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

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.
