Anyone?

I like the paint color. It showcases the great color of the wood.

You need some art on the wall & perhaps drapery panels on the windows.

I like the fixtures suggested above. or a simple white drum shade.

the color is fine, a bit lighter shaade perhaps. I agree with a simple drapery panel to soften the space. I like it all simple, no clutter needed.

Round chandelier, but size and style are important as well. Look at inspiration pictures to help. I like one below, as I think it suits your table, but also the room.

If tired of the wall color, suggest a softer shade like below, but with a bit more green. Feels fresher.

Suggest white linen drapes, as they always finish a room off. Don’t know what you have on other walls, but a white buffet might be quite nice, again for a lighter feel but will work really well with the molding.

Neat cushions for the chairs and bench- they don't look very comfortable to sit on. Love the room color.

Crude photoshop of Beverly's chandelier and painting. I added a plant in the corner. Are you getting a new buffet - if so, a wider one would be nice. White draperies would be nice too.

Great suggestions! Thank you!

Any other ideas?

The architecture of the room and your rug seem quite formal and classic for such a casual dining set! Removing the rug and going casual with the lighting should work.

I like@Maureen’s wall color suggestion. I think it will brighten the room. And of course a colorful painting, a fun chandelier and a new lower sideboard will finish out the room. But that green is a bit dull with the dark furniture.
Love Beverly’s lighting options!

I don’t prefer a bench in a dining room, reminds me of an outdoor picnic table. I would use the 4 chairs on the sides of the table and get 2 upholstered end chairs or 2 more of the chairs you have. Also, I like the idea of a lighter wall color, new chandelier, art and drapes.

Thank you!

Do you envision improvement being more dressy a room, or changing certain parts, chandelier for example.... ?

I can see a round, modern rustic type of chandelier.

And a mirror over the sideboard to reflect the chandelier, and generally add light/reflection/expansion to the space, could be nice. I would just hang the mirror high enough, so that people are not watching themselves while eating.
