Can you take a pic looking into the kitchen so the spaces should work together.

I'd say a big print/picture on the wall, a nice light fitting (I can only see a bare bulb).

If that's doors to garden you could put up curtains?

I think you can pull this together with some elbow grease and a few dollars. I'm not sure what you mean about extending the breakfast bar, but since the top looks like dark granite and everything else appears to be very light and neutral it give the Kitchen a a cave like effect. You might find a darker chandalier and hang it 30" off the table top instead of so low. Use a flat weave rug in simple stripes or a cisal with a dark border. Darker seat cushions tied onto the chairs. Replace the mirror with a single large clorful print.

You'll need to deepen the wall color for the contrast you want. One overhead light is not enough for your dark corner. That is what we call "ambient" light - just a way to turn something on so you don't fall over furniture when entering in the dark. You'll need both accent and task lighting - lamps. Your current furniture is very large and is eating up this small space. Before you replace it with an equally large "suite" consider mixing it up with a pair of chairs and an apartment sized sofa. Here are some inspirations for color and a pair of chairs.

Thanks, I wasn't sure where the 9'4 measurement came in. If you're buying all new furniture then look for items on legs, as you can see the floor beneath it will make the space feel bigger. You can also use glass ie a glass coffee table or Louis ghost chairs for example. I'd also go for a large mirror over the hearth or not knowing your style could also have a ŵall of glass tiles for the same effect which will also bounce light. I'd go for a pale tone sofa and use warmer/darker colours for cushions if wanted. If you want a rug then I'd keep it in the same tone as the floor else to visually maximise floor space. I've drawn a very rough plan (not entirely to scale and obviously not knowing where doors etc are!). I assume you're wanting to buy furniture before you move in? If so do you have a similar size room where you could cut out paper templates of all furniture to see if the space works? I would mount the tv on the ŵall if you have one. Hanging it over a slim console (or slim cabinet for storage) means you can add art on the ŵall and accessorise the console so the tv doesn't become the feature of the ŵall. You could go for a coffee table or a small footstool which can double up as extra seating and table. I'd go for a round dining table, 3ft will seat 4 and you can pull it away from the corner when entertaining. i'd go for a 2 seater sofa (c5f?) but try and get a slim one. I don't know the size of the windows but blinds, shutters may also be an idea so curtains don't encroach on the floor space? In terms of decor do you want light and neutral or dark and moody then people can suggest paint colours?

I think the only place you could put a tv is probably the corner by the window...over the fireplace is probably too high. a walnut floor and new fresher paint colour would be lovely, would you consider painting the skirting boards and fireplace white or off white to modernise them a bit? we've painted the skirting in our living room (also a walnut floor) and it looks so much better than before. (Have yet to get around to the rest of the house!!)

A big piece of artwork full of intense colour on the wall by the table that we are looking at on the picture.

Why not add some other bright colors to this dining room by changing your set of dining table and chairs like the following pictures?

Or just change the chairs with the following plastic chairs:

It’s difficult to advise on half a room, but what’s lacking is accessories. Artwork, shelving, mirrors, lighting, more plants will help jazz it up. Are you going to put up curtains? You could put up a pair of patterned, ready made curtains to cosy it up. A geometric pattern in grey, or any colour you love, would look fab. Next and Dunelm have a nice selection.

Thanks Sonia, Ellie and Daisy for your replies..

sorry I am replying late.. pls find images of the room..

so I was thinking to have a set of frames on the wall on top of dining table with some quotes and colorful artwork .. on the right wall above the plant I was thinking to have a wall clock and on the left side next to door, thinking to have a display unit in oak to match my dining.. Are my thoughts okay ??

I was thinking to add a rug but I have an active 4 year old so not sure if it's a good idea..
