Bedroom Art FAQ
What art is best for a bedroom?
Bedroom art should be calming and personal. Botanical prints, soft cosmic landscapes, and sacred geometry patterns create a restful atmosphere. Avoid intense or chaotic imagery: the bedroom is for unwinding, not stimulation.
What size art should I hang above my bed?
Aim for the print to fill 50 to 70 percent of the bed's width. For a queen bed (60 inches wide), a 36 to 42 inch print works well. For a king bed (76 inches wide), a 48 to 60 inch print. Hang the center 8 to 10 inches above the headboard.
Can I hang canvas prints in a bedroom?
Yes. Canvas is one of the best choices for a bedroom because the matte surface has no glare from bedside lamps, and the warm texture creates a cozy, restful feeling. Wood and framed prints are also excellent bedroom choices.
Should bedroom art match the bedding?
Not necessarily. Bedroom art should complement the room's palette, but it does not need to match exactly. Choose art with colors that harmonize with your bedding and walls. A piece that introduces one new accent color can tie the whole room together.
