Thoughts on art layout for living room walls

12 years ago
I've just had my living room/dining areas painted in Ben Moore's Whispering Spring, and I love it. Now I'm wondering about what to hang on the two available walls in the living room.
I would like to do a black and white photography series on the wall with the two chairs. I have some of my own as well as other photographers original work to hang, and would like to expand over time as I acquire photos, so I'm looking for the best way to start and add, and how much of the wall to make use of. The ceilings are only 7' 9". The wall length is 9'10".
On the opposite side, where the couch sits, I'm thinking of possibly one big piece (in color) but am open to other suggestions. The couch is 7'5" long, but I think no more then 5'9" of it would work to hang whatever I end up with.
The only thing I don't want to consider is another mirror, as you can see I have a very large mirror hanging over the wood cabinet on the remaining wall available in the living room. It expands the room, so I'm definately leaving it where it is.
Any and all thoughts gratefully appreciated! Let me know if you need more information! And thanks in advance!

P.S. My bench/coffee table is being painted, which is why there is nothing in front of the couch…Looking at my photos - between the missing bench and the absence of window dressing my room looks nude! BTW Replacement pillow covers are also in the works - tho' the orange bird will probably stay as is.
