put two pretty chairs on either side of the console

I think you need a longer console table, flanked by two side chairs. Right now, that table looks dwarfed compared to the expanse of that wall. I'd either get a larger mirror to go over the longer console, or I'd make that a gallery wall. Here's some inspiration for you, in terms of layout (not necessarily style):

cant tell from a photo, but I wondered what height the table was...

I do like the idea of the chairs. That will also allow us to add a little more dimension. At the end of the wall is a little nook where we will build a drop space. Also adjacent there is a “dining room” although I’m not sure that’s how we will use the space. It’s a blank space! New build and we just moved in!

Leads to butler pantry and then the kitchen.
