Redecorated the living room 3 weeks ago and still staring at this giant blank wall above the couch

I thought I had it all planned out. Painted the room a nice light gray, got new furniture, even rearranged the layout. But that wall above the couch is still bare and it's driving me nuts. My sister said to just throw up a big mirror but I already have one in the hallway. I'm broke after the paint and couch so I can't drop like $200 on a huge canvas. Any cheap ideas that don't look trashy? Has anyone else dealt with this hangup after a redo?

Lean into the blank space instead of fighting it. Hit up a thrift store or Facebook Marketplace for three cheap frames that are different sizes but have the same color (black or gold works with gray walls) and put some black and white family photos or even free printable art in them. Stack em in an asymmetrical cluster on the wall, it looks way more intentional than one big expensive piece and costs like $15 tops. I did this with some old frames I spray painted matte black and it tricked everyone into thinking I had taste lol.
