go well with your furniture. Also, consider an antique mahogany hanging corner cupboard there. Again, there are several on eBay and they are going for a song. I have one in my own DR and I love it.

Drapery should frame the window, not cover it. Drapes add softness to the room but don't serve to cut off the window or sunlight.

While I enjoy and appreciate all of the input I have had on my room, I thought it might be helpful to post a few pics of the rest of my home to show that I am not interested in pushing my dining room toward more traditional. I guess my style is eclectic because I love antiques next to modern pieces with a rustic piece added in. This might be anxiety producing for some but it makes me happy. This is the dining room wall you did not see, a rustic buffet with traditional lamps and modern art.

This is my office with a modern desk and chair, industrial lamp, traditional rug and rustic chest and lamp.
