Glam & Chic Living and Dining Interior Design

I have an open concept living room/dining room/kitchen that needs some serious help. Our furniture is over 10 years old and has made 3 moves, one across the country. I love cozy chic with a bit of glam, but don't want something that will become dated quickly. We have kids and dogs, so we need durable furniture!

I am not a fan of bright colors, I would be ok with some muted tones like blush or copper.

The living room section of this room tends to feel too enclosed for me. It faces north so we don't get a lot of natural light, so making it feel more open and airy is the goal.

I love lots of various textures, wood, and would like to bring in some plants (faux).

I am always a fan of tastefully displayed family photos.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE good lighting. I think lighting can really make a room feel elegant and high class. I'm open to wired lighting and plug in options. We have pot lights, which we hate using because of how harsh the lighting is.

The living room is the room we spend the most time in as a family and with friends.
The dining room is rarely used. It just doesn't feel very functional and comfortable, but we'd prefer to use that if we loved it.

I'm a total lover of wall coverings and interesting texture on the walls. Any advice for that is great, too.

I have plans to upgrade the kitchen in the future and can include the countertop that I love and want to incorporate someday.
