And obviously the happy first day of school banner is temporary. And yes, the vents up top so ugly. I know.

I’m envisioning a little more contrast and visual weight, so I think a green would look nice on the wall. A round mirror would soften all the straight lines, while a rectangular table and rug help define the dining area and tie the colors together. Then add some tall greenery and narrow glass cabinet for balance, storage and a little personality. Here’s a quick AI generated image to capture what I’m picturing.

Could go with two or three vertical prints of something that you love.

Thanks so much ladies! Idk why I didn’t think to try AI .. duh! Love both reimagined spaces. Thank you!!

You are welcome! Glad it helped!
