A tall wall does not need one enormous piece of art to feel complete. Framed prints, vintage mirrors, wreaths, built-in shelves, and architectural details can be arranged across multiple levels to draw the eye upward. From a paneled foyer to a vaulted living room, these spaces demonstrate several ways to decorate with height.
Foyer Wall with Two Story Decor
In the corner, a partly hidden monochrome staircase has black horizontal spindles. Flower baskets sit beneath vintage theater chairs at the bottom. The paneled gallery wall holds floral wreaths along with prints in frames.
Stone Fireplace Artwork
In the open-plan living room, a white couch and a blue couch have a graphic art print mounted between them. The exposed stone fireplace sits between windows on two levels, and the windows have white trim.
Stone Lamps and Tall Art in the Living Room
Stone lamps sit on a wood table in the foreground, with wicker baskets also placed in front. The living room is white and has tall ceilings. Large windows run along one wall, while a white wreath hangs above the fireplace mantel.
Teal and Yellow Living Room
Gray couches and yellow curtains set the colors in this room. A two-story fireplace made of stone anchors it, with teal cathedral-frame mirrors placed on its floating mantel. Matching teal lanterns sit at the hearth.
Beige Living Room with a Two-Story Feature Wall
The living room has a beige palette and a two-story feature wall marked by subtle horizontal lines. Two checked poufs sit on a faded oriental rug. An arched wood built-in shelf frames the brick fireplace.
Light Grey Living Room with a Stone Fireplace
A warm wood floor runs through the living room, with a stone fireplace nearby. In one corner, a tall tree stands in a black pot beside a black console table, which sits beneath a portrait group. A large ornate mirror with a gold filigree pattern leans against one of the multiple tall walls in light grey.
Symmetrical Windows and White Mantel
A white mantel rests on the brick fireplace. Two symmetrical paned windows with curved edges are framed by textured beige curtains.
A round mirror, multiple ornaments, and multiple candles sit on the mantel. A white armchair and a brown leather sofa are arranged around a wood coffee table, which sits on a large neutral rug.
Two-Story Exposed Brick Fireplace
The two-story fireplace is made of exposed brick and has a white mantel. Multiple vintage mirrors sit on the mantel beside a white built-in shelf, while a candelabra chandelier hangs above it. On the upper floor, a white staircase banister matches the white ceiling with exposed beams.

Multiple built-in shelves stand beside the two-story exposed brick wall that dominates the neutral living room. A fireplace and flat-screen television occupy the wall, with the television above the fireplace. Wood beams cross the vaulted ceiling, and a black fan hangs from it.
Curved Decor for a Two-Story Wall
In the two arched alcoves, natural gray artworks are held beside matching chests of drawers. Between them is the stone tile fireplace, topped by a large round mirror. The two-story living room has a vaulted ceiling with wood beams and a black modern light fixture hanging from it.
White Paneling in a Two-Story Dining Room
In one corner, a metal-framed bookcase with glass panels holds multiple plants and trinkets. The two-story dining room has white paneling, a wood dining table, and multiple gray chairs. Across the room, multiple cathedral-style windows have black trim, contrasting with the white interior.
Faux Olive Trees by the Fireplace
Above the cream sofa is a tiered round chandelier. The fireplace has multiple wicker baskets on it, and those baskets contain multiple faux olive trees.
A check-patterned armchair shares the white-painted corner with the sofa. On the back wall, a white side table carries a gold and white lamp below a mirror with a gold frame.
White and Black Vaulted Living Room with Wooden Accents
A TV is displayed on a white brick accent wall, with two sconce lights mounted beside it. Three ferns sit in three pots on the hearth, alongside multiple black metal lanterns. A wood mantel runs above the hearth, and dark wood beams are set on the tall wall.
Gray Ottoman in a Living Room with Faux Fur Accessories
The bright living room has a vaulted ceiling and a large fireplace finished in gray tile for wood burning. Two curved alcoves contain multiple wood shelves.
Under the large round brass light fixture is a gray fabric ottoman, while white and tan seating fills the room. A wood tray supports a large white vase containing multiple pink roses, and a faux fur runner lies beneath the tray.
Living Room with Taupe Walls and White Molding
Tall taupe walls surround the living room, which has chair rail molding painted white. Two white armchairs sit next to the white grand piano. A white coffee table is in front of the white sofa, and a white rug lies on the warm wood floor.
Two-story white fireplace
The brass chandelier lights the fireplace, which has a stained wood mantel. Multiple vaulted wood beams span the living room ceiling. Two beige accent chairs with wood details sit before the fireplace.
Multiple large arched windows in a two story living room beside a tall gallery wall of wall art
A brown tufted leather sofa holds multiple patterned cushions. A round white coffee table sits in the center of the room, with tall wall art to its left. The wall art forms a gallery wall.
White and Wood Living Room with Exposed Brick Mantel
The white corner sofa sits at the room’s center. An upcycled vintage coffee table shares that spot.
Festive Living Room with Stocking Fireplace
Several pillows, colored red and white, rest on the white sofa. Two white armchairs and the sofa are below the fir-garland chandelier. Multiple flowers fill a galvanized tin vase on the round wood coffee table, which sits in the room’s central spot.
