This look appeals to me!

I think they blend well enough.

 

I also think it borders on rude to force your guests to sit on a single long bench behind a long table. Unless they're serving little kids or their dog's friends, they should know few adults want to make that effort.

 

The curtains don't make sense. They're already somewhat sheer so any extra light gained by the unblocked upper portion is not a good tradeoff for the odd look.

The color flows joining the two rooms nicely.  I just wouldn't "half" the windows with a rod destroying the view.  I'd use long sheer panels in egg shell that could be pushed to the side.

I think the rooms do work together in the same space. But with the placement of the books on the "living room" table & on the shelves and the linear seating in the "dining room", I'm getting a workspace vibe, a business location. Or, perhaps it could be a  setting for an assisted living home or a counselor's office.

I think it flows. It looks like an apartment in NYC where Real Estate is expensive, so space is limited.  I am not a fan of tapestry, so that would have to go. It gives the room a heavy gloomy look. Without it the room would look pretty. 

 

I don't mind the curtains in the dining area they are probably the kind you can push up or down. I have them, and they are really great. You need the privacy especially if you are in a city apartment. The top lets the light in.
