I think that the walls are large enough that you could use a print on your drapes. I might even extend the bar a few feet and add more sections of fabric.

I'd also move the chair to where the palm tree is and use the ottoman with it. It looks like it is free floating right now. Since it's a conversation area rather than a TV room, I'd love to see a third piece of furniture, perhaps a dark red loveseat?

One easy fix - head to your nearest garden supply store and get a nice marble-look pot for your palm if you are intent on keeping it. It will fill out a bit of space and keep the height that the room needs.

As for the walls - I think your sofa and interesting lamps would really pop if you painted all three walls the accent color. Right now they are all lost on the large beige expanse. I'd love to see some sepia-tone family photos hung over the sofa as well. You could arrange them symmetrically to keep the traditional style of the rug or find an interesting way to arrange them on the wall to add an unexpected twist to the room.
