The tall walls are perfect to hang paintings but all of them should be at the eye-level.
Curtains
The curtain design depends upon the design of the wall and windows. If the tall walls have windows, only at the bottom then you can use a full-length curtain that helps accentuate the walls. On the other hand, if the tall walls have two sets of windows, on the top and bottom, then use curtains that match the window length and not more than that. As far as the color scheme is concerned, you have freedom of choice and use your creative mind to choose the best match of colors.
Decorative ceilings
Besides the walls and other interior decoration items, take into consideration the ceilings also. You can get a nice texture done on the ceiling and make it stand out. There are ample textures to choose from, as in the wooden designs, concrete designs, and more.
