Help me decorate this space spending minimal money

[minismama]

I have a huge wall that is completely empty going from the kitchen table to the end of the family room. I am going to have a large picture placed over the kitchen table but it still leaves like 14 feet of empty wall. I don't want to spend $400 on a console table to fill the space because we are only going to be in the house for 1 more year. I've attached a pic of the wall. Does this ikea lack console table look ok? (Link 1). I was thinking I can get that and finish a project I've been working on..with song lyrics.. Similar to the second link to lean on the table with maybe some other decorative items? And magazines in the holes?
Or should I do something completely different?

I don't think that type of art goes with the uber modern straight lines of the LACK table. I like them both, but not together, KWIM?

Yeah I was thinking the modern feel of the lack table would throw off my painting.

Love the table. For budget friendly decor you could do decorative candle sticks of different heights and candles and throw a succulent down and done! The art doesn't go with the table and I wouldn't put a tallish thing over a long console table.

Hm that sounds like a plan.  The table doesn't scream "hi I was only $60" does it?  I have a bunch of other blank walls I can hang the art.

What about a bench by your door, maybe with a basket for shoes/umbrellas/magazines/whatever, and then an arrangement of framed family photos and little mirrors across the wall?

I don't think it does lol! I like the clean lines and think it could totally work. Throw the art elsewhere
