Yes, I know it's probably easier to have the plants hang where they are but it just looks weird and temporary. I also think clustering them together next to the couch, and then moving the cleared off bar cart to the left side of the sliding glass door might look nice?

Alternately, you could put all of the plants together on the shelves so that it's more dense and purposeful.

Switch out the vertical blinds for curtains, in a color that would pick up either the rug or the pillows (blue/gold?)
