The most basic and traditional way to arrange wall sconces with a picture is to place a sconce at middle height on either side of a single framed picture. This arrangement is symmetrical and versatile. It fits just about any wall space. Accurate measurements are key in ensuring that wall sconces are placed evenly at the mid-point of the picture. If you have a wide wall, give the picture at least a few inches of space on each side so the whole arrangement doesn't look cramped and isolated on the wall.
This was taken from the web, just very basic info on placing sconces on each side of a picture. :)
Without a picture of the wall, it's hard to say but sounds like you're trying to cover too much space with too little. Sconces will not fill the void.
Try a potted tree on one side and a floor lamp on the other side of the framed picture. Plants are great space fillers.
Of course, why not!
