Context is key. Show the floor plan and how the "68 entry wall" correlates to the rest of the home.

I will add photos when I return there later this week. Thanks.

You could consider a very long (narrow in depth) console. Do something special to the wall. Paint, wallpaper, example:

When walls are that scale you need to be very careful about sizes of furnishings & the scale of wall decor

depends on what else you'll put ON the wall to balance the length of the console.

any photos of the space?

I'm not at that house until this weekend and will post some photos then. The ceilings are high at varying levels throughout the house, and the walls thick.

Here are some photo of the space. I’ve taped off 60 inches to represent a six console and around the mirror I’ve marked off a square 49.5 inches, which is the size of a piece of art I might ourchase. What do you think of the size of each? The space of the area beyond the entry is large, the walls thick, and the ceilings very high.

The dining room is to the left and beyond that the living room

Here is the artwork and a couple of consoles I'm considering : )

And lastly, two hallways that both my husband and I like, but I think a bench might be easier to trip over or run into as we round the corner from the hallway than would a console.

The art is 50 x 50
