Needing help for a big blank wall

I have this big wall. Thinking of two chairs with a small table to use the space. Would love any wall ideas!

    For the best help, comment again here at this thread and add pix of the entire room - all walls. I don't think what you're planning is necessarily the solution here.

    I think chairs and a table will interfere with the walkway to the door. You shouldn’t have to walk around something, particularly if there is no real reason for it to be there. If you need something there besides some more substantial artwork, a slim console with narrow lamp would fit better, IMO.

    Would anyone actually ever sit there? I doubt it. Not enough room as previously pointed out and kinda an awkward place to sit and relax.

    How about moving the console and art from the small wall and replacing it with a side table and lamp next to the small sofa?

    I can't believe you have your seating arranged so that no one gets to see the obvious featured fireplace in the room. If you want to consider a flatscreen in the room, I'd consider this arrangement. I had to make some assumptions because your photos are not really complete but I think this arrangement would result in a spacious room, easy for conversation, for TV if desired & being able to see a roaring fire during the winter. Lovely home.

    Just a suggestion or two......put the art console by the sofa on the long empty wall, all a floor lamp where the console was and consider changing out your curtain rods to a one inch diameter, raising them to the ceiling and extending them 10-12 inches on either side of the windows and changing the panels to double width so you can see the cool design of the curtains....the waves are lost by tying them up!

    Also want to change the wall color! Love the blue dining room but I find this cream dated.

    Though colorful, the dining room blue walls look a bit oppressive and some paneling or trim could benefit the room. Then try to work the same color scheme into the living room.

    It looks like the empty wall now needs a long console with some artwork.

    How often does someone sit in the upholstered chairs at the dining table? Try them tucked in and angled either side of the fireplace. Tighten up your art grouping on that long wall so all the bottom frames are even and the pieces are one hand's breadth apart on every side. Move your metal/glass table under it and add a pair of stools underneath as shown above, as well as at least one lamp. You might need to scoot the vignette toward the outlet, and I would paint it and the lightswitch to match the wall color. Use the bench at the foot of your bed, and raise the curtains so they don't puddle on the floor. Center the love with the window and remove the big black elephant in the room. The coffee table should be 18" or less from the two sofas to be useful, so adjust the seating accordingly. The end tables seem a bit chunky and country to work with the coffee table, and the lamps are too slim for them. If they'll work with the metal and glass table, use them there and try a pair of floor lamps flanking the sofa. then everyone can put their drink, etc. on the coffee table. I'd go with a bare floor where the hooked rug is. It too seems very country and out of place with the rest of your things.

    Haven't read all the suggestions, but how about a bench behind the sofa if it isn't a recliner?
