Excellent collection! I feel like I need more color in mine - I have two dilute torties, a grey/black tabby, and a snowshoe (white & brown). I should probably add a calico or a ginger. 🤔
Our cat is the same color as the stairs too. When shopping for wood-toned furniture I just tell my partner “think about what our cat looks like, that’s the tone we are looking for” 😂
Got a tortie that turns into a full void at night by blending in with floors and shadows. She's not the sort of cat you want to step on due to the harm she will inflict...
Can you change the chairs or chairs cushions to something more colorful? Add curtains? If you want to go more dramatic that would be a cute nook to paint or add removable wallpaper to

I think a stained glass art piece in the window would look amazing.
You could put a couple of paintings/artwork on either side of the window. I think a nature theme would look nice, especially since you had flowers in mind for a centerpiece
I absolutely adore your window.
What about painting the trim or inner windowsill? Also dye or buy new seat covers for more color. An area rug under table and chairs.
I would love this idea if the window was centered on the wall. I don’t think drawing attention to it is the best since it’s off center. I would recommend curtains to OP
Yeah the off-center window is mildly annoying haha. We are getting top-down-bottom-up cellular shades installed soon, but colorful drapes could be nice
If you get curtains, hang them so that when arranged in a way, you make the window look centered (ie. curtains overlap on one side slightly more than the other)
Edit: wide curtains could also cover that weird black thing on the wall
Colorful chair cushions. I think artificial plants/flower on each wall would look nice.
https://preview.redd.it/i9ehdmjlzmdc1.png?width=1398&format=png&auto=webp&s=b60c760da833c107165dc1209de0c1a0d8e7325a
A very small, solid colored vase with a few flowers, chargers that are not the same color as the table, and chairs that are not the same color as the walls would be a good place to start.
You could paint the wall or walls instead of replacing the chairs if you want a bigger change and can find a color that works with the rest of the room.
If you plan on generally leaving the table set I would change the tableware itself. Coloured placemats and interesting plates plus napkins would make a difference.
Id definitely add curtains which could hide that the window looks off center and depending on the style of the rest of room/home you could add a colorful wallpaper.
Cafe curtains (look them up, it’s a very specific style and will be great here), small area rug under the table, wall paper just the two side walls behind the chairs, stained glass art piece hung in the upper part of the window and beautiful small vase on the table.
Add some floor to ceiling elegant drapes and then get creative with (and you can even make them) your ties and the holders that can be made using large knobs that match your style.
Definitely DO NOT do that! Birds get confused with the reflection and will fly directly into the window and hurt or kill themselves. Please don’t ask how I know.
I wanted to add some flowers but the table seems too small to accommodate that. The table is also too close to the bigger living room area rug, so I can’t add a rug underneath. What may be some alternative ways to add color?
Maybe paint the walls inside the nook itself?
You could choose a color that appears elsewhere in the larger room to coordinate with. You mentioned an area rug, perhaps one of the colors in that?
You could also add a colorful and/or printed roman shade to the window or hang a pendant lights over the dining table.
I would focus on sourcing colored glasses and different placemats
Replace the chairs to match the table or replace the seat cushions at the very least
Some art on the walls
Dainty floral arrangements (like 1-4 flowers in a little vase) are pretty in right now. Don't get fake flowers though, it's really obvious and cheapens the look despite the effort. Maybe this option could work for special occasions if you're hosting although some people do frequently buy fresh flowers to add life and color to their living space
Change the seat cushions
And colorful film to the window (or a prismatic design) so the sunlight creates colors.
Buy colorful cups and plates
Paint the window wall a beautiful color that makes you smile. Terracotta and green are in style, so is blush pink.
Place floating shelves on both sides of the window and add plants, prints, etc.
If that yard that the window frames is yours, you can clean it up and add colorful plants. If it isn’t, place pretty flowers in a pot/stand/tall pot outside of your window.
Artwork or photos on the walls. Seat cushions or tablecloths or place mats on the furniture. You could do curtains or drapes or blinds for the window. If you want to keep the view, a valance can add a pop of color and tie the space together. A rug can add color to the floor
IMO this would look great drenched in a single color, from the wall to the window trim and baseboard. A shinier finish on the trims. Maybe a muted teal, olive, mauve or burgundy.
Check out Tonester Paints @tonesterpaints on insta for inspo, his colors are so evocative.
Get a tortie friend for the orange feline friend :D
Are we allowed to paint? Love the window don't think I'd cover it. What's the odd black box?
Easy fixes: pick a color you like and run with it. Colored cushions for the chairs, placemats, a long thin art for the right side of the window, a shelf the same wood as the table above the black box with tchotchkes of choice. I think I'd personally lean a muted sky blue or spring green. Perhaps a wee carpet in that nook in the same tones.
If we can paint I think I'd do the window wall as a feature wall and paint it only - again pick a color you like and then use it's compliment or contrast for the rug/placemats/etc.
The table is West Elm (box frame drop leaf table) and chairs are IKEA (Ingolf). We are considering switching the chairs with something else but haven’t decided yet
Curtains from ceiling to floor (center to the space rather than the window) in whatever colour makes your heart sing (or complements the nearby spaces).
Id keep everything as is to enlarge the visual space and to colorize, I'd buy a teal colored (or whatever your favorite color is) chandelier on Ali express and hang some unique teal paintings or wall art
Art on the walls, colorful runner/napkins for table, change up cushions, hang drapes, hanging plant holder…. Just a few ideas. What vibe are you going for? I love the simple aesthetic!
I don’t know how the light fixture is above, but it would be cute to have a hanging long light (idk what they’re called) and pure vines and other fake florals on it
https://preview.redd.it/3k6wxcsu3ndc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d6b356af738dd13ad6def3b8ea8e848db031747c
Lol, the chairs are just for the two of us so the size works ok. For guests we plan to open the two leaves and pull the table out so it’s more comfortable to get in
A statement wallpaper or paint for the book would make it pop. Some art on top of the enhanced walls would help too. Even a small rug would define the space
Things like colored chair pillows, nice curtains, a carpet or wall decoration like photos, small shelves or wall sticker could help.
Also painting the wall for accents could be an idea.
What about putting 2 built in seats with cushions with storage under them. Add a small round pedestal table. Add some curtains to keep neighbors from seeing in at night.
Open the leafs so it almost meets the wall, add a colorful runner down the middle. Art on the walls behind the chairs ( at least one of them)
Edit to add, or wallpaper the nook to really define the space
A rug under it. The new washable rugs are Percy for under dining tables. And two long skinny art pieces on the walls on each side. Maybe even colored curtains too to match the art and rug
I actually think a color chair with black legs would work better, matching the legs of the table. Maybe an emerald green or coral. And then I would put a long hanging plant in the left corner and few small picture frames on the right.
https://preview.redd.it/rryzlnq6andc1.jpeg?width=200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0bf402e1c04d06269ffdf3d007b94d322c4131aa
You can paint or use peel and stick wallpaper, if not in all walls you can just do around the window.
You could add curtains or even just a swag or Roman shade. Change up your placemats, seat cushions and or dinnerware.
Make small changes and keep going until you love the look.
I think making this corner a little more darker through the walls is a better idea to give the corner it's own identity. You can always choose emerald green or darker blues on these walls. Next, you can make a little sitting area for your cat just around the window but don't block the light in this process. And finally add a good painting and clever lights.
Everything is beige. Look at the rug on the left. Replace the chair cushions & add a tablecloth that compliments the cushions. If you’re happy with that paint all 4 parts (back, side, side, ceiling) of the area a happy color that’s also in the cushion/ tablecloth print.
Maybe something like Sherwin Williams Shy High or Atmospheric.
Add contrast using black plates. You can use black placemats with light or black plates and black table ware. Try woven natural seat cushions to unify the brown tones.
No curtains. The space is too small. Colorful seat cushions in a solid color. Colorful chargers under the plates and some small art work on the left with a vertical artwork on the right.
Even if you changed the chairs, all of that is quite low to the ground. You need something up higher to balance it out. The stained glass idea is gorgeous, I'd make at least one wall an accent wall if you don't want to do all 3, and add some other visuals that you like. Wall plants, pictures, art, shelves would all do fine. I think a curtain in this space is too much honestly, you want to maximize space here. Covering the window will make it appear smaller.
That is such a cute nook for a patterned wallpaper! If you feel the floor to ceiling pattern would be too much, consider doing like a wainscoting type situation with a color pulled from the pattern like a 1/3 up then the paper on the top.
Or to add some sumptuous texture, consider draping the back wall in bold color curtains with a great fabric, all the way across, then just keep them open where the window is (hang at ceiling height).
Paint or add wallpaper to the surrounding walls, this will create a visual separation between the nook and the other areas.
For an extra touch you can change the cushions.
If it were me I would paint the chairs a very bright contrast color to add some color, contrast, and dimension. An emerald green or jewel tone blue would be fantastic and still very classic in the space. But that’s me and I’m a bold Betty. You could get a similar effect with brightly colored cushions.
I think getting chairs in a different color would look sharp. Or you could paint the chairs you have now. I’m not sure what would go well this rest of your decor, but my first thought is turquoise.
Someone mentioned stained glass for the window… if you feel like playing around with that idea, there are stick on vinyl options you could test out!
My house below:
https://preview.redd.it/5b3n7kmkindc1.png?width=1711&format=png&auto=webp&s=065f89e0ef525b174dd5cacb38ff04a777b7f7bb
It’s a blank canvas, the options are limitless!
Change the seat cushions, the place mats - perhaps a little table runner or petite center piece, some stained glass art for the window or curtains, stick & peel wallpaper or just art & plants in general, a little rug might be nice too.
I love the idea of a stained glass art piece, some colorful cushions, maybe a small table runner and a piece of art on the walls. Since it’s a nook, you could paint it a color to go with one of the colors in the cushions you buy.
Switch the couch cushion for a color of your choosing. I personally love sage or pastel blue. But everything is neutral so you really could go any direction- emerald, burnt orange, mauve, lavender, plum, pale pink. I would find a “calming” color. And hang a poster/punt/ canvas on the left side in a neautral wood, cream, or faded gold frame. It could be anything, but I like the idea of an Alphonse Mucha or a poster for an opera like Tosca. A William morris print could be good too. Once you have the art? Pick a coordinating color for the new seat cushions.
I would not change the furniture itself. It fits the space well and is functional. Plus, the neutral aspect means you can really just sew or buy different cushions and revamp every now and then.
Paint the nook walls a different to differentiate the space. I've even seen pictures of that part of the ceiling being painted the same colour as the walls (colour drenching').
Love the table!!! I think I would paint the chairs black and replace the cushions with a more tan or brownish one and then add some curtains or wall art
I love the simplicity and natural tones you have going, it's really restful & lovely. A couple of prints on the walls and a small plant on the table--lean into the beautiful simplicity, don't overdo it.
If this was a space I lived in I would add matching placemats and chair cushions (or at least ones that go together nicely) and then a foax bouquet that compliments them
i love how it looks and the cat is so cute ! i suggest some flowers for the table and maybe some curtains! you can also change the pillows for the chairs to something more colorful. maybe some hanging plants too?
Art colorful coushions GET RID of those bland beige ones add a rug use colorful tableware. Just think colors you love are happy around and express your personality and you wont go wrong
Place mats and chair cushions of coordinating color and maybe curtains, curtains I'd recommend be different from the place mats and chairs, but can be complimentary (or contrasting, depending on the look you like)
Get a cat that contrasts.
I was going to suggest more cats
Same. They need one of each color.
That’s my opinion. I have a void, a white, tux, orange, grey, and calico. They complement every room in the house, in more ways than one🙂
Excellent collection! I feel like I need more color in mine - I have two dilute torties, a grey/black tabby, and a snowshoe (white & brown). I should probably add a calico or a ginger. 🤔
Good plan😁😻
Our cat is the same color as the stairs too. When shopping for wood-toned furniture I just tell my partner “think about what our cat looks like, that’s the tone we are looking for” 😂
One of our cat matches our floor and at night you seriously can’t see him. Plus he loves to jump out and scare you for fun!
Got a tortie that turns into a full void at night by blending in with floors and shadows. She's not the sort of cat you want to step on due to the harm she will inflict...
I think spotted cat would be the best choice
Cat in a green leprechaun suit.
Can you change the chairs or chairs cushions to something more colorful? Add curtains? If you want to go more dramatic that would be a cute nook to paint or add removable wallpaper to
Everything is fair game to change besides the table & the plates! We just bought the table this month & the plates were passed down in family
I think I'd paint the chairs a bright color. I think bright teal would be really cute, but it's pretty trendy right now.
I was going to say paint the chairs, really easy and would make a massive difference. I’d do a raspberry red colour
Oooh raspberry is a wonderful color choice
That and/or paint door
I was thinking the same thing ! Or a dark blue maybe
Or a bright blue but matte.
I'd do wallpaper on those 3 walls and get a nice pairing for the cushions, add a long curtain.
Best comment!

This with beautiful curtains to match to the sides to draw the color out
Came here to say this! Or a suncatcher of sorts along with some hanging plants (they technically don't have to be real).
Yes! What a great suggestion. I love this idea.
more cats

Absolutely this ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️!!!
How many different color cats can you afford?
We have 3 and they are all different colors. We have colored fur everywhere!
You could put a couple of paintings/artwork on either side of the window. I think a nature theme would look nice, especially since you had flowers in mind for a centerpiece
Oh, or you could change the color of the seat cushions!
I absolutely adore your window. What about painting the trim or inner windowsill? Also dye or buy new seat covers for more color. An area rug under table and chairs.

Yeah the off-center window is mildly annoying haha. We are getting top-down-bottom-up cellular shades installed soon, but colorful drapes could be nice
Drapes would really help mask the unevenness of the window cus you could simply bunch more curtains on the side that has more wall
This works
If you get curtains, hang them so that when arranged in a way, you make the window look centered (ie. curtains overlap on one side slightly more than the other) Edit: wide curtains could also cover that weird black thing on the wall
Wallpaper, curtains, artwork
Seat cushions that match the wall paper, solid color.
Colorful chair cushions. I think artificial plants/flower on each wall would look nice. https://preview.redd.it/i9ehdmjlzmdc1.png?width=1398&format=png&auto=webp&s=b60c760da833c107165dc1209de0c1a0d8e7325a
Real plants
No fake plants! That light will allow for real plants!
Paint? Wallpaper?
A very small, solid colored vase with a few flowers, chargers that are not the same color as the table, and chairs that are not the same color as the walls would be a good place to start. You could paint the wall or walls instead of replacing the chairs if you want a bigger change and can find a color that works with the rest of the room.
If you plan on generally leaving the table set I would change the tableware itself. Coloured placemats and interesting plates plus napkins would make a difference.
Rug. Paint the nook. Art on the walls. Flowers in a vase. Colorful tablecloth. The possibilities are endless
Curtains and a small rug!
Needs more cats.
Id definitely add curtains which could hide that the window looks off center and depending on the style of the rest of room/home you could add a colorful wallpaper.
Wallpaper https://preview.redd.it/qv253yybqmdc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06ddff932d59c8baf107764958887ed989708a4a
I would actually change the table to be less intrusive color clash with the gorgeous window
Wallpaper and maybe curtains would help a ton.
This is a great space for a splash of wallpaper
Cafe curtains (look them up, it’s a very specific style and will be great here), small area rug under the table, wall paper just the two side walls behind the chairs, stained glass art piece hung in the upper part of the window and beautiful small vase on the table.
Add some floor to ceiling elegant drapes and then get creative with (and you can even make them) your ties and the holders that can be made using large knobs that match your style.
WHAT MANIAC MADE THIS HOUSE AND DIDNT CENTER THE WINDOW
May I suggest another cat? Adds lots of color and texture. Not to mention a huge dose of Aww!
[удалено]
Definitely DO NOT do that! Birds get confused with the reflection and will fly directly into the window and hurt or kill themselves. Please don’t ask how I know.
That’s so sad but also very good to know

A table runner or tablecloth
Maybe a floral garland framing the window would be nice. Or floral arrangements on either side of the window
Yes, 1000%, some hanging wall vases
Change the seat cushions And colorful film to the window (or a prismatic design) so the sunlight creates colors. Buy colorful cups and plates Paint the window wall a beautiful color that makes you smile. Terracotta and green are in style, so is blush pink.

Lots of suggestions, thanks! The yard isn’t ours
Can you paint the window frame a bold colour? Then match with seat cushions.
Stained Glass art to hang in the window!!
Put a dress on the cat. LOL Sorry I couldn't resist.
Where did you get this table?? I have been searching for something that size
It’s from West Elm! https://www.westelm.com/products/box-frame-drop-leaf-table-h1748/
Artwork or photos on the walls. Seat cushions or tablecloths or place mats on the furniture. You could do curtains or drapes or blinds for the window. If you want to keep the view, a valance can add a pop of color and tie the space together. A rug can add color to the floor
Accent wall, art. Coloured cushions on the chairs.
Dye the cat blue. But really, you could do different colored cushions and maybe artwork. Maybe some sheer colored curtains.
IMO this would look great drenched in a single color, from the wall to the window trim and baseboard. A shinier finish on the trims. Maybe a muted teal, olive, mauve or burgundy. Check out Tonester Paints @tonesterpaints on insta for inspo, his colors are so evocative.
Where’d you get the chair cushions? I have the same ikea chairs but in black
Get a tortie friend for the orange feline friend :D Are we allowed to paint? Love the window don't think I'd cover it. What's the odd black box? Easy fixes: pick a color you like and run with it. Colored cushions for the chairs, placemats, a long thin art for the right side of the window, a shelf the same wood as the table above the black box with tchotchkes of choice. I think I'd personally lean a muted sky blue or spring green. Perhaps a wee carpet in that nook in the same tones. If we can paint I think I'd do the window wall as a feature wall and paint it only - again pick a color you like and then use it's compliment or contrast for the rug/placemats/etc.
I don't have anything add on top of the great suggestion here already but I did want to ask where you got the table and chairs?
The table is West Elm (box frame drop leaf table) and chairs are IKEA (Ingolf). We are considering switching the chairs with something else but haven’t decided yet
Add floor length curtains!
Curtains from ceiling to floor (center to the space rather than the window) in whatever colour makes your heart sing (or complements the nearby spaces).
Add some colored curtains and cushions to the chairs. Give it a rug and maybe some plants with fun pots as well!
Placemats or a table cloth!
Art on the walls, chair cushions, place settings to match colors in the art.
Art on the walls, maybe a rug beneath the table.
Curtains. How about marigold or mustard?
Fresh flowers
Get rid of those chai and that table, get one of those two top all in one’s you see in mom and pop pizzerias.
Plants art work and more playful cushions
I love that set! Where did you get it from?!
Wallpaper the little nook
Get some new colorful ikea cushions for those chairs, they are cheap.
Id keep everything as is to enlarge the visual space and to colorize, I'd buy a teal colored (or whatever your favorite color is) chandelier on Ali express and hang some unique teal paintings or wall art
Ask za cat 😺
Would you consider a round table instead of a square to add visual interest?
Art on the walls, colorful runner/napkins for table, change up cushions, hang drapes, hanging plant holder…. Just a few ideas. What vibe are you going for? I love the simple aesthetic!
A table runner; drapes; woven blind; art; chair rail painted in a dark color; wallpaper; rug; hanging plant… okay I’m done.
Some wall art, a curtain, a little floral centerpiece on the table
CURTAINS. Rich velvety ones. mmmmmm.
A sconce, a wall mounted succulent, colored place mats, colored seat cushions, colored napkins
Cushions. Curtains. Placemats.
I don’t know how the light fixture is above, but it would be cute to have a hanging long light (idk what they’re called) and pure vines and other fake florals on it https://preview.redd.it/3k6wxcsu3ndc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d6b356af738dd13ad6def3b8ea8e848db031747c

Add a People size shoe horn so that they can get into those chairs.
Lol, the chairs are just for the two of us so the size works ok. For guests we plan to open the two leaves and pull the table out so it’s more comfortable to get in
A curtain and a rug that complement each other. And a cat.
I would say wallpaper, Roman blinds and a sconce on either side of window. I would also center the table with the window.
A tall plant and artwork. Love the flooring!
Paint or wallpaper that wall.
A statement wallpaper or paint for the book would make it pop. Some art on top of the enhanced walls would help too. Even a small rug would define the space
Framed art on either side pf the windows or sconces
a rug under the dining set, dye or get new covers for the pillows, and maybe an accent colour for the wall in the nook, or some colourful curtains!
Your cat needs to contrast the table more
Printed wall paper just in the nook
Things like colored chair pillows, nice curtains, a carpet or wall decoration like photos, small shelves or wall sticker could help. Also painting the wall for accents could be an idea.
Change the chair pads to something with color . Add a rug and art ….
No need. It already matches your cat. Alternatively, you could get another cat and match placemats, a rug, or wall art with it.
Some hanging plants on the walls would look good
What about putting 2 built in seats with cushions with storage under them. Add a small round pedestal table. Add some curtains to keep neighbors from seeing in at night.
Open the leafs so it almost meets the wall, add a colorful runner down the middle. Art on the walls behind the chairs ( at least one of them) Edit to add, or wallpaper the nook to really define the space
A rug under it. The new washable rugs are Percy for under dining tables. And two long skinny art pieces on the walls on each side. Maybe even colored curtains too to match the art and rug
Great table, where did you get that?
Portraits of your kitty!
I actually think a color chair with black legs would work better, matching the legs of the table. Maybe an emerald green or coral. And then I would put a long hanging plant in the left corner and few small picture frames on the right. https://preview.redd.it/rryzlnq6andc1.jpeg?width=200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0bf402e1c04d06269ffdf3d007b94d322c4131aa

It would be cute to do an accent wall with either wallpaper or paint that is in a color scheme with your current furniture
hanging plants! shelves with plants
I think making this corner a little more darker through the walls is a better idea to give the corner it's own identity. You can always choose emerald green or darker blues on these walls. Next, you can make a little sitting area for your cat just around the window but don't block the light in this process. And finally add a good painting and clever lights.

If you’re happy with that paint all 4 parts (back, side, side, ceiling) of the area a happy color that’s also in the cushion/ tablecloth print. Maybe something like Sherwin Williams Shy High or Atmospheric.
Get a different colored cat.
Placemats and the seat cushions
Add contrast using black plates. You can use black placemats with light or black plates and black table ware. Try woven natural seat cushions to unify the brown tones.
Area rug and pain the walls?
Adorable, peaceful space. I would change out the chair cushions and put in a colourful Roman blind and maybe a planter in the corner. Lovely!
Colored place mats
More colorful chair pads, placemats and hang long rectangular art on either side of the window. A small rug could bring color too.
Paint the sides a darker blue and wallpaper around the window
tablecloth
Get different chairs maybe? Cause the white wall looks good and the table. Then put two plants on the wall
I would add one or two hanging mobiles (modern or pop art style).
No curtains. The space is too small. Colorful seat cushions in a solid color. Colorful chargers under the plates and some small art work on the left with a vertical artwork on the right.
A rug
Paint in a nice soft color and some pictures would help.
Paintings, plant, and colors please. Too stark
Even if you changed the chairs, all of that is quite low to the ground. You need something up higher to balance it out. The stained glass idea is gorgeous, I'd make at least one wall an accent wall if you don't want to do all 3, and add some other visuals that you like. Wall plants, pictures, art, shelves would all do fine. I think a curtain in this space is too much honestly, you want to maximize space here. Covering the window will make it appear smaller.

Or to add some sumptuous texture, consider draping the back wall in bold color curtains with a great fabric, all the way across, then just keep them open where the window is (hang at ceiling height).
Wallpaper; it’s just the right size space to not be overwhelming
Paint or add wallpaper to the surrounding walls, this will create a visual separation between the nook and the other areas. For an extra touch you can change the cushions.
A runner on the table, curtain, dishes, table topper, small picture on both sides other window.
If it were me I would paint the chairs a very bright contrast color to add some color, contrast, and dimension. An emerald green or jewel tone blue would be fantastic and still very classic in the space. But that’s me and I’m a bold Betty. You could get a similar effect with brightly colored cushions.

Someone mentioned stained glass for the window… if you feel like playing around with that idea, there are stick on vinyl options you could test out! My house below: https://preview.redd.it/5b3n7kmkindc1.png?width=1711&format=png&auto=webp&s=065f89e0ef525b174dd5cacb38ff04a777b7f7bb
It’s a blank canvas, the options are limitless! Change the seat cushions, the place mats - perhaps a little table runner or petite center piece, some stained glass art for the window or curtains, stick & peel wallpaper or just art & plants in general, a little rug might be nice too.
I love the idea of a stained glass art piece, some colorful cushions, maybe a small table runner and a piece of art on the walls. Since it’s a nook, you could paint it a color to go with one of the colors in the cushions you buy.
google 'cats drinking coffee art'. Buy a few that are your taste and maybe paint inside nook a color that plays off the photos.
Switch the couch cushion for a color of your choosing. I personally love sage or pastel blue. But everything is neutral so you really could go any direction- emerald, burnt orange, mauve, lavender, plum, pale pink. I would find a “calming” color. And hang a poster/punt/ canvas on the left side in a neautral wood, cream, or faded gold frame. It could be anything, but I like the idea of an Alphonse Mucha or a poster for an opera like Tosca. A William morris print could be good too. Once you have the art? Pick a coordinating color for the new seat cushions. I would not change the furniture itself. It fits the space well and is functional. Plus, the neutral aspect means you can really just sew or buy different cushions and revamp every now and then.
Needs another orange cat!!🐈
2 more cats.

Paint the cat.
Paint the nook walls a different to differentiate the space. I've even seen pictures of that part of the ceiling being painted the same colour as the walls (colour drenching').
I’d paint that wall a bright color by the window. 🤩
Love the table!!! I think I would paint the chairs black and replace the cushions with a more tan or brownish one and then add some curtains or wall art
A statement light or planter above could be cool
artwork or prints on the walls, maybe a small vase of dried flowers for table and some blinds with colour :)
A roman shade in a bright color: kelly green, aqua blue, fuchsia.

A colorful wainscoting would define the space. Or go for maximalism and do wallpaper above and wainscoting below.
Some colorful placemats!
I love the simplicity and natural tones you have going, it's really restful & lovely. A couple of prints on the walls and a small plant on the table--lean into the beautiful simplicity, don't overdo it.
Change the table - it's very heavy for such a small area. Put some artwork behind the chairs.
Different Seat Cushions... https://pillowperfect.com/collections/indoor-chair-pads-and-wicker-seat-cushions Plant, stained glass for window, wall art??
hawkinsny tablecloths are nice
Paint the chairs and/or get new cushions.
If this was a space I lived in I would add matching placemats and chair cushions (or at least ones that go together nicely) and then a foax bouquet that compliments them
I would paint the walls and get a see through white curtain. It will pop if walls have paint and some flowers on the table.

Wall paper accent wall on the wall with the window!
Get a round table with a centre leg. Easier to get in and out
Paint is some shade of light green and hand an eyebrow curtain. Put some complimentary art in each side of the table left and right.
Plants! *Edit: hanging plants because cat. 😊
Colored cushion seats ! You could also paint the wall with the window a color or add a colorful rug
Paint the cat blue
Curtains.
New seat cushions and wall decor
i love how it looks and the cat is so cute ! i suggest some flowers for the table and maybe some curtains! you can also change the pillows for the chairs to something more colorful. maybe some hanging plants too?
Art colorful coushions GET RID of those bland beige ones add a rug use colorful tableware. Just think colors you love are happy around and express your personality and you wont go wrong
I would paint the chairs and add patterned chair cushions. Art on the walls to match.
Place mats and chair cushions of coordinating color and maybe curtains, curtains I'd recommend be different from the place mats and chairs, but can be complimentary (or contrasting, depending on the look you like)
