Wow that is a BIG wall! A large fabric wall hanging? Like a tapestry or quilt?
Whatever you do go big. A large framed picture with others grouped around it?
Do you have a tv in the room? If so place it on a long low console.
But you really don’t need to fill the whole wall top to bottom.

The wall can handle something large. Some times you have to be creative in selecting objects to use.

The room doesn't appear to be conducive to watching TV or conversation. It looks like you have to take a bus to reach the coffee table. Come up with a better furnishings layout.

How tall is the ceiling in that room? It is a really large wall! I think that you have been given great advice already re: what to put on that wall.

Questions - what exposure do those windows have (E/W/N/S) + what is right outside of the windows? I am wondering what you are planning for window coverings.

Also, as pointed out above, the coffee table seems to be far away from the sofas/chairs - is that just a distortion due to the photo?

Making conversation areas is something I learned on Houzz - if you draw your room on graph paper (so that it's a scaled drawing) + add measurements (including doorway openings and windows), you'll receive some suggestions re: furniture placement.

I really like your sofas - it appears to be a large room. Will there be a tv in it?

Arranging your furniture so that it functions well will have a huge impact on the overall look of the room. Just a suggestion - if your happy with everything in the room (other than the large blank wall), feel free to ignore me!

I would fill some of that air space with a big chandelier or two.

Then do a gallery wall, or one large piece, that fills the space below the bottom of the upper window. No need to use anything on the upper half of the wall, specially if you go with the chandelier suggestion.

Large art and large collection.

I wouldn't concern yourself with what to put on the wall until after you've moved the sofas in considerably. Why are they hugging the walls?

Consider pulling sofa away from the wall 6-8 inches to cozy up the space. Large art over sofa and add a tower light on the side with a tall plant by the window. Consider getting a nesting coffee table or larger piece to better reach from both sofas. Looks like a nice comfy space!

If the fan isn't needed for function, let's replace it with a chandelier. If it is, you can get fans with extensions to drop it off of the ceiling (where it probably isn't doing much good anyway) and that can throw some overhead light. More on lighting below. Rearrange the furniture for conversation - pull it from the walls, as suggested. If you'd like help from us here, please provide a floor plan with some measurements. A lot easier to arrange on paper than on flooring. You may find that a credenza or side table fits that large wall, with perhaps a couple of side chairs, once the other pieces are placed. If possible, I'd like to see the couches - which appear to be twins - at right angles to one another, more centered in the room. Opposite one another is a formal symmetrical touch that seems out of place in what I expect is a more contemporary open floor plan, and the right angle will create a 'boundary' to whatever adjoins.

Options: shelving with decorative objects; media (only if that is the purpose of the room); art - a large triptych might be interesting. The wall is tall, but not wide enough for all three. Hang/size everything as if this were an 8 or 9' ceiling; ignore the height because the scale of everything else is human-sized, but scale it for the width of the wall, otherwise things will look cluttered. For art or shelving with decor, I would go with something modern or transitional, and if art unframed as shown in some of the suggestions here. But far more colorful; your room so far has no color or pattern. Make whatever is on this wall the focal point of the room. This will be the launch point for other art choices, for window treatments, and other accessories to fill the room.

Add some lighting on the wall - sconces - if possible; otherwise get some floor lamps. Lighting layers are going to be important in a room with cathedral ceilings.

The height of the ceiling asks for drama, so go for it.

I have a contact with an art gallery that makes beautiful paintings at a very affordable price. let me know if interested.

I have large walls too. Not quite as high but high and very long. Open floor plan. It has taken me awhile but I think I finally have what I really love. I did a gallery wall and just hung what I loved. Things that make me happy to see every day. I didn’t worry about keeping a theme. Good luck.

You have to do what YOU like and there are many options and styles - look at photos online and do what you like whether it be modern and ugly or nice and pretty, or be colorful and pretty or ugly and grey. Make all the frames of the pictures match, but NOT grey or black - use a color or gold or silver frames.

Get rid of the grey and black furniture and make the room/wall worth making nice. Paint the wall any color but grey.

@nyhomesweethome - looks like a grand and beautiful space.

Another option, instead of purchasing a large piece of art, is to use paint or vinyl to create color blocks. You could easily pull in the green of the moss/plant, the gray of the sofas and perhaos some magenta, or dark purple? Or even a pretty wallpaper would help fill the space. and a couple of picture rails across the wall with nicely curated photos/smaller art oieces would break up the visual.

Here are a couple of links:

The great thing about paint-it’s easy to change 😄

I had the same large wall dilemma, I didn't want paintings on that 15.5' w by 12' h wall. It took time to figure out what I was after and finally settled on these stamped steel drum lids. Fun, unexpected and they can be hung in any pattern to suit the room. I found these at Modern Studio in Laguna Beach, CA.

Hi Nyhomesweethome, WOW! That is a huge, dramatic wall! So many possibilities to enhance or soften the drama. First, that ceiling fan is just too high. I'd look for a new fan with a long downrod. You can bring it down as low as 8' above the floor, but I'd take it up further...so that the bottom of the fan, or the light kit if you choose a fan w/light, is 10' above the floor. At that height, it won't block the view from the kitchen, and it will draw your eyes up the wall.

The marble kitchen counter is gorgeous, but the couch sitting right up against it is competing for it's attention. Having a couch up so close to a kitchen counter is a recipe for disaster--or at least shenanigans. A simple repositioning of the furniture will go a long way towards making the area cozy, yet dramatic. If you pull the sofa on the wall out a few feet, and then move it to the left a few feet--enough so that you can walk between the couch and the wall comfortably, then move the couch that's up against the kitchen counter perpendicular to the other couch, you'll create a comfortable L-shaped seating and conversation area. Place the coffee table close enough to the sofas so that you can easily reach it--to put a cup of coffee on it. It is kind of small to be useful, though. I'd swap out the round table for a square coffee table. Maybe you could use all the round tables elsewhere in your home, or use the smaller ones as plant stands.

Put the side chairs on each side of the fireplace. The dark color wing chair with the round side table-- swap their positions. Put the wing chair at the same angle, with the back legs just beyond the corner of the fireplace hearth. Set the side table on the right side when sitting in the chair. Do the same with the other wing chair on the other side of the fireplace.

Now, for that wall...think about this first--cleaning and dusting... If you hang framed artwork up there, it's going to need regular dusting. Of course the top cornice moulding on the fireplace and the windowsills are going to need regular dusting too. I'd draw an imaginary line around the room that is even with the corner of the top moulding on the fireplace. I wouldn't hang anything above that line. Your eye will be drawn up above that point anyway, since the windows let in all that light.

That corner is begging for some kind of natural, earthy decor. Do you have a green thumb? A live tree that has some height to it will look great in the corner, it will draw the eye up and take the emphasis off the HVAC vent on the other end of the wall. Definitely paint the vent cover the same color as the wall in the meantime. That corner is the perfect spot for a Christmas tree, if you celebrate. Faux trees have come a long way in the past few years, if you have trouble with live plants.

As for the artwork, you can do a mix of canvases and textiles or metalwork pieces. I would not recommend anything that has glass in the frames, the light coming through the windows will just create glare. Don't put mirrors up either, it will just reflect your kitchen. Once you have that imaginary line from the fireplace moulding, try to imagine that moulding all the way around the room at that same level. If that's something you can live with--regular dusting and all--maybe you can extend it. In Victorian era homes with 10' or higher ceilings, they put "picture rail" mouldings a couple feet from the ceiling. They used this moulding to attach clips onto which they hung artwork. The art frames had wire attached to the frames and the wire hung from the clips on the molding. It protected the plaster & lathe walls from cracking if the homeowner tried to tap a nail into the wall to hang artwork. You can make the same use of the moulding if you install it around the rest of the room.

The artwork itself is YOURS to choose. This is something you will be looking at every day. Choose something that makes YOU feel good, something that makes YOU happy. Good luck, and let us know what you decide to do! :-)

Consider something different like colorful camel saddlebags (horj). These are mounted on plain wooden dowels and are about 4.5 feet in length minus the fringe.

They are heavy so they help with echos in large rooms and are unique as they are usually hand woven. They are available online (Etsy, eBay).

Don’t trust me - I am really new to this. Maybe you could move the sofa we can’t fully see to be opposite of the fireplace and move the sofa with the three pillows towards the coffee table? After that, add a few dark and golden paintings? Photos from My Italian Living and ArtPal.

I agree with those who say pull the furniture into a conversation area, big art, chandeliers, add some color. We have two huge, antique, french posters, framed and hung on our two-story walls. One is on the wall over the kitchen. You might need to address that space, too. However, the elephant in the room is the vent in the wall. OMG, who would do that? First ask your HVAC contractor to move it. If you can't, you might hide it by installing a built-in wall unit that is tall enough to come right up under the vent. The top shelf could even go all the way accross. Then you can put some beautiful pottery and faux greenery up there to disquise the vent. You could leave a large opening in the middle of the wall unit for large art if you are so inclined.

I would find a very large piece of artwork that you love to hang there. Don't think you have to fill the whole wall. If you have a large showstopper piece your eyes will be drawn to the artwork. Place it low at eye level. Too much art or stuff will make it look busy so I wouldn't go with a gallery wall. If you must fill the wall perhaps a wall mural painted by a local artist might work.

I need to see the whole space so post more pics here in comments also a to scale floor plan always helpful posted her ein jpeg format also in a comment DO NOT start another post I will say gallery walls are a huge misnomer no gallery hangs a bunvch of art all togetre on a wall . Each piece of art needs to be enjoyed alone Have yo checked out murals you can get custom ones but no idea which woth a much better look at the space

So I like the way my living room looks symmetrical despite the comments...I have moved the couches in a bit but I think original photo makes the table look further away then it actually is.

We don't have a TV and it is more of a formal living room as we have a family room where we spend most of our time.

I loved the idea of painting the vent cover so hoping to get that done soon.

And I have decided to hang up 3 of the mirrors (pictured) as I already had them in storage ( trying to save money too)

So now just trying to decide weather to center the 3 mirrors (24" wide each)

With the couch or with the wall?

I vote couch. Try placing mirrors centered vertically at YOUR eye level. Hopefully, that will put them +/- a foot away from top of couch. Marks on the wall are too high.

I kno I won't please everyone, but this is wht we did. 😀

Looks great!!

I love! It looks great.
