Can I get a really long curtain rod and hang huge curtains here in this living room or do you guys have any other suggestions on how to make this area more private?(please do not suggest that the columns be removed)
Sure but consider a double rod with 2 sets of curtains so you don’t have to be looking at the backside of the curtains. I see a daybed, if this is your only guest room or noise is at all a concern, you could add doors a couple different ways. With still keeping the columns visible to the hall, you could back them with glass or drywall to make the door opening smaller. Glass French doors could be nice.

We did it in our sitting room, because a parent’s using the guest room. Works just fine–as long as the guest doesn’t mind visits from our cats.

You could. I don’t think it would be very attractive.
What about a folding shoji screen that can be put away when privacy isn’t needed or people come over?

Curtains could definitely work here. I’d mount the rod between the two columns. It will look more intentional and balanced than spanning the whole area. I’d also go with full-length panels that just kiss the floor. That helps the space feel taller and more elegant.
