My own preference would be to remove the clock and shelf and put some art there. Maybe pull a color from the art for the stool seats.

Do you use the stools and countertop? If yes, just get rid of the shelf and clock, reupholster the stool sets in a fabric to complement the room, and add a large, colorful piece of art. If no, I'd remove it all, and add a tall bookshelf/cabinet in the space.

What a beautiful room. However, the clock wall needs some colorful art that’s meaningful to you. The clock itself is awesome, but it’s too large and overwhelming for the space. I’d move the clock to a different room. The shelf is OK if it has a purpose: a shelf for pretty cookbooks with a cookbook holder holding an open cookbook beneath it, or, shelf for nicer alcohol bottles with a tray below holding ice bucket, a few glasses, and drink mixing gadgets. If the shelf has no purpose, then I’d remove it also and just go with colorful art.

Thanks for the tips. I have moved the clock and removed the shelf.

I’d also add a nice, large piece of art (light and bright) and choose Stools that compliment the dining chairs. Either solid wood or similar beige upholstery.

I would paint the walls a creamy white

We might recommend getting rid of the shelf and clock, and replace it with some artwork which also includes some brown or a mirror if you have something interesting to reflect in it.

@chloebud gave the best suggestion. If you want to find a ton of great artwork got to art.com and greatbigcanvas.com. Then choose new fabric (or new stools) for your counter. If you don’t eat there, reconsider that space for a useful cabinet that can hold dishes, serving pieces or a bar.

Each room has its in stylish ways about it. Mostly placing it on the wall in the rule of thirds when with a variety of things brings balance and improves the visibility of the objects. Be In-Style by not what is done - but how it’s done! DESIGNER!
