How to Style Wall Art Above Your Bed
The space above your bed is often the focal point of your bedroom, making it the perfect spot to showcase beautiful wall art. Whether your style is minimalist, eclectic, or somewhere in between, adding art above your bed can elevate your space and tie the room together. Here are some tips to help you style wall art above your bed like a pro.
1. Choose the Right Size
The size of your artwork is key to creating balance and harmony in your bedroom. Here are some general guidelines:
- Width: Your art should typically be around 60-80% of the width of your bed (including the headboard) to create a cohesive look.
- Height: If your ceilings are tall, you can opt for larger, vertical pieces. For standard or lower ceilings, horizontal or moderately sized pieces work best.
- Proportion: Ensure the art doesn’t overpower the bed or feel too small—it should complement the scale of your furniture.
2. Select a Style That Reflects Your Personality
The art above your bed should resonate with you and the vibe of your bedroom. Consider:
- Abstract Art: Adds a modern and sophisticated touch.
- Nature-Inspired Prints: Creates a calming and serene atmosphere.
- Minimalist Designs: Perfect for clean, understated decor.

- Single Statement Piece: A large, bold piece that anchors the room.
- Gallery Wall: Combine multiple smaller pieces in a cohesive arrangement. Use a mix of sizes, but ensure they align visually.
- Diptychs or Triptychs: A set of two or three coordinated pieces that span the width of the bed.
- Asymmetrical Display: For a casual and artistic feel, try an off-center arrangement.
5. Play with Colors and Themes
The colors in your wall art can tie together your bedding, curtains, and other decor elements. Consider:
- Monochrome Art: Matches neutral or minimal color schemes.
- Bold and Bright: Adds a pop of color and energy to the room.
- Thematic Choices: For example, coastal prints for a beachy vibe or floral designs for a romantic look.
6. Ensure Proper Placement
Hanging your art at the right height is essential for balance:
- Place the artwork around 6-12 inches above the headboard for most setups.
- If you don’t have a headboard, position the bottom edge of the art approximately 24-36 inches above the mattress
