Of course, adding more description might be all you need, I don't know. Adding "space" may mean more than just adding description. Could be that you need breathing room. Maybe the dialog needs to meander to tell us more about your characters. Maybe you need more characters. Maybe you need a dog, or a plant, or an event for them to pay attention to and discuss. Sometimes pauses, quiet, significant stillness may help. Empty "space" can be just as powerful as adding in blah blah details. (I really dislike the word "space" because it tells me almost nothing. I hate it when it's used on HGTV to refer to what I like to call a room.)
