Hang them where they can be seen best. I think they are a bit large for that spot, though - anywhere else you could put them?

Can you take pictures of that entire wall?

I'm not a fan of the "collegiate" look leaning shelves add. I would remove those and center the two pictures where they are, 5' above the floor.

It seems too tight for wall art. I would not hang them there.

I would need to see the whole space
