Above Bed Decor for a Bedroom Retreat
Whether you have a king-size bed, queen or a guest bed to revamp, utilizing decor above your bed is a great way to set the tone for your open space.
Choosing the Right Piece of Art
When it comes to choosing the right bedroom wall art for your wall space, consider selecting something that resonates with personal preference. Whether it's a tranquil landscape painting, a calming abstract piece, or a photograph of a place that brings you peace, the art you choose should evoke a sense of serenity.
Take your time exploring different options until you find something that speaks to you and complements the overall aesthetic of your bedroom. In our farmhouse master bedroom I opted for large words that would make a big impact and create a cozy and fun space. But in our current master, I love this beautiful landscape design art print.
A few options may be:
- A cityscape you love
- A place where you vacationed
- Wedding or family photos
- A gallery wall like these ones
- Botanical prints
- Modern Art
With the perfect piece of art above your bed, you can create a strong focal point that sets the tone for the rest of the room. Next up, create an accent wall for further enhancement.
Creating an Accent Wall for Above Bed Decor
Another good idea for above bed decor is to create an accent wall. This is especially nice for a small bedroom because it won't take up additional space. To create an accent wall, consider using a bold color or textured wallpaper to add depth and visual interest. This feature wall can help create a focal point in the room and enhance the overall ambiance.
I love the picture frame molding wall treatment we installed on our bed wall. We took it all the way to ceiling height and it really elongates the space. This is an easy way to spruce up a white wall that needs a little something extra.
In my daughter's midcentury boho style room, I incorporated another wood design that was more modern and we painted the wall a beautiful green. I love this fun wood wall treatment for her room. It's a great option if you want a modern flair to your bedroom decor. Wainscoting and shiplap are also beautiful choices for a wall treatment.
By choosing a wall to highlight with a unique treatment, you can elevate the design of your bedroom and easily make it feel more inviting and cozy.
Selecting a Statement Piece
When selecting a statement piece for your bedroom retreat, choose favorite options of your personal style. This can be an oversized piece of artwork, statement mirrors, or a decorative wall tapestry. The piece should reflect you and take center stage in the room, adding visual interest and a personalized touch.
We added a full size wall mural in my other daughter's black and white bedroom. It makes for a very unique space but is key to the room theme.
By incorporating a standout piece above your bed, you can further elevate the design of your space and create a relaxing atmosphere that promotes tranquility and comfort. This bold element will tie the room together and set the tone for the rest of your décor. To balance the visual weight of the statement piece, focus on incorporating soft textiles throughout the room to create a cozy and inviting environment.
Incorporating Soft Textiles into Above Bed Decor
One way to enhance the cozy and inviting atmosphere of your bedroom retreat is by incorporating soft textiles. From plush throw blankets and fluffy pillows to luxurious bedding and thick rugs, soft textiles add warmth and comfort to the space.
Feel free to layer bedding for a cohesive look that ties in your bedding to decorative elements in the room. The stylish neutrals in my son's room pull in the overall design of his masculine space.
Consider layering different textures and materials to create dimension and visual interest, inviting you to unwind and relax in your private sanctuary. By incorporating these cozy elements, you can transform your bedroom into a soothing oasis that promotes rest and relaxation.
Exploring Relaxing Color Schemes
Focusing on soft textiles sets the stage for relaxing color schemes to further enhance the ambiance of your bedroom retreat. When choosing colors for your bedroom, consider soothing shades like soft blues, gentle greens, calming grays, and warm neutrals. These colors have been known to promote relaxation and create a peaceful atmosphere that is conducive to a good night's sleep.
However, this doesn't mean that you can't use bright colors. But rather, you have to incorporate a blend of both soft and bold colors to make the room feel relaxing. You can see how I used neutral and wood tones in her bed frame to balance the vibrancy of my daughter's bright floral wallpaper.
And here I also used wood tones and a neutral wall color to contrast the bright signs and themed decor in Little Buddy's space.
Experiment with different tones and combinations to find the perfect palette that resonates with your personal style and preferences. Incorporating these serene colors into your above-bed decor, such as artwork, accent walls, curtains, or even a statement headboard, can help tie the room together with your decor choices.
By selecting a color scheme that speaks to you and promotes a sense of calm, you can elevate the overall feel of your bedroom retreat and make it a truly relaxing space to escape to at the end of a long day.
Seasonal Above Bed Decor
While those are great suggestions for year round decor ideas, don't forget that you can use them finishing touches around the holidays. This is so important, especially when it can get a little chaotic.
I love my cozy Christmas bedroom decor. You can see it in more detail here.
And of course, adding Christmas signs above your bed creates a truly beautiful bedroom to relax in for the holidays.
Creative Ways to Use Above Bed Decor
Incorporating the right above bed decor can truly transform your bedroom into a tranquil sanctuary. From choosing the perfect piece of art to selecting soothing colors, each element plays a crucial role in creating a relaxing atmosphere. So, take the time to turn your blank space into something that not only looks beautiful but also feels like a calming haven after a long day.
Happy Decorating!
