Naked Walls

As things at the house start coming together, and I have put away enough possessions that the floor is clearly visible, it is becoming painfully clear that our walls are terribly lonely. Sure, all of our painting has left them colorful and rather pretty, but what walls REALLY want is to be clothed in interesting pictures and shelves and art. As it stands currently... our walls are rather scantily clad.

How to remedy the problem of a naked wall is not something that I have much experience with, so I used my usual steps when confronting a problem I know nothing about:

1). Take nap
2). Google as question
3). Eat brownie
4). Google as photo search
5). Update faithful followers on status
6). Eat second brownie

So, after my googling and brownie consumption, here is what I have discovered; there is no tried and true "right way" to cloth a wall. There are all sorts of ideas out there, and each one has its own merits. For example:

Photo wall
Aligned

With shelves  

With color scheme 

Colorful patterns
Framed

Color scheme 

Large scale canvas 

Bold canvases
With stripes

With photo/print  

Split prints 

Decals


Bedroom wall 

Words

Birds

White space  

All of these choices would probably be perfectly adequate, if I could just choose one and try it. I keep wandering back and forth between ideas, but implementing them simultaneously seems like a bad idea. A couple things that I have seen have really stuck with me:
