Go Beyond Art Above Your Bed: 11 Stylish Ideas That Will Wow in Your Bedroom
Art — framed, sculptural or on canvas — makes a stylish statement to hang on the wall above your bed. Your bed is a natural focal point in your bedroom, so deciding what to do above it is an important task. Go beyond “art,” if you dare, with these eleven stylish ideas that will definitely wow in your bedroom.
1. A bold patterned vinyl sticker wall
Create a pattern easier than painting by using vinyl wall stickers. In the bedroom above, a gold polka dot pattern makes for one serious above-the-bed look.
2. A wooden shelf full of a collectibles
Interchange your art and collectibles all year long, creating an always-changing vignette above your bed. But maybe only if where you live isn’t prone to earthquakes.
3. A textured wall hanging or rug
With or without a headboard, a rug hanging above your bed is going to imbue the entire space with delicious texture, making your whole bedroom a cozy, snugly place.
4. Fiber art
It’s the same with a large rug or tapestry like mentioned above. Going with fiber art above your bed will add texture and coziness to your bedroom space.

7. Tassels and banners
It’s a simple element to add above the bed, but the act of bringing in tassels, banners and other “celebratory” items can really bring an element of everyday celebration to your bedroom.
8. A calendar
A big and bold calendar is a graphic element to add above your bed…and will help countdown the days of the year!
9. A paint treatment
Create a headboard where there was none before it when you use a little paint above your bed on the wall.
10. A small storage shadowbox
Like a ledge or a shelf, hanging a small storage box above your bed will give you the opportunity to play around with what you display throughout the year.
11. Favorite fashion
We’ve said it before and we’re saying it again: Don’t hide your fashion items if you love them! The wall above the bed is a great place to display some of your favorite fashion items.
