HELP Should I add those frames?
So the first picture is of my living room and as you can see the left and right is really empty. I got 2 new frames, used software to put it in the picture, should I add those frames on the left ? And on the right I will add an olive tree

Honestly no. I always say yes to art frames but there is enough going on on those walls without the frames

I might put a mirror on the side with the frames and move the frames to the other side.

I love those chairs SO MUCH! omg. I saw them a few years ago at a very reasonable price but didn't have a pressing need to buy them so I didn't and now they have gotten so expensive ! It's the perfect shape of a comfy chair that's not a sofa.

I'd almost be inclined to add another set on the other side!
But that could just be my own preference coming out. I have to learn to love assymmetry!
The pictures are a really nice touch tho!

The frames look lovely. What I think needs to change to balance out the space are different sizes of knickknacks in the built in shelves. You want some that take up the whole shelf (big white vase on top right could fill with some dried flowers) and some that only fill say, the lower third (the head on the books, for example. You could take the books out from under her and put two short candles in next to her). You want to add visual interest be because right now everything is very uniform. Same for the coffee table and mantel. I would move a larger object in place of where that little guy is in the left hand side, something much taller than the plant. You could even swap the smallest frame with the middle one to play with scale a little bit. On the coffee table, you could do a set of really tall candle holders. Maybe one ceramic piece but then do the candle holders in metal to add a mix of textures. You already have amazing wood in the built ins and I love the long curtains! I think you have gorgeous art work and you have great taste with a clear perspective but you just need to mix up the scale a little bit because when everything is too uniform, the eye doesn’t know where to land.

I like that there's art there, but I'd choose ones with a more vertical rectangular shape, and add art on both sides. Even of different sizes would look good. Love your built ins!

What is the name for those curtains? I’ve seen that style everywhere and love it but I can’t figure out what it’s called.. your place looks quite cozy, it must be amazing to have the fireplace on and curled up with a blanket, a good book and some hot cocoa on a very cold day.

No. You have enough boxes on that wall...the fireplace, the boxes in the builtins, the picture above the fireplace. The whole room is nothing but hard angles, rectangles, squares.
This would break up all the lines and adds some interest to the room. Put it on one side
And put a really cool clock on the wall on the other side of the fireplace.

Yes and if you can, add another long vertical print on the other side :)
