If you are going to use that area for dining, the chandelier is not positioned properly. It should be over the table, be smaller and a different style. The entire space looks off. Was that half wall an addition to separate the two areas?

What does the family room look like? Could the table chairs go by the wall with the shelving?

As for chairs, it’s a tight squeeze both physically and visually. I suggest ghost chairs.

Thank you for your comment. We are actually having the chandelier moved in the right place. I have attached a picture of our family room. I will talk to my husband about the ghost chairs. That table actually has greater than 2 feet of moving space around each side. Yes, that wall separates the family room from the kitchen.
