This used to be a sunroom but it is the only place to have the dining set. What should we do to make the decor/design better? Put an area rug?

I would do curtains rather than shades if you want to cozy up this area. Or perhaps layer them.

If you can take the children's toys into maybe the living room that would make the space more utilized. An area rug will add the "homey" feeling. Also I suggest some wall decoration: paintings, light fixtures, plants, etc. Anything for decoration. Also I am unsure of how larger the room is but if you can seem to center the table under the lighting fixture it would make all the difference.

The picture on too is the old owner's decoration. Sorry i forgot to include that in the description. But as to moving the dining table in the middle of the light fixture is almost impossible because it is off center and is almost aligned to a door on the right. I wish i have a floor plan but i dont.

Hej Mey, jag gillar idén om jutemattor! Och om man vill kan man ju ha en riktigt stor jutematta och sedan lägga en mindre matta ovanpå för att få lite färg. Här finns en massa matt-inspo: [https://www.houzz.se/magasin/klae-golven-saa-vaeljer-du-raett-matta-stsetivw-vs~63788938[(https://www.houzz.se/magasin/klae-golven-saa-vaeljer-du-raett-matta-stsetivw-vs~63788938) Hoppas du hittar en du gillar!

Hej Mona, I hope its ok write in English. I have a few suggestions for you, that should make you feel more at balance and at home with your living room. The shelf above the sofa looks great! Also super nice decorated and not too cluttered (happens more often than not in my house) Instead of having many small plants, swap them for 2-3 bigger ones, placed on the floor. Just because you have a window sill doesn’t mean it needs to be filled, less is more. I love the warm colours, the rusty orange, greens and beige. I only find the white knitted blanket to be a harsh contrast. Maybe it can move to another room? Since your TV is mounted on the wall, I would add a slim shelf/ box shelf underneath (also hanging on the wall) – depending on the type of receiver you have, you can even hide it behind the tv – there are fixtures for that. Then I would remove the tv bench underneath, for a more spacious feel of the room. The cables I would put in a plastic rail/ tub, leading to the outlet. In terms of wall paint, Id go for a warm dark grey on the wall behind the sofa & tv. If you have any more questions feel free to ask Hope I helped a little! Have a great day!

Hej jag förstår ditt problem det är viktigt med färgen för den kan ju förändra ett helt rum, jag skulle veta vilka färger du tänker, du skriver att du vill måla taket med är det i hallen eller hela stora rummet? Har man en färg som ligger nära besläktad med varandra behöver övergången inte bli så dramatisk och vill man ha en markerad övergång kan man sätta en bredare list där precis innan man kommer in i kök/vardagsrum den kan förslagsvis vara i samma kulör som köket eller något som passar övrig inredning. En annan lösning (beroende vilka kulörer du valt) är att måla ”hall 1” i en kulör och ”hall 2” och kök/storarum i en och samma. Då är det bara den lilla snutten vid sovrummet man ser från entrén och hall 1 väggen från andra hållet.

Go for a smaller two seater sofa with couple of armchairs, it's easier to move around. Ikea soft grey / beige sofa with wood arms is lovely in Scandinavian style. Plus the thick knot rug they have.

Like my previous suggestion then... maybe some pretty wall sconces. They will give more light to the table area. I could imagine at night it's not very illuminated.

Sorry to keep adding but also in the middle of the two windows on the left hand side of the picture, you can add lighting and/or wall art.

I was thinking of window shades instead of curtains? Or maybe thats a bad idea? Here are more pictures of this area

Can you at least provide room dimensions. Moving the light fixture to be centered over table would be first and either remove fan and replace with chandelier. If you want the fan over your table then a prettier fan light fixture that can be operated independent of the fan itself. Definitely an area rug large enough to comfortably slide chairs from table, about two feet from table on all four sides. Some white drapes framing windows and some artwork hung at eye level for color. It's a start. Oh, and some flowers on the table couldn't hurt. ;-). Just get started with one thing at a time and work you way through.

The dining set will be gone because I will be buying a new one. The room is 11x23.

Absolute was posting picture of my ideas as I was typing. Great minds LOL. I would recommend one of the more colorful rugs they suggested. And matchstick shades will be more casual. They do look great with drapes. Bring in more color from your rug for pictures and accessories like placemats, table runner, etc.

Changing the fan, and dinning set would be majorly beneficial.

Not sure if you have a dining set or not? If starting from scratch, the idea in first picture would be really nice at the far end and add sconces on either side of window and rattan roman blinds. Then at this end, you may have room for a little sitting/reading area. I would paint the cabinets white and accessorize the counter - see below. I would change the fan to a pendant and add a floor lamp near the chair. Suggest a sisal in each section and paint the walls white for a fresh, modern look. If you already have furniture, work with an on line room planner to see how everything will be placed...but either way before you buy any rug - furniture size and placement will be important considerations.

Because you are buying new table, that should be first so your rug dimensions will be dictated by table size. The big items first and take cues from colors in rug. You have a blank slate and a nice blue wall color to work from.

Not sure what your budge it (if any), but a half wall between kitchen and dining with a column would look nice

Below are two very different ideas from our design portfolio of what you could do with the space. One has curtains and a long table, the other a round table and roman shades.
