Bold choices but it looks like a waiting room with all of the pieces lining the walls. Your drum chandy over the dining table is too small scale. Needs to be 1/2 the width of your table and hang 36" or less above it. The one you have now would look good hanging with the portrait of the girl above the buffet or in a powder room or foyer. Lower all your art. Free standing art with centers at 60" above the floor. Pieces with furniture 4-6" above the piece they're with. Don't hang a mirror in the dining room unless it will reflect something beautiful or interesting like the view from one of your windows. Turn your rug the other direction and put the sofa on it perpendicular to the division between the two windows. It should face the single window. Flank the sofa with the two striped chairs, facing each other over the table you have in the corner. Try the striped bench/hassock in the corner where the table was. Raise the curtain rods to the ceiling. If the curtains are too short to kiss the floor, add a wide bold panel to the bottoms in the bright orange of your pillows. I think you should add a fun element like a bright orange bean bag chair on the floor in front of the window. If that is too much for you, add orange or yellow lumbar pillows to the dining chairs.

The right side of the room is looking towards the ocean. I plan to have a fan in the middle and would like lights on each side of the fan but not down lights. I will explore your suggestions. Thank you

Is that more like a really light tan colour? There is one at Harvey Norman I am looking at. It has lots of colour choices although I really liked the lounge on display. That was a cream pearl colour. Do you think that would be to light?

Hi Kerry, The framed artwork are great pieces and will look lovely on this wall. As your furniture is off to one side rather than centred to the wall, you’ll be needing to place your artwork centre to the sofa against the wall. In my line of work, I favour hanging artwork with their centre most points at eye level so as I walk into a room I see the art and can read the room with all its décor in a cohesive manner. From your images provided I would suggest hanging each piece at the very least 200mm apart, their centre-most point at 1500-1600mm and ensuring you have a space between the top most point of your sofa and the bottom of your artwork. The key is to not hang your art too high and close to the ceiling, as this can make your room look askew, or hand them too low and make your room look squished. Introducing a tall plant in the area around your armchair and side table will help balance the large wall or you could always hang a mirror or another piece of art of a large scale to your 3 prints.
