Artwork Above The Headboard? Yes or No?

So within the meantime, y’all may also 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 should be a framed print. In our final bed room, I used a giant sunburst mirror above the mattress, and I completely cherished it.

However, in fact, that bed room was completely totally 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 sort of plain. As an alternative of creating 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 could be very totally different. On this room, the headboard and bedding (which I hope to get an image of immediately) is the function. Not solely does it have ornamental cloth on it, nevertheless 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 feel.

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 will be hung larger than the window or door trim, in order that limits the accessible area much more. So I discovered a random image on-line (positively not the one which I’d use, however I needed to seek out one thing with orange in it) and did a fast mockup to see how that may look. I don’t find it irresistible. 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 undecided how I really feel in regards to the concept of three photos hanging side-by-side above the arched headboard.

After all, one small sq. image seems ridiculous…

So if I do a framed, matted image, one thing rectangular with a panorama configuration appears to suit the most effective, however I’m undecided if I like this. That appears approach 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 sort of at a loss for concepts apart from that one. No matter I put there, I’d wish to be extra textural fairly than a print that individuals really feel like they should get near as a way to see it because it gained’t be attainable to get shut. I’d like one thing textural, shapely, and possibly a set of one thing that may be hung across the arch of the headboard. So when you have any concepts apart from a set of small sunburst mirrors, I’d love to listen to your concepts!

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

UPDATE: I regarded via some choices at Wayfair and Amazon and did a couple of mockups of some attainable choices. They’re all mirrors as an alternative 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 seems prefer it’s asymmetrical, so I’m undecided if I might stay with that. However maybe I might make one thing myself utilizing this concept.

This set of five mirrors (affiliate hyperlink) is the right dimension. And naturally, they might be reflecting the room, so that they wouldn’t really look this brilliant.

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