The light fixture, art and furniture will likely define any all white room, with or without beams or boards visible. Perhaps you should add some color to the room. You might consider a less traditional overhead light fixture -- not a chandelier ... perhaps something colorful that compliments colorful art over the fireplace.

Not a pro but, to me, even a large modern ceiling fan light would be less "country" than those chandeliers.

Try glam farmhouse. Although this is more contemporary than you probably want.

I think you'll have to move the light fixture one beam more away from the FP. It will be too crowded to use if not.

I am not seeing country at all so not sure what you think looks country . I agree the shiplap would not be my fave but the furniture and lighting will counteract that IMO please do not do the fixture you have lying on the chairs for sure.

Some of the items @decoenthusiaste pulled up seem to jive with your ideabooks. I'm not a pro so when people say glam/traditional this is what I think! :)

I think you were trying to bring in your touches of gold but didn't go as bold as your idea book photos.

I do think this space is totally workable even with the shiplap. A rug with some color could really liven things up.

I agree with what others have said so far - plus add a large round mirror over the FP

Not sure there is much you can do about the beams and tongue and groove without removing them or covering with gypsum board (sheetrock). You might be able to remove the decorative corbels from the ends of the beams to give a somewhat updated look. Might also suggest a rug in your dining area - something with a contemporary and less traditional look. That is unless you want a traditional oriental rug. Oriental rugs are classic, timeless and go with most any decor. A rug can introduce color into your room which, right now, is lacking. Good luck!

Omgsh!!! This is gorgeous!! The space as it is currently is so tastefully done. What don’t you like about it?

Maybe we can change up the FP for something more modern?
Plain white?
Maybe marble slab?
Stucco/cement?

Add some modern art and table decor.

Cushions on the window seats on the sides of the FP?
Pillows?

I’m thinking brown leather would look 🤩🤩.

You can also do sconces there ....

Maybe a rug?

Also maybe changing out the chairs would help you, again I personally LOVE the space as is. So maybe im no help (sorry!!!)
You can swap just the head chairs. Or just the main chairs. Or all.

Hard to suggest without knowing what your after. And if you want to tweak or start fresh ... what inspires you?

In any case,

I’d be careful with this space. And learn to work with the current look. It’s beautiful.
But that’s just me :)

Oh also, maybe you can wrap the beams in something? But don’t know if you want to go more rustic.

It’ll break up the white.

Removing the corbels is an excellent idea!!

This is not "country" as others have said. You just need some color, rug, art, etc. It's a beautiful room!

I love the idea of removing the corbels, and leaning into more color with a rug. I’m going to play around with these ideas in my design software. It’s a good space so thank you for the suggestions it helps a lot.

The corbels are not something I'd remove. It may be that they actually support the beams at least somewhat and they don't look bad. If you keep your current furniture, what you choose for your overhead light and for art over the fireplace will end up being the focus of the room.

Removing the corbels will mean repairing and refinishing the dry wall.

If you want the room warmer, you might consider adding a rug -- I personally hate a rug in the dining room but many people like them, including pro decorators -- and / or you could add color via window treatments and even drapes for the patio doors -- I personally prefer vertical blinds for sliding glass patio doors but French doors are more formal so drapes work or at least sheers attached top and bottom over the glass. Yes, I know I'm in the minority preferring vertical blinds for sliding patio doors.

Since you already have framed art in the room, consider another art form for over the fireplace -- something other than a mirror

I think the fixture on the table is old and the one installed is new (at least, the installed on looks like what's in the OP's ideabook).

Yes, the fixture on the table is the old one. I’m not sure I’m sold on the new one, but I think I just needs some help.
