    I hate shutters on windows and in DRs and bedrooms even more . Add some nice silk drapes take the shutters off and since you have the rug ( Ilove it BTW) then use the wall color for the drapes to keep things simple and add black center piec and unless those plants ar real they do not belong anywhere . I buy fresh flowers at the super market all the time and use them for my DR and kitchen

    Don't see a chandelier; that would be your statement piece. There are lots of great looking contemporary ones that would be beautiful there. How about art on that wall between the two windows? What's that on the left side wall? Looks like a mirror but maybe a bit under scale for that spot. Can we see more photos and all four walls?

    Do you have a chandelier? It might work well to add one, along with some drapes and maybe a piece of neutral artwork to the right of the window. Here are some designs of ours to aid you more.

    I like the neutrals and the shutters. Get some canvas art in the same color range.






    Art is from greatbigcanvas.com great site, fun to use and reasonable.

    Install a chandelier if you can, curtains on the widows and open the slats on your shutters, wall art, and bouquet on your table.

    I think your room is screaming for wallpaper, something modern and light. Reason? It adds visual interest without the clutter of art, drapes, etc. I don't mind the shutters, they add to the clean modern look and your window on the back wall is not placed well for drapes. You don't have room for furniture to add interest, although you could try and put a long narrow floating shelf with art above on the left wall. But it looks tight.

    We haven't seen the last wall, but if it has art on it, hanging art on the other two walls is going to look, to me, not good in such a small room. If you don't want to do wallpaper, consider either painting the walls to match the white in the rug, or find another fairly saturated color that will go with your beige chairs/rug. That way you won't need to fill the walls with art, just a few pieces, because the color will bring the visual interest. Also, use flat paint. You might also want to try and mix artwork and ? wall sculpture or ? Something simple, a metal sculpture with clean straight lines, art on the left wall, then tree in the left corner to balance. That said, we haven't seen the remaining wall. I really love the feel of this room as is, something very soothing about it. One more thing. I think you can do better on the tablescape. I would love to see a long low ceramic planter, to bring in some color and texture, with faux or real succulents. The gold/brass glam is not in my eye mixing with the relaxed natural feel of your furniture. A chandelier is going to be important for the look of the room. Good luck!

    Or maybe an off white grass cloth then add some black accents with art or wall deco depending on the rest of your house. Or a sublet graphic wallpaper in black and off white. The dining set, which I love, has a rustic woodsy feel that I think could be complimented with wall coverings. The room has a very mono chromatic feel to it so I would not bring in too much color. Just a bit of green or blue green to go with the wood.

    So where is the OP I think they left the building. IMO if you post a dilemma the least you can do is come back from time to time and answer questions or just don't bother asking for advice.
