Hi. I don't know what your preferred styles are but I can see a scandi style working if you painted the chairs. Which way does the room face? I might go for white walls ( and shelves/cabinet if allowed). Paint 3 of the chairs in the blue/grey colour and the last white. Perhaps a round mirror over the fire. Align the table with the fire and light. You could add a light grey patterned rug under the table or something with texture. Maybe a chair like this angled in the window with a throw over it. A floor lamp in the left corner by the bookshelves. Perhaps a picture shelf with varying sizes of art ( picking up a little colour) opposite the fire so it limits on ŵall holes. I'd also fill the shelves a bit more to disguise the brackets personally although be careful it doesn't look like clutter. Perhaps more of a statement light? There are some nice star ones around. Also pop something on the table with a little colour. Do you have the budget to add blinds? You may of course not like scandi though!

I searched everywhere for a round extending glass table and eventually found this ingenious piece of engineering of an extending table. It extends into a large oval and I have seated upto 10 people around it . It cost a lot of money but I love it, only downside is it takes a lot to keep it looking sparkling clean. Also you can keep an eye on your guest and see if anyone is playing footsie under the table. I have moved several times with this table and it has fitted in perfectly in every home. It also gets a lot of ohh's and ahh's when you show people how it extends. It is worth every substantial penny I bought it for.

I have an old 1930's table which is square and can fold out to rectangle when needed - some may think it looks ugly but I've grown to love it!

I didn't vote, I don't want either really. I'm not into things that make a "statement". I like thing to be harmonious, which compliment and co-ordinate with each other, no one item thing standing out. I don't mind things that are a focal point of a room, but I don't want them to dominate the rest of the furniture or furnishings, so you only see that one thing. Besides, who am I making a statement to?
