I have no idea what she was talking about, sometimes that is the prettiest place to put a small table, if you like it leave it, I think it looks nice the chair makes it look a little crowded next to the sofa could you have more room on the other side if you want the chair.

It seems to work from the photo you posted!

I think it looks nice! I would agree with Patricia, maybe move the chair to a different location. Here are a few other items that may look nice on the table with your sunflowers:

Hope this helps!

There's not enough room on the other side for the chair so I think I'll just leave it as it is and add stuff like the boxes that was recommended. Thank you all very much!!
