Unless you’re a storybook princess of some kind, there’s a good chance that your bed doesn’t fill all the vertical space in your bedroom. How do you decorate that blank wall above your bed? This article from The Huffington Post outlines ten clever ways.
Home decor is all about mixing things up and getting creative, but when it comes to the bedroom it’s pretty much a given that you will be decorating around some sort of bed. Unless you’re living the hammock life, which is pretty cool too. So once you’ve set up the bed in the most logical position, it’s highly likely that you’re going to be left with a large, empty wall space above the bed. Obviously you’ll want to add some art ASAP, but if you’re not sure what direction to head, here are 10 clever and unexpected ideas to help you complete your sanctuary in style.
If you’re a spatial pro, fill that entire wall with a collection of artwork that will bring your room to life. Or choose soft and neutral pieces to keep the bedroom feeling calm and restful.
Odd-shaped bedrooms can make it hard to hang artwork, and small spaces can limit your options even more. Instead of cramming more pieces into your space, bring color and interest onto the wall behind your bed with a pretty piece of wallpaper.
Keep things classic and simple with just one big piece of art. For something restful, try a monochromatic piece of art, or opt for a colorful thrift store update for a fun, personal look.
Texture is just as important in the bedroom as it is in the living room. Adding a sculptural piece of wall decor will give your space a fresh and playful feel. DIY a macrame piece or choose a couple of pieces to anchor to the entire wall.
The wall above your bed is another great option for a big, reflective piece. If you love a room with lots of light, a statement mirror will reflect any natural light and make your room feel bigger and more airy.
