@Rory1707: Thanks mate! Cool pictures from Ticonderoga btw, some coworkers of mine were also there the same day, I hope to be able to go myself sometime soonish.
@DoctorShmullus: That's a good idea I hadn't considered, gonna have to do some research!
@BolianAdmiral: I do plan to play with other colors for the chairs and/or sofa, but the lilac on the walls certainly stays and is intentional, not only because it's it's the same color as on the other Appalachia rooms, but also because I think it's underused in Trek precisely due to gender stereotypes.
@BlueNeumann: Regarding the warmer colors to the walls or stuff like that, I feel like that's something more of a ship-wide design choice that maybe isn't down to the Captain; plus an important part of coming up with so many Trek interiors over the past several years was to keep each ship cohesive with itself, sometimes even more so than on the shows.
I also don't want to overdo it, this is still a work environment first and foremost; so just some personal items here and there like we saw on the Enterprise-D/E and Voyager. Perhaps their quarters would have a far more complex decor. As far as religion, I don't intend to add much hinting at that, again mostly just to keep it in line with Trek's more secular future; and to not fall into the cliche of Arab immediately meaning Muslim, which is far from true. I do really like the idea of the astrolabe and the pottery though, I'll look into adding that!
@Warp Propulsion Laboratory: That's a good idea; unfortunately the last ready room I did also has an Excelsior-Class ship model, so I wouldn't want to repeat myself there hahaha.
Started adding some of that decor, and decided now that I have the income to do so (and that I've seen that pretty much everyone else does it, it isn't as frowned upon as I once thought), I'd rather buy some assets as they're of a higher quality than I could do on the time I've got. For the longest of time I resisted this due to feeling like I have to make everything myself, but for decor like this which I'll probably only use once, I think it's a better approach. I might do so with plants as well, just to add some more variety to the ones I've already got.

I agree with keeping the lilac on that walls, as I feel it works there. But one of my main gripes with the TNG Ready Room was how literally the whole room was the same watermelon red color… it was just way too much of one color in that room, lol… but yeah, I like what you’re doing.
Looks great! And really, if the items are out there and are free/cheap for a one-off set, why not? And realistically, that's how TNG/TOS did it alot for some props and background items anyway. *shrugs*
Those ornaments you added are a great touch and add just the right amount of color. There's absolutely no shame in importing pre-made elements into your scene. Arch-viz people do it all the time, especially with vegetation.
Hadn't had time to work on this for a while... Today I've added some more decor and shuffled things around a bit. Added an astrolabe as @BlueNeumann suggested, and a tea cup from the USS Al-Batani as a reference of @Warp Propulsion Laboratory's idea, among other decorative pieces.
Even on props I bought (5 in total) I ended up modifying all the materials, so that the colors work well together and the room isn't so grey anymore; I think it ended up with a nice pallet. Other than maybe adding a pattern on the floor I think I'm done with this room; what are your thoughts? Am I missing something?

I included the aforementioned carpet pattern on the upper level, but that's it as far as changes, here's the finished room!

That's actually a nod to Picard's ready room on the Enterprise-E:
