sorry have no photos only ideas as of now.. dining room is about 8 foot to 10 foot

So you only have that one tiny window? Im not good with decorating but i believe you should get a bigger rug,remove the three pieces hanging on the wall behind the sectional they're too small ,and so are the ones by the dining area.i read in other discussions that art should be hung 6" above couch.look for a big piece of art to hang obove the sectional,are you gonna have a tv in this room?if you are may be you could move your couch to have it perpendicular to how it is now?that way a part of it will be on the wall where the shisha is and the other part will be floating in the room facing the wall with the three little frames where you could eventually place a tv .am i making any sense?one more thing move the dining set away from the wall and window a little bit ...i don't know i just commented to boost this dilemna up for someone to comment im curious about what anyone has to say

Yes, JudyG that's exactly the way people were using the taller table. Sort of a café look, or casual bar setting. One home had a beautiful huge kitchen all done in white with dark wood floors and RH style fixtures and hardware. Where you would normally think would be a traditional dining room, they had made it up with a large high table and 6 barstools. It almost looked like an extension of the island. Another one was in a very open and light kitchen. It was smaller and where you might think of putting a breakfast nook they had a round café-style table with four barstools. I liked it because it gave a more casual appearance. If people were sitting at them, they were on the same level as those working in the kitchen. Almost like a bar at the island for that effect, but with some separation.

#1 is the only one that works with your doorways. But I would rethink the sectional pieces which look too large. You will need at least a floor lamp. Your table/chairs looks narrow in relation to your sectional - is it to scale in the drawing? You may not have enough room. I would use a sofa against the wall and two chairs on either end facing toward each other.
