The bedroom is a room where both soul and body rest; the environment is conducive to relaxation and detachment from absolutely all problems existing outside it. But creating such an atmosphere of relaxation and comfort is not so easy. Properly selected wall accessories, such as paintings for the bedroom, are one of the ways to create the right mood in the interior. These can be simple watercolors, oil paintings, tapestry paintings, photographs, and even pencil or charcoal sketches.

Choosing a painting for the bedroom according to Feng Shui

What images should be hung in the bedroom so that comfort and harmony reign in it? The ancient teaching of Feng Shui, which teaches us to correctly place and select furnishings in the house so that mutual understanding, love and prosperity will forever settle in it, also has its own opinion on what the paintings in the bedroom should be.

Where to hang the canvas?

How to choose a place for a painting? The most common and optimal place to place a painting in the bedroom is above the bed. Most often, pastel-colored canvases with a light plot are hung here. And if the material and color of the frame matches the head of the sleeping bed, then the interior will acquire integrity and completeness.

You can hang a lot of pictures - it will be relevant and stylish solution. Canvases may vary in style, size and theme. This way you will introduce polyphonic variety into the interior, which will distract attention from the bed. This move is suitable for both a classic-style bedroom and country-style decor. If you like the idea, we advise you to pay attention to modern ones, which, thanks to their functionality, endless variability of plots and durability, have become a real trend in recent years.

Varieties of paintings

Color and subject matter are important when selecting decorative design for walls. Based on these two parameters, paintings and posters are divided into the following categories:

• The painting-rhyme repeats and combines colors in the interior. The shade may be duplicated on the canvas sofa cushions, curtains, bedspreads, chair covers. With this choice, the image merges with the decor of the room into a single whole, making the interior complete and complete.

• An accent piece above your headboard will make your bed the most prominent piece of furniture in the room. The brighter its shade, the more significant the accent.
• A style painting will also help complement the interior. If the room is decorated in a country style, then the image of a spring village landscape will be an ideal stylish addition.
• The theme picture makes you think about a specific theme for decorating the room. Thus, an image of a lavender meadow, enclosed in a white frame, will hint at Provence, and a hot African safari will hint at the corresponding ethnic style.

• The mood canvas will create the mood in the room that you think should prevail. Most often these are endless meadows, lush green forests, evoking a feeling of freshness and coolness on the street after the rain.

When choosing a painting, pay great attention to its frame. Plastic and metal will absolutely not fit into classic interior bedrooms, but in a modern one they will look very organic.

What picture should hang above the bed?

In decorative paintings, the main importance is the color palette and storyline. The tone and theme are selected for each interior.

Picture-rhyme

It connects the colors that are dominant in the interior and completely rhymes with the style of the room. The picture echoes the colors of pillows, carpets, upholstered furniture or other interior elements. It blends in so much with the surrounding objects that it becomes almost invisible. So, if the room has red, green and black colors, then you can hang a canvas depicting red poppies on a snow-white background over the headboard.

Accent canvas

Such a picture can become the only bright spot in the interior or complement other interior details. She attracts attention. If you decide to purchase a painting by a contemporary artist, pay attention to the careful execution of the sketch or landscape and the quality of the frame. Also, the painting must fully comply with the interior design.

Picture-style

A painting or composition of canvases is selected taking into account the style of the entire interior design. If you have chosen modern design, then the city landscape is quite suitable for the bedroom, and impressionism or abstraction will look ridiculous. To match the African style, you can choose a picture depicting a safari or savannah. Great value has a frame: it must fully correspond to the chosen topic. So, a plastic or metal baguette is not suitable for classic style bedrooms.

Theme picture

The artistic canvas should set the entire style of the interior and directly participate in its creation. The theme becomes the main motive of the design. Thus, the artist’s work depicting a sailboat, frigate or yacht gives impetus to the creation of a unified marine interior.

Picture-mood

If you want the room to always be bright and warm, then you can buy a painting or poster of the rising sun. The artist’s work depicting a spring forest or a wet street after a summer rain will bring cool freshness to the bedroom. An artistic landscape of a winter forest will make the room colder, and a painting of two people holding hands will add a romantic accent. Floral and plant themes are considered universal for creating any interior design.

A painting or composition of several canvases should evoke only positive emotions in a person, promote peace, as well as complete peace. It is not necessary to purchase paintings on canvas.

Paintings are not the only decoration in the bedroom. Devout people prefer to place icons in this room. They are considered better protection from evil spirits and other evil spirits during sleep. If the icon is hung incorrectly, it may violate Orthodox traditions. All church canons must be observed very strictly.

Determine the so-called red corner in the room. This is where icons should be located, as well as burning lamps, candles, the Bible and other spiritual literature. Such a place is located opposite the entrance, so people entering the room can immediately venerate the holy images. An altar should be located in the east of the room so that the person who reads the prayer next to the icons looks in this direction.

The importance of mirrors in the bedroom

If you don’t believe in omens or don’t adhere to the rules of Feng Shui, then a mirror in the room will help you create your own unique interior. With the help of these items, the bedroom can be made lighter and more spacious, especially if it is very small and located on north side apartments or houses.

Visually, a mirror will expand and enlarge the room.

Mirrors will help create a romantic atmosphere in the bedroom of young people, as reflective surfaces will make the atmosphere in the room a little mysterious and enigmatic. But you shouldn’t get too carried away with them, as a person may feel confused, being reflected repeatedly. It’s not so nice to see yourself from different angles all the time. If you place a mirror sheet at the headboard, you will not see your reflection constantly, and this element can serve a decorative function.

Using photographs to decorate your bedroom

The Eastern teachings of Feng Shui do not recommend placing photos of family and friends in the bedroom, as this may carry negative energy. But if you don't adhere to such views, you can hang images with successful shots on the wall next to your bed. When you wake up, you will see the image of your beloved relatives and your mood will rise. An excellent option would be a small gallery of photographs of various sizes that will be placed above the headboard, on opposite wall or on bedside tables.

Artistic black and white photographs with a modern interpretation are especially popular.

An interesting technique is placing a large photograph on the wall of the room. You can group photos by theme and place them on the wall, collecting them in the shape of a heart, circle, oval, diamond or other geometric shape. A collage of various family photographs will always remind you of the most pleasant days of your life. When hanging pictures, keep in mind that central part the composition should be within the visibility range of human eyes.

Usually here a person rests, relaxes, retires and forgets for a while about business and bustle. Therefore, paintings placed above the bed should help recreate an atmosphere of calm and tranquility in the room. This should be manifested in the plot, and in the choice of colors, and even in the framing style. In addition, there are criteria that help harmoniously fit the picture into the interior.

So, sunsets and sunrises, quiet forest glades, snowy plains, trees, birds, etc. are good in this case. You should avoid scenes that depict predators, the violence of the elements and other moments that cause excitement, excitement, or anxiety in the soul.

If the bedroom already has the brightest element, then the picture should only complement it, repeating the shade, but not be more noticeable. Images that are similar in color to the bedspread look good - this creates a clear zoning of the sleeping area.

Compliance of the picture with the overall interior of the bedroom

And the plot, and the color, and the style of the picture frame should be combined with the general direction of the bedroom design. Thus, the classics are characterized by landscapes, variegated colors, and carved frames. Minimalism is completely opposite to it. He is more characterized by low-contrast combinations, abstract subjects, simple lines, and the absence of a frame. High-tech style also strives for simplicity, but it often welcomes contrasting combinations and metal frames without unnecessary details. Provence is characterized by the image of flowers. Eco style is wooden frames and natural scenes.

For the bedroom you need discreet paintings, made in pastel colors, which will evoke a feeling of peace and create a good mood. You can find out what paintings you can hang in the bedroom from this article.

Most people decorate their interiors with copies of works by talented artists, inexpensive abstractions, reproductions and posters, which are most often decorative items. Therefore, paintings on the bedroom wall are matched to the interior, and not vice versa.

A typical place where such products are located in a sleeping area is the wall at the head of the bed. The picture above it is one of the popular options for decorating a room.

Makes the bedroom not very cozy empty wall at the head. The interior is deprived of completeness and integrity by a feeling of some kind of emptiness, something missing.

To rid the headboard of this, you can place it here:

• One big picture.
• Make a “collage” of several compact ones.
• Hang modular paintings.

Tip: One small picture or two small ones at the head of the bed will look lonely and ridiculous. In this case, it is better not to hang anything at all.

The picture in the bedroom above the bed should be selected depending on its width; the larger it is, the larger the canvas. Its width, or several located along one line, should be at least half of this size of the bed, and the height then does not play a special role.

Which painting to choose

In posters and decorative items, the main importance is given to color and subject matter. The subjects of the works are most often universal: for example, floral or marine themes, and the color is chosen individually for each interior.

Selection of works for the bedroom by theme and color:

• Picture-rhyme. In the bedroom above the bed (see) it repeats and connects the colors that predominate in the interior. In this case, the wall canvas “rhymes” with the decor. This is the most common and quite successful technique. The element can repeat the color decorative pillows and bedspreads, armchairs and lampshades, carpets and curtains.

With this approach, the decor of the headboard turns out to be unobtrusive and calm. The picture blends so much with the surroundings that you don’t even notice it. In this case, the wall at the head does not look empty and “abandoned”, harmony reigns in the room, and the bedroom pleases with comfort.

The function of a connecting element is performed by a rhyme picture. It helps to tie together several colors that are available in the bedroom interior.

For example, if lilac, yellow and green colors, you can hang a picture with the image on yellow background lilac branches. By repeating the colors of the interior palette in the painting, harmony is given to the room.

The colors seem to be intertwined and perceived as a single whole:

• Accent painting. Above the bed, it can be as one accent or consist of several such items in the same color. But in any case, such an object above the bed will attract a lot of attention. The brighter the accent, the more noticeable it will be. Therefore, such a work should look decent.

Advice: When choosing a painting, you need to pay attention to the accuracy of execution, the beauty of color, the quality of the frame and the naturally desired content.

• Picture-style. In this case, paintings for the interior are selected taking into account the style of the room.
  The product not only “fits in”, but also creates the same style together with other interior items. For example, a painting with a city landscape fits well into a room in a modern urban style, and a wall for an African-style bedroom is decorated with a painting depicting a savannah.

The role of the frame or baguette is of great importance. This element should match the style prevailing in the interior.

A plastic frame or metal molding can bring disharmony to a classic bedroom, but they are appropriate in a modern interior (see).

• Theme picture. With such a plot, it not only sets and emphasizes the style, but also creates a theme for the interior. For example, if the canvas depicts the sea, a yacht, a whale, pebbles or other marine attribute, this helps to reveal a marine theme in the bedroom interior. The use of animal-themed decor allows the painting to have an image corresponding to the chosen direction, and thereby contribute to the development of the concept.
• Picture-mood. If you want to get a sunny bedroom, you can hang a canvas depicting the sun above the bed. To create a feeling of freshness and coolness, you need to choose a piece depicting a green forest or a city street after the rain. The winter landscape helps create even greater coolness. Intertwining hands and kissing on the canvas is for lovers of romance.

Tip: For any bedroom, a universal image in the painting is a floral theme.

Icon in the bedroom

A person has a special relationship with an icon in the bedroom. When it appears, the question is often asked, where to hang the icon in the bedroom? This is not a painting that can be hung anywhere.

Advice: Incorrect placement of the icon can violate the traditions of Orthodoxy, which are sacred. Prayer is a sacrament where strict canons must be observed. Therefore, it is very important to choose the right place to place the icon.

Before you properly hang icons in the bedroom, you need to determine the so-called red corner.

Typically stored here:

• Iconostasis.
• Lamps.
• Candles.
• Cross.
• Spiritual literature.

The red corner is located directly opposite the main entrance, which allows people who cross the threshold of the room not to wander around in search of icons, but to immediately bow to the images. According to custom, the altar should be on the eastern side, so that those reading the prayer near the icons look east.

Features of modular paintings

Their main difference from ordinary works is:

• In division into fragments of a whole image.
• There is no frame, which gives the product integrity.
• The effect of image mobility and depth depends on the distance at which the modular elements are placed.

• Paint with acrylic or oil paints.
• Print on canvas.
• Divide the finished image into fragments in any direction. The painting can be divided into four square parts, vertical or horizontal stripes or diagonally. It is not necessary that all elements have a regular square or rectangular element. Here you can use different geometric figures, which have edges protruding from each other, united only by a common pattern, while they are connected like puzzles.

Advice: There are a lot of options for creating works, the main thing is that such a solid creation can harmoniously fit into the style of the room.

• Modular paintings for the bedroom interior have no restrictions in composition and size; only the size of the wall where such a painting will be placed plays a role.

• A painting consisting of segments can be located on a separate part of the wall, for example above the bed, or completely occupy the entire wall - from floor to ceiling, while creating a unique atmosphere in the room.
• In interior design, everything depends on the personal tastes of the owner; he will suggest the theme of the painting and its color that is acceptable to him.
• Beautiful works can be connecting links in a contrasting interior, or they themselves can act as bright accents that set the mood for the entire room.
