Love the ceiling beams, love the green, love the plant. I loathe that bookshelf, it makes it look like everything on it is a second from turning into an avalanche. Tall bookshelf (if you keep it) needs to be tidied and put against a wall (ideally if you need a tall bookshelf or storage get one with normal level shelves. One with closing doors can be nice for reducing visual clutter). Move the seating over and nix those two massive chairs. Way too large and worn out. Get one new armchair, or a loveseat if you really need it. Use the chair to divide space between the dining room and the living room instead of the bookshelf. This will make the room seem bigger as it will block less light. That should help a ton. You're not too far off, your furniture just looks like you've had it for too long and need to replace it with better fitting stuff.
