Can you show me your living room wall decor

I’m so sick of my blank slate of a wall

We have a split, so the living room spills into the dining room. The living room is more formal and is the first room you walk into when you come in and then the formal dining room. And we put an extension past the dining room which is our den area. The den has a bookshelf type thing on each side of the tv where I have pictures in frames and a few knickknacks

My living room wall is completely barren.
Dining room wall has a rectangle mirror so I don’t want to have another mirror in the living room (unless I get rid of the mirror in the dining room and do something else in there?? Agghh)

Obviously I have no clue what do do so please show me what you have!

I’m torn. I initially thought about hanging a newborn photo shoot pic of each of my three kids and then a christening pic of each of them and then some of the Family signs n stuff

Then I thought to get some flowery canvas thing but it’s a long wall and I think the wall would need more stuff...

Help

On one wall we have a painting from Ireland and the other walls we have photo collages of the children. Each child has a frame of 3 pics and then we have a set of group pics of them

We have a remodeled split, but I know what you mean about the giant LR wall. Mine is still empty. When we did our expansion, we raised the ceiling, so the wall is crazy high and it is so hard for me to commit to a giant piece of artwork.
Sometimes I like to browse real estate listings for splits to get ideas about how to rearrange or decorate the room. Good luck!

When we lived in a split we had a big, blown up, framed picture of the kids on one wall and across from it was a metal sculpture of a bridge.

You need a large piece of art.

We have the same wall but it's mirrored. At first I wanted to take it down but for now it's one less wall to think about, lol.

But if we DO take the mirror down, I want a gas fireplace with a mantle and a large mirror over that with a few pictures on the mantle.

Is your couch against that wall?

Yeah- we have windows on the front wall. The wall that runs from the living room through the dining room has no windows

Our living room literally has one wall that doesn’t end lol. My couch is against that long side wall of the house with an end table with lamps on each side.

Why can’t we post pics from cell phones
Agghh

Someone mentioned a large piece of wall art- I’ve been going back and forth with that (and all other ideas)- I feel like one piece of art might not be enough, you know what I mean? And if I put a sconce on either side of this painting or whatever, it would have to be substantial in size and then I’d ve afraid it would fall off the wall

Can I hire someone for this lol
My entire house is blank. I’m gonna have a meltdown doing the kids bedrooms, my bedroom, hallway stairs....

Re: Can you show me your living room wall decor

I dont know if these pics will post...but i also have a split but when we renovated our kitchen we took down the wall between the kitchen and dining and made it a larger kitchen. I then made my living room the dining room. so the long wall is now runs through the kitchen and dining. My living room is the lower level now.

I did a mirror in the center of the wall, with a console table to try and tie the two rooms together. I then did framed 11 X 12 black and whites on both sides.

I'm not home, so I have no picture, but I have a split with a formal living room that flows into the formal dining room. My couch is on the wall that flows into the dining room and I have a large framed mirror over the couch (I got it at Home Goods years ago).
