I would get 4 framed corresponding pieces of art and put 2 over each cabinet. I would put down a round area rug, as big as you can fit in that room. I'm not a fan of those mirrored cabinets, they're not providing enough contrast in the space and they're just getting lost and they look like they belong in a bedroom to me. I would use dark espresso colored pieces there instead. It's unfortunate that your drapery rod is not hung at the ceiling (see if you can fix that understanding it will impact the length of your drapery panels). Then I would switch out the lighting fixture to one that is wrought iron with some crystal bling in it so that it stands out more and gives more impact (the one you have now is getting lost and has no impact at all), and then get an ORB drapery rod to go with it. Then with your accessories you're going to need to show some creativity/style that I'm not seeing yet (everything in that space is very "safe") because your room is really dancing on the line of boring right now . You don't have anything that is really creating any visual interest, so you need to interject some flavor into that space or it's just going to sit "flat". And that does not necessarily mean color ..... monochromatic color palettes are great, but you run the risk of boring if you're not careful. You still have to have CONTRAST in any color scheme, even neutral ones.

We wouldn't do mirrors, and the mirrored cabinets are okay but we think cream might work really well. We would actually get artwork to go over the cabinets. We don't think you need a rug at all, but do agree that a different chandelier would make a big difference. Perhaps a round chandelier? We think you need some color though so make sure you get color in the artwork.
