Artwork Above The Headboard? Yes or No?

So within the meantime, y’all might help me reply this query that has been nagging me ever since I bought the mattress arrange two days in the past. And that query is about art work above the headboard. I typically love art work or one thing ornamental above a headboard. It doesn’t need to be a framed print. In our final bed room, I used a giant sunburst mirror above the mattress, and I completely beloved it.

However, in fact, that bed room was completely completely different from our present one. The headboard itself wasn’t actually a function, and it was a lot decrease, leaving extra wall area above it for the sunburst mirror. The bedding was additionally form of plain. As an alternative of constructing the headboard and bedding the function in that room, the wall was the function, and that allowed me to hold one thing ornamental above the headboard.

Our new bed room may be very completely different. On this room, the headboard and bedding (which I hope to get an image of in the present day) is the function. Not solely does it have ornamental cloth on it, however it’s a lot taller and arched. That makes it way more tough to place one thing above it, however I’d nonetheless wish to have one thing there…I believe.

Ever since I put the grasscloth wallpaper up, I had been envisioning a set of three prints above the headboard. I even shared this image with you a few months in the past with that concept.

However now that the mattress is in place, I’m having a tough time envisioning that. There’s solely 27.5 inches between the highest of the headboard and the crown molding, however I’ve this unwritten adorning rule that no art work may be hung increased than the window or door trim, in order that limits the accessible area much more. So I discovered a random image on-line (undoubtedly not the one which I’d use, however I wished to search out one thing with orange in it) and did a fast mockup to see how that will look. I don’t like it. After all, I might select one thing with smaller art work and extra mat in order that it doesn’t demand fairly a lot consideration, however even at that, I’m unsure how I really feel concerning the thought of three photos hanging side-by-side above the arched headboard.

After all, one small sq. image appears to be like ridiculous…

So if I do a framed, matted image, one thing rectangular with a panorama configuration appears to suit one of the best, however I’m unsure if I like this. That appears manner too excessive to hold a framed, matted image. It nearly appears comical to hold an image so excessive on the wall to me.

I simply don’t know, and I’m form of at a loss for concepts apart from that one. No matter I put there, I’d wish to be extra textural quite than a print that individuals really feel like they should get near as a way to see it because it received’t be potential to get shut. I’d like one thing textural, shapely, and possibly a group of one thing that may be hung across the arch of the headboard. So when you’ve got any concepts apart from a group of small sunburst mirrors, I’d love to listen to your concepts!

Within the meantime, I’m going to strive my hardest to get photos of the mattress all made up with the bedding and pillows whereas Matt is out of the bed room in the present day in order that I can present y’all the way it appears to be like tomorrow. I’m so excited that I’m on the house stretch with this bed room!!

UPDATE: I appeared by means of some choices at Wayfair and Amazon and did just a few mockups of some potential choices. They’re all mirrors as a substitute of art work. First up, I discovered this 12-inch mirror on Amazon (affiliate hyperlink), so I might buy three.

This mirror is from Wayfair (affiliate hyperlink) and it’s all one piece. It appears to be like prefer it’s asymmetrical, so I’m unsure if I might reside with that. However maybe I might make one thing myself utilizing this concept.

This set of 5 mirrors (affiliate hyperlink) is the proper measurement. And naturally, they’d be reflecting the room, so that they wouldn’t truly look this vivid.

And at last, this mirror from Wayfair (affiliate hyperlink) is simply too large for the accessible area, however I might simply make one thing like this myself.
