Bookcases, perhaps, on either side?

HI -- The painting is wonderful but hung way to high . If you could find a much longer console table or a long floating shelf or a buffet . Book cases are an option too but if you don't have a need for them then don't put them in. Can you show us more views of the room.

Few questions, please. Is that a glass piece on table behind sofa that fronts door? And do you need access/walk space between sofa ans wall? Trying to get feel for entire room. More pics please.

Yes the glass in the front door and there's to be a walkway behind couch since the couch sits in the middle of the room.. Picture from the front door

Since you are purchasing new sofa, I would reverse arrangement so seating is facing front door and not patio. That opens entrance and makes it more welcoming. Still don't understand why you need walkway behind sofa. This is one case where I would place sofa closer to wall with sofa table behind it. You can walk through living room to access patio and other doorway. Now for the wall! I would turn it into a gallery wall. Hang your large painting to left of sofa, place (think it might be wood, not glass) round piece next to it on sofa table with small photo frame from corner wall above it.. Last, stack two long photo frames one on top of other beside round piece. Let me know if pushing sofa to wall is not an option and I'll come up with another arrangement. Wish I was more tech savvy so I could draw a diagram.

You have a very nice large room with high ceilings. I think this room needs large art pieces and larger and fewer decor to help balance your two future brown leather sofas. Move your small photo frames and small decor to the smaller rooms in your home.

Try hanging the large painting lower, with the centre 58 inches up from the floor. If you stand across the room, is the bottom of the painting visible above the sectional? Remove the painting by the window to add to this wall, is there another painting on the other side of the window? I would not have paintings on each side of the window, I think the large wall should be your feature art wall.

You could do a gallery wall similar to photo 1. See how the size of the floor lamp helps fill in the right side. Photos 2, 3, and 4, the paintings, decor and furniture are the right size and scale for the room. Photo 4, the large size of the plant and its pot is perfection for this room. Less is more.
