Kelly can you take a picture of the room from another angle? I agree that the light fixture is large for the table. I think a round table may work better in that room. Also you could try putting a chair at each end.

Oh! I think your dining room is about as perfect as they come. It needs nothing, in my opinion - not even a rug.

Since the sight line is open to the kitchen upon entry, I might consider Roman shades for your kitchen windows in a fabric color from the dining or living area. It'll provide continuity.

Other than that, nicely done!

I agree with Manon. You've done a beautiful job of creating a very inviting space, and I wouldn't change a thing. Your chandelier is large but it works in an unexpected but delightful sort of way. (My dining chandy is overscale too and at first I thought we would replace it with something smaller but then got used to it, and now I love its slight quirkiness.) Ordinarily I am in favor of adding a rug to a dining room, but you don't even need that. Your space is quite nice as it is.

I like your light and don't think you need a dining room rug since you have a rug in the living area, and you walk through the dining area to get to the kitchen. The only thing I would do is put a large green plant on your kitchen bar countertop (where you have the small wooden bowl) to add some life and partially block the view of the refrigerator. You've done a nice job with all your artwork.

Nice job so far. The light fixture is fine and so is the table. You don't need a rug. I'd lower the light fixture to 30" above the table and get a centerpiece that is no more than 9" high.

Is the table not centered under the fixture?

It doesn't seem like you need a rug, and your light fixture looks great. Here are some of our dining room designs to show you what we mean:

I particularly like the the furry addition! Gives the room a sense of luxury.

I agree about the art.......although I 'd need to see that entire room for perspective.

I think your home is lovely. You did a great job in your decor, and in my opinion

it looks wonderful and it dosen’t need a rug. I like your table, Keep in mind that a round table would take up more room. I think your DR is a pass through for the other rooms,

thus, you need the extra room around the table area,

I do have a suggestion though if you don’t mind....wall up the bar area and on the left

side make a door way with an interior 36” french door. The door should open on the

kitchen side... It would give your home a classy look, and give you a blank wall ( where the

bar area is) where you could add more art work or a mirror or both. You would still

get light into the room with a lovely french door...
