Add some accent lights like a chandelier above your dining-table and play around with the best position of lamps in combination with any mirrors in the room which.
Decorate with light colours ,furniture and fabrics.
Unless you want to go for a very specific darker style, try keeping it light and airy in terms of choice of colours, fabrics and furniture objects.
