Decide how the bedroom should feel
Start with an atmosphere such as calm, warm, romantic, thoughtful or energetic. This makes the artwork selection more purposeful.
Artwork above the bed
The artwork should relate to the width and position of the bed. Previewing it in the room helps prevent it from appearing too small or too high.
Balance colour and pattern
When bedding or wallpaper already has strong patterns, a quieter artwork can create balance. Simpler rooms can often carry a more expressive painting.
