So you have a headboard (or at the very least, a mountain of pillows stacked against the wall), but what about the space above that? For some reason, the space above the bed is a tricky one to decorate. As the focal point of your bedroom, the negative space above your bed feels so personal; it’s the one place where you can let your personality shine through the most. Luckily, there are seemingly limitless ways to jazz up the empty space. 


From above-the-bed art to gridded gallery walls to statement-making tapestries, the options are a-plenty. Here are 60 to pull inspiration from.

1. Hang a map

Skip the frame entirely and hang up a vintage map of your favorite region. The bare-bones look works in a minimalist bedroom with lots of open space.

2. Try three different-sized frames

If uniformity isn’t your thing, you’ll love this decor option. Each of these frames are different sizes, but they’re placed in a way that ties the bed together just neatly enough. So if you can’t seem to choose from your favorite photo collection, try hanging all three up to achieve this effortless look.

3. Use wallpaper and nothing else

Yes, it’s actually possible to blend minimalist and maximalist designs togetherr at once. This Barcelona bedroom uses a sophisticated yet bold wallpaper pattern to decorate the negative space behind the bed. Let the wallpaper speak for itself by leaving the wall free of hanging decor.

4. Frame a retro piece of art

The retro, wheel painting in this San Francisco rental truly becomes the focal point of the room. This technique is highly effective if you want to make a statement effortlessly.

5. Go for stability with shelves

Propping your bed up against a set of shelves (like in this product shot via The Wonder Forest, who sells the super cute pineapple bedding) might be a little bit of a new move for you, but if you have the space, it’s an interesting way to bring in more storage as well as something to look at above your headboard. Fill with books, picture frames and decorative objects to keep it interesting (and dust regularly!).

6. Wallpaper a wall

Take a leaf out of designers’ Kate McIntyre and Brad Huntzinger book (via Lonny) and decorate your empty wall space with wallpaper. A paper with a more sparse oversized mural pattern is daring without being dizzying. For example, while this floral and fern print is definitely bold, it also uses a lot of negative space, making it feel a little less overwhelming.

7. Install a shelf

Skip the tufted headboard and instead decorate with a shelf laden with accent pieces you love. Nuevo Estilo proves that from books to old oil paintings to statement lamps, adding a floating shelf can do wonders for the room.

8. Art + sconces = beautiful utility

Modern white sconces pop against a black background in this beautiful bedroom by @aloralighting. Oversized black and white posters above the bed bring the whole look together.

9. Accent with abstract art

This huge abstract art print breathes life into this otherwise monochromatic bedroom by @duealberi, making it a great choice for decorating over a bed. Bright, colorful and open to interpretation, abstract art always makes a good choice for a bedroom.

10. Open up the room with a mirror

The room will feel bigger with a few mirrors strategically placed around it, and a minimalist circle shape looks wonderful hung over a bed frame. Designer Lauren Geremia (via Architectural Digest) shows what a difference the small move could make with this Scandinavian inspired space.

11. Drape a tapestry

There’s a tapestry for just about any #mood. And we love this crazy cool Ouija board tapestry that @niche_noire used for decorating over a bed. The black and white serves as the perfect complement to the dark gray bedding.

12. Layer a mirror on wallpaper

Think of the empty space above your bed as a canvas to splash your personality on. If you want a very artsy backsplash, try layering your wall with a bold wallpaper pattern and a vintage, oversized mirror.

13. Hang a celestial banner

Looking to add a boho vibe to your bedroom? Try stringing these fun moon and stars wall banners from Urban Outfitters. Use one for a simple look, or layer several for a bohemian look.

14. Add texture with a wall hanging

Give the room a ’70s feel with a vintage-inspired yarn hanging, like designer Sarah Sherman Samuel used in this room makeover. You can DIY one yourself if you’re handy with craft projects, or you can leave the weaving to an expert and buy one.

15. Make a gridded gallery wall

If you have lots of different prints you want to hang, why not try decorating above the bed? If you have a large, blank space to work with, you can create a collage with just about anything you want. Try mixing color with black and white, old photos with new, or abstract art with photographs. We’re definitely drawing inspo from this bedroom by @brass.bed.manor.

16. Or try a statement gallery wall

Or if you like a more busy aesthetic, transform your whole wall into a colorful, playful gallery like former Lonny Editor-in-Chief Michelle Adams did in her New York home.

17. Add a jungle of plants

If you’re not one to collect art prints, hang up giant tapestries, or clutter your shelves with knick-knacks, then maybe plants are the way to go for you. Copy Katie & Tyler Branch of Branch Abode by installing a floating shelf above your bed, and then filling it with a tangle of potted plants. So cozy and eye catching!

18. Invest in a statement lamp

A great, sculptural way to fill up that negative space is to get a statement wall lamp that brings a lot of drama to the room. You can get an interesting industrial one that’s larger in size and brings lines into the room, like designer Amber Lewis did in this space she shared on Instagram.

19. Opt for textural baskets

Colorful, artisan baskets have been en vogue for a bit now and they’re a great option for above the bed. The round shape pairs nicely juxtaposed with a streamline headboard like the one here shot by Tessa Neusstadt for Homepolish via Style Files, while the lightweight nature makes them less worrisome (in case you’re not too handy with hanging and something comes crashing down in your sleep).

21.  Hang artwork next to your window

Here’s the predicament: you have lots of natural light from windows in your room, but barely any space to feature your one-of-a-kind paintings. Think outside the box and pivot to the side above your bed for decorating. Hang two different-sized frames up next to the window to add interest and play on the window’s unique size, as well.

Shed some light on the subject

Don’t be afraid to mix a combo of elements above your bed to up your design game. I like that in this bedroom the sconces become a part of the art composition, rather than just placed on either side of the bed.

This look is a three-fer, but it really wows. A tight collage of abstract paintings pop on top of a bold wallpaper, which are both accentuated thanks to hanging pendants on either side of the bed.

51.  Use bed storage to your benefit

If space is at a premium in your bedroom, there’s no shame in using the wall above your bed as storage. A wide headboard or paneled shelving serves both function and fashion. Layering a statement piece of artwork next to your books and alarm clock makes for a maximalist aesthetic of sublime organized chaos.

52. Build a wall of shelves

Are you afraid to hang shelves/cupboards above your bed?

We recently chose a nursery, and noticed that almost all manufacturers recommend such options that something hangs over the child's bed, and sometimes these are quite voluminous cabinets.
For a long time I had bookshelves that my father installed on the wall. And then somehow in the winter they collapsed, crushing the music center. Maybe, of course, I collected a lot of books on them, but here's a fact for you. I can't think that even half of them would fall on a sleeping child ..
Shelves were Soviet, strong and hung not ravshan on the snot, but my father, who does everything in good conscience.
But I look at repairs, people are not driven by this, they hang them.

I don't feel comfortable either when something is above the bed. We, here it was in a single room, fenced off a room for a child, and mirrors were hung on the wall to visually increase the space. One night, a mirror fell on the sleeping daughter. Everything worked out, the mirror did not break, but it hurt and frightened me very much. so I will never hang anything in the sleeping area on the wall again. nine0006

I don't hang. As a child, in a dream, a heavy carpet fell on me, I woke up from the fact that I was suffocating, it was difficult to get out of sleep. And before that, shelves hung there ... As I imagined ... Well, what for. I am also always surprised at the manufacturers, and even more so at those who buy this.

So I'm not alone, but while we were choosing, the sellers looked at me like I was crazy that I didn't want to hang anything over the bed, my husband also chuckles, but approves.

OOO..You are not alone.
Once a shelf with books collapsed (attached by the father, to the conscience) on the desk. The roar was .... no one and nothing hurt, but since then nothing heavier than a picture hangs on the walls in my house))) There are no upper cabinets in the kitchen, etc. But 20 years have already passed ......

You are not alone at all, I am also against hanging something over a sleeping child, so I never even consider such options. In our old apartment, a rack fell one night (it was from floor to ceiling and was attached to the wall ...) no one was hurt, but there was noise !!
I don't understand how you can take risks for the sake of the harmony of the interior. ..

We don't hang people either.

As a child, shelves hung over the headboard, but the walls were very thin... Once, one fastening came off, but not from the wall, but at the very shelf... It was unpleasant when it became clear that it could have hit the head. nine0003 Now there is nothing above our heads and the child. Although, in the future, maybe, we will hang light shelves for soft toys

are not alone, once in my deep childhood the mirror in the corridor collapsed, I won’t hang anything over any sleeping place because I’m afraid, and it seems to me unpleasant to sleep if something is hanging over your head...

I thought that I was the only one with such thoughts, I was also going to start a top. So there are more of us

I will NEVER hang! There were 2 cases in my life. nine0003 1) Shelves that hung over the bed collapsed on my girlfriend, it was before my eyes, a terrible sight, if it crashed on a child like that - I don’t know what would happen.
2) Shelves hung above the children's changing table in a rented apartment, once foolishly we put an old hard drive on the top shelf and safely forgot about it. It fell off the shelf about a year later, and just when I was changing my son's clothes, next to his head, God ..., I got gray hair, it's good that it didn't hurt. For the youngest son, the diaper was moved away from these shelves. nine0006

Definitely not! And not only over the child's bed. In addition to the risk of falling, it is also terribly uncomfortable when something hangs over your head)))

I am against hanging anything!

I also saw in my parents' apartments (my and my husband's) how the bookshelves fell, as if they were very securely built into the concrete walls by dads. Fortunately, in all cases they fell on the floor / sofas without hitting people. But it all looked terrible, especially at the thought that it could fall on people like that. ;-((
And large carpets also fell (fortunately, not entirely and not on people, but again, it was impressive).
Sconces had to be hung over the children's beds, and pictures too, but only in the lightest frames without glass. But by no means shelves!!

Usually in children's rooms, what hangs above the bed is not attached to the wall. This design is shaped like a "bridge" and is screwed to the cabinets that are on the sides of the bed. So it can't fall off.
Here is an example of such a bridge: http://www.mebel-credit.ru/detskaya-mebel-adriatika/m-1975-most-nad-krovatyu-2-dveri-1-polka.htm

I will never hang it over my bed. I have a rich imagination, as I imagine that a shelf or a wardrobe can fall on a sleeping child (or adult), I feel bad. A long time ago, a carpet hung over my bed, 1 more time a picture, a canvas without a frame. once this picture fell, although it seemed to be hanging securely, well, because was just a canvas, then they got off with just a fright, since then I don’t even hang pictures above the bed. nine0006

I'm afraid too. I will never hang.

well, wow! I also doubted, they told me that I was suspicious. I definitely don’t need to hang

through the intersection screeds, between the cabinets, or on the 1st side if there is no cabinet, a support shield is placed.

I'm glad I'm not alone. I don’t like it either (it’s psychological, it seems to me, it “presses”) + according to Feng Shui, it seems to be bad. But the most priority is safety. They even abandoned the hanging shelf above the table, and it was not even planned above the bed - terribly ... nine0006

Precisely psychological pressure, rightly said. But modern designers love this business for some reason. And a lot of children's rooms are built according to this principle. They call it a "bridge" - it connects the cabinets / racks and then the whole composition looks better.
It seemed to me that it was even very normal in appearance, but from the point of view of psychology and functionality - I refused this when designing a nursery.
In her youth she slept at a party under a bookshelf full of books. At night, the local cat amused itself by jumping on apartment furniture and accidentally throwing off everything that was there. As a result, I woke up at night in confusion from the fact that all the books from the shelf fell on me ... Well, my head was under the shelf and everything spilled out in the chest / stomach area. But there was little pleasant

we have a shelf above the bed. fastened to the wall and to the adjacent cabinets. kind of sturdy construction

Thank you for the information, reassured! And then I read a lot of horrors, got upset, because I definitely decided to buy one Italian nursery with shelves hanging over the beds.

We are also very confused about this topic. Therefore, now the problem is to make a nursery in a small area and so that it fits as much as possible.

I have already read above about modern methods of "hanging" shelves, but I can also tell a horror story. nine0003 In the 90s, Soviet bookshelves hung over my mother’s bed, once it was NIGHT that they both collapsed, they didn’t hit by a miracle, no one even thought when they hung up that they might fall ... They stood on top of each other just before (before as they hung on the wall), there was no load on the sag, it might have dried up, maybe it just ended unexpectedly. But there was a lot of roar and fear, as I remember right now.
If now they make TYPE reliably, maybe it's worth a try, but even then ...

Won in the top about Stylish kitchens, they discuss how cabinets are hung on carnations. And like this, some armless ones will hang over the child, but God forbid, it’s better to hang pictures of children or photographs. nine0006

Hanging cupboards. I also freak out terribly. But the husband says that there are 20-cm bolts screwed into the concrete wall, and everything is attached to the ceiling from above. But I still twitch

my kids have a bunk bed. It’s also scary when the elder starts to spin on top. and the shelves ... They also fell on me as a child. And also at night. I wonder if they did it on purpose?

Nothing hangs, because we do not need trouble.

When I was a child, a wall sconce fell on my head, also at night. Terribly, he had such a heavy and sharp edges, got off with scratches. nine0003 Then they bought me a floor lamp. And in my adult life, I don’t have wall-mounted lamps in my house.
But there were shelves, they didn't fall down

I'm afraid and don't hang them up.

I will never hang anything above my bed.

the only problem is that children will again enjoy all this beauty. and they will give a load and an overload)))))), who knows what will come to their mind, what kind of load they will put there, whether they will want to swing on it, hang on it, etc. ... any shelf will collapse from such stress, even the strongest))))

I don’t hang anything over the bed at all, neither over my own, nor over the nursery, although nothing has ever fallen on me, but I’m still afraid

I’ll never hang lockers there, I don’t understand, who buys this? maximum photos in frames, etc.

I do not hang, and I will not hang. And in general, this is not according to Feng Shui

We have such children's furniture, BUT the shelves besides the walls are also screwed to the cabinets on both sides. Heavy things are not stored on these shelves. And it is very comfortable to sleep there, in the absence of a child, I myself am happy to settle down with him.

I don't hang anything over the beds. And in my youth, a flower in a pot fell on me, which stood on a shelf above the sofa in the kitchen. Since then, I've been afraid of flowers on the walls.

It seems that something once hit everyone here ... And now no one hangs anything anywhere anymore. Why does everyone live in mansions, where there are so many storage places that children's fears calmly walk in their heads? A chandelier fell on me - moreover, when I passed under it. What now I do not groom under the chandeliers?? I hang shelves over the children's bed and sleep peacefully, because I myself controlled how they were attached. But everything is stored in their places, and not littered with rubbish

It's better not to take risks with children.... IMHO - it's better to hang these shelves above your bed, so at least you can hit me on the head and add more precautions

I didn't get hit. It fell nearby.
Enough storage space.
I wouldn’t call it a mansion))

Well, yes, if you choose - order in the house or a shelf on the head of a child, better, order, of course

as my good friend says: "everything that can break - will break, everything that can fall - will fall"

I didn't write this))

I wrote about the topic, not for you, I just answered in this thread

It's very nice, light and cozy with you.

I don’t hang them

When we hung these shelves above the bed, and on the sides of the bed we have cabinets on both sides, so my husband, also fearing that God forbid they might fall off, made through holes from the cabinet to the hanging shelf and bolted them on. It turned out like a "P". The shelf, in addition to being fixed to the wall itself, is also reinforced on both sides with cabinets. nine0006

Hanging for 2 years. See above how they strengthened it so that they would not fall.

No, I never will.
Not even because I'm afraid that it's unsafe (with current technologies, it's likely that it's really safe), but because of the psychological discomfort that you have "something" hanging over your head.
At a friend's place, some children were even afraid of hanging shelves at night.

As in the car on the lower shelf.

I'm afraid and therefore I will never hang. Rather, it does not even concern the shelves, but there are more lockers. I don’t even like such options morally

we were also looking for a bedroom with hanging shelves at the head. then, as she imagined that something would be hanging over her head, she refused, despite saving space with such furniture. IMHO, security is more expensive. it is better to take a children's corner with shelves above the table than something will put pressure on the sleeping person above the bed, and also threaten to crumble

thank you!

your remark is incomprehensible

And I want such a child for my girls http://www. mebelclub.ru/children/ferretti-ferretti/ferretti-ferretti-16/
And now I doubt it.
Although it is unlikely that the Italians would have created an unsafe structure for children. Girls, what do you think?

We have ordered feretti many times, it was exactly these options, there were no problems (pah, pah, pah), but the point here is not the Italians, but the walls on which everything will be attached, in the hands of the assemblers, that you plan to load into these designs. Here, it is just personal perception, the psychological aspect of such constructions that is being discussed. Everything happens in this life, someone had a negative experience, someone is just afraid, someone has an area that allows you to place all this on different walls. In Europe, they often put just such children, but I'm also afraid

I don't hang shelves above the bed, neither in my child's nor in our bedroom, because we live in a seismic zone
In a word, also confused)

and the sellers react this way - only those who have no children yet)) then they will also be perplexed)

Cool you posted everything.

Wall decor in the bedroom: how to decorate the wall above the bed and freshen up the interior of the bedroom

Simple solutions are the best. There is no need to start renovating the entire room if the same effect can be achieved by decorating just one wall above the bed. Checked: the custom design of the head of the bed radically transforms the interior. And you don’t even have to change the bed: for example, in the bedroom, the photo of which you see below, the tiled wall decor above the bed created a special atmosphere in the bedroom.

Why the wall behind the headboard and not some other? Firstly, this is the only surface that does not fall into the field of view of a falling asleep person. That is, even if in this case the wall decor in the bedroom will be “gouge out”, it will not prevent you from falling asleep peacefully and will not cause you to be dumbfounded in the morning when you wake up. And secondly, the design of the wall above the bed is subconsciously perceived as a continuation of the bed itself. And if your furniture is the simplest and most modest, and the budget is small, then the expressive design of the wall in the bedroom will divert attention from these, in fact, minor problems. How to decorate the wall above the bed in addition to beautiful wallpaper? We have found for you 15 possible ideas on how to decorate the wall in the bedroom. nine0006

Contour Interior Design, Inc.

1. Tiles
Yes, tile decor in the bedroom in our latitudes is very appropriate. However, before decorating the wall in the bedroom with ceramics, mount a film “warm floor” system (which, by the way, can be laid not only on horizontal surfaces). As for tiles, you will be surprised: various mixes of colorful decors are a fashion trend in design; manufacturers have been compiling such sets for a long time and selling them along with traditional collections of “one-colored” or panels. nine0006

2. Wood paneling
You have two options: to decorate the wall in the bedroom, you can use an artificially aged, antique and even salvage board (the one that used to be part of a barn or a boat pier somewhere in Indonesia). And you can choose the design of the accent wall with photo wallpapers with the appropriate print. The first option is noble and costly, the second is easy to implement and budget.

3. Soft textile panels
Almost the main solution to the problem of cold walls. If your bedroom is located in a corner room or the headboard is adjacent to an external wall, we strongly advise you to “insulate”. By the way, the panels on the walls in the bedroom can be mounted on a "sandwich" with soundproofing material and, thus, at the same time, at least partially solve the problem of street noise.

4. Installation instead of repainting
Tired of too active bedroom wall design? Do not rush to take up the roller! Bring down the tension of the shade with a light grafting of white. By the way, under such a decor, as in this bedroom (photo above), you can bring a powerful theoretical base. For example, they did one good deed in a day - they glued a new cube. This design of the walls of the bedroom will certainly be individual! nine0006

5. The best wall decor in the bedroom is its absence
The owners of apartments in the old housing stock are lucky: all that is required of them is to rid the walls in the bedroom of decor. In other words, knock down the plaster and clear the old brick. If the "native" color does not seem too cozy, cover the surface with white water-based paint.

6. Painting on the wall
Another way to decorate the bedroom wall and divert attention from the active (boring) surface. True, the poster, we assure you, will quickly begin to "an eyesore", but it is much easier to change it and hang a new plot. Much easier than going back and forth with the same wallpaper or decorating your bedroom walls with updated wood panelling.

7. Rhythm
A simple and effective solution is to create a contrasting layout of plaster or polyurethane molding on a section of the wall in the bedroom. The interior will immediately get a "classic" character, and the wall will turn into a full-fledged element of interior design. nine0006

8. Geometric Ornament
If you're looking for an easy-to-implement pattern for your bedroom wall design, chevron is the way to go. Fashionable, unobtrusive, easy-to-implement drawing: just carefully stick the strips of masking tape and choose the matching shades of paint.

9. Carpet over the bed
Born in the USSR, of course, they will say that hanging a carpet on the wall in the bedroom “smells like mothballs”. But in vain. It is difficult to reproach modern carpets for attractiveness. Yes, and touching them with your bare back, sitting in bed, is much more pleasant than the usual "cold" wallpaper. nine0006

10. Photo Panels
Another option to decorate the wall above the bed is with wall panels. This time with a photo print and unexpected placement (note they are mounted on a corner). This themed decor is a suitable solution for a teenager's room.

11. Wall mural
An interesting image is 99% success. Alas, most photo panels will lose the lion's share of their attractiveness as soon as you move the bed to them. Therefore, be sure to measure the height of the headboard before going to the store. Or make a wall decor in the bedroom to order by printing a panel of the geometry you need according to your own photo. nine0006

. But as soon as the hanging scheme is found, the question "what's inside" is no longer worth it. Let there be at least drawings of a child from kindergarten or any funny pictures.

13. Curtains
It is not necessary to hang the curtains behind the head only if the bed is moved close to the window. On the contrary, we advise you to hang a cornice just when there is no window next to the bed. Just for the sake of decor: change the curtains, change the mood.

14. Graffiti
If you don't have much luck with authentic brickwork and mimic the loft style with modern brick-look tiles, the space runs the risk of being too regular. It does not interfere with hooliganism - for example, to perform airbrushing in the style of Banksy.
