You need a much larger painting or print on the wall behind the
table to bring everything together in the room. I only think this,
of course, because my LLL is a painter and I'm used to seeing some
of his large pieces
displayed in both large and small spaces. Something 6ft length by
4ft high
or 5x3, unframed, would really set off the back wall. Muted shades,
unless
you really want this wall to POP! But I'm not promoting his work,
just saying, I think the wall deserves more. Seek out what you
like, but the wall looks rather bare, IMHO.

Not only would larger art work bring drama to the room, it needs to
be hung a whole lot lower so it relates to the furniture.

I wasn't going to say so, but that was my first thought. I'm 5'3" and if I
wanted to looked at the pieces in the dining room I'd feel like I needed to
stand on a chair, which of course would be inappropriate :)
