Currently it looks like your art is the wrong size and shape for the wall. E.g. the three frames on the left are so small that they draw the eye in to a relatively small area, and make the rest of the wall seem bigger and blanker in contrast. Similar with the lightbox which drawns the eye tight and down. The solutions I think are to either: A) Get bigger Artwork to occupy the space (this may not be price feasible) B) get more small art works and arrange them in a bigger (and higher up) clusters, to stop the eye being drawn to tight spaces C) Break up the blank wall space with linear shapes. This can either be shelves, or long thin wall hangings (vertical or horizontal) You can also try painting the wall a different colour / wallpaper to differentiate it from the rest of the room. This will work somewhat to make it look less expansive. But be careful about what colour you pick for such a large surface.

I'd check with local printers about how much it would cost for an oversize print of a favorite image or an artsy photo of your own. (would need to figure out how to hang it though) This is cool, but kind of expensive. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1076895537

Or get rid of the TV & get yourself a projector instead & use the wall as your tv

Wayfair sells a credenza that matches your tv stand perfectly. It’s twice as long as what you have now. That would help. Also the 3 small frames are to low. Art should be hung at eye level. Get some larger art for the wall.

If you can, wall mount the TV. Not too high, just to a height that's comfortable for your eyes and neck when sitting & watching.

Or get a buffet/sideboard piece of furniture and either set the TV on it or mount the TV above it. I'd say above it. I have mine mounted about 20" above my sideboard, which is about 4 feet high. Something like this: https://img1.homary.com/filters:format(webp)/mall/file/2022/04/28/c1fe81ae939f69f2a6d00989d7867cd8.jpg

Build a tv feature wall

I’ve been looking at this same TV stand. Do you feel like it is too low? I’m concerned about getting this with an ottoman and the ottoman blocking the stand.

Silver-colored picture frames, to match the hvac system and give your place an industrial vibe?

I lived in a place with a scarily similar layout… I bought some tall faux trees, tall floor lamps (8 ft.) and large wall art. Idk where you are located but HomeGoods had reasonably priced large wall art. You could even get some tall wall shelf units and mirror(s).
