    Choose a piece of fabric which co ordinates with your room and has a pattern you like, some fabrics are almost like pictures. Staple it to a large picture canvas or find a large, old picture frame and put it in.

    I had the same issue at one time. I got a large piece of fabric (I chose na ethnic pattern) and bought some canvas' of diferente sizes and shapes. I covered each canvas with the same fabric and leaving spaces between them, I hung them all on the same wall. The diferente shapes and sizes gave the Wall a great look and the good thing is you can change the positioning every once in a while.

    Cut a sheet of plywood into three rectangles that fit the wall and cover them with wall paper (pattern your choice) and frame it with some molding as small or grand as pleases you. If you don't want to buy plywood you can also use cardboard.

    take your time and find something you love! visit goodwill stores/garage sales/check out amazon or other not too expensive websites. Photos are always a good choice :)

    How about a large, interesting branch ? Remove any bark or loose bits, spray with a matte clear spray (or even a metallic color?), then wrap with remote-controlled, battery-operated fairy lights such as these: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G3CK8ME/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Helen I'm facing the same thing but I refuse to put a picture of any kind up because it is not centered on wall due to piano. I plan on looking for metal items to hang up randomly. I do want mirrors but nothing to large or it will look like that's the center point. I want the look of a collection overtime not all matchy matchy. I love shapes either way geometrical or free flowing. I hope this may help you. Or since you want a picture why not take photos yourself and have them blown up to fill up wall. You might be able to get one the size you want but you will probably have to look for a company on line. I don't think staple's goes very large but you could ask them. Even the center of a beautiful flower would be interesting. This makes it more personal. Then have it professionally framed so you can have forever. It would be an original and truly something you love and an original.
