Here is pic!

Hi, Texan here, too. :)

What I’d do in this room:

A curtain rod that spans the width of the window wall, with art on each side wall.

Terrible mock-ups, but hard for me to do a good one from an angle. I don’t know your decor style, or measurements, so am just showing the idea … not suggesting these specific items.

Whatever shape table you decide, it might work/look better to lay the rug vertically, as well as the table (unless you do a round one). You’ll need to show more angles of the room for more suggestions on placement.

I definitely wouldn’t sink a lot money into someone else’s house and I wouldn’t try to cheesy fake that there are windows there — curtains all the way around, mirrors, etc. You could embrace it and make it a cool art nook.

ETA: Another idea, if you’re a handy DIYer, is a bench built-in. You’d just have the one window, yes, but again, could do art on the side walls, and have pillows. If you’re handy, it shouldn’t be a huge investment, or you could use bench seating that’s not built-in. Just depends on your needs.

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much! I love your suggestions. It gives me a confident start. I agree! I dont like cheesy and I cant sink a ton of money into it… but I am handy and love the idea of a little window seat! Love the idea of wall art on each side/ mirror. I have also never even considered moving the table a different direction. That would significantly help the space between bar stools and dining. Thank you so much!

Can we see the entire room. Why the table up against the window? Seems squished. If the rug is turned so should the table turn.

No rug for this area and replace the rectangular table with a round table. I like the idea of the curved banquette but that can get $$$

@BeverlyFLADeziner has the right idea with the round table and open chairs. See if you can find something for a good price on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.

On the right side of the window, I'd hang two attention grabbing vertical pieces of art. Treat that as a focal area to anchor your round table nook. The pic below has a super weird corner going on and the pics they hung just take your attention away from the strange corner and balance the whole area out.

I think she is right that it looks better with no rug. Consider a sheer curtain for the window that goes down to the floor.
