Bedroom Wall Art for the Wall Above the Bed
The wall above the bed is the second-most-asked-about wall in the house, after the 23-foot living room wall. The wall is the largest flat surface in the bedroom and the wall the eye lands on first thing in the morning. A flat print reads as a poster. A hand-painted impasto or palette knife piece reads as a focal point.
For a king or queen bed, a 60 by 90 cm horizontal piece, hung 15 to 25 cm above the headboard, is the right move. For a twin or full bed, a 40 by 60 cm piece is the right move. For a reading nook or accent wall, a square 50 by 50 cm piece is the right move. The pieces in this collection are sized for these three walls.
See the mosaic of minds colorful abstract for one of our most popular above-bed pieces, and the impasto guide for why a hand-painted piece is the right call in the bedroom.
