I personally have a pet hate about art above the bed - I just can't understand why everything intesting has to be on a single elevation.

Why not try hanging your art on another wall and pimp this aspect by styling the bed with 50 x 50 Euro pillows and buying some tall statement lamps? :-)

My home stylist. That was exactly what I thought euro pillows to give the bedhead more hight. You could even do a nice colour on that wall and add lighting from behind your bedhead to give the room a beautiful ambiance.

Wallpaper is a good option,?especially if you are spooked by the thought of framed art falling on you in the middle of the night !!

What is a good colour and pattern for wallpaper Stallard Interiors? Sounds like a big job! We've never wall papered. Is it easier to paint a feature wall instead?

I would recommend an artwork that brings positivity and peace to the bedroom - a place for relaxation! Something that relaxes your eyes ..Maybe a painting of the Buddha ?

in our culture Buddha is respected and should not be put in the bedroom..it's rude to expose Buddha to the activities of a master bedroom..whether in prints or statues..

John, trying to cater to everyone's sensibilities.

I'm not touching that one, lol.

What do you think of this canvas I've seen? It's slightly shorter than the bedhead width.

Cecblake, it looks like a Klimdt, is it? I say go for it.

Yes it's a Klimt :)

I recently bought the lamps online but I agree that they're too short and I'm not very happy with them now. Problem is hubby said "bad luck now, we're not changing the lamps" so I'm stuck with them for a few more years. I can learn to love them...

Some blocks of wood used as a plinth under the lamps will give them more height. Could paint red, gold, other, or leave as wood. Or cover in a fabric.

Or even better, a round "box" with drawer ( like this or this) so you can pop in small items like jewellry if forgotten to take off before going to bed. A small square box would work also.

Cecblake's Hubby, listen up. You're getting a nu de female picture in the bedroom. If you won't let her get the correct lamps, she's justified to put up a nu de male instead! A happy wife is a better love life!

I believe art in any room in your house adds soul and feeling. A bedroom will not be seen by everyone visiting your home, but its a very important personal space and why not enhance it with a work of art you love and makes you feel special each time you enter your private sanctuary.

Being both engineers, hubby and I are a bit on the nerdy side so he suggested we get a nice large print of something more "mathematical". Sounds crazy I know but I've found some wonderful designs on google images of Mandelbrot and fractal designs which I think would look fantastic. Examples below. Does anyone know where I could get these images printed in large size or where I could purchase one? I can't find any images online of good enough quality to be able to make a print myself.

Or maybe I could print say 3 designs and frame them?

be careful not to have anything too busy as it is a rest zone but it really is your choice, have you considered perhaps photographs of close ups of nature? I think it would work well . attached is an example - leaves or close up s of nature can have interesting repeating patterns= mathematical- I think three of something would look great!

Thanks for your comment Margaret River Gallery. What about something like this? Also there are some cool river images from google maps which look cool but aren't nice colours. Might be appropriate seeing I worked as a flood engineer! Although I don't really want to bring work into my bedroom. Lol.

Seems like a lot of the advice I'm getting is also focused on my undersized lamps. I've propped them up on trinket boxes but still can't get the height. I've just found these online which I think I might be able to justify buying as they're not too expensive (see previous comment about my hubby ). Do you think they'll look nice? They're 74cm tall. Thanks again :)

Lose the lamps. They look dated already. Install ceiling hung lights as Lynnie suggested to frame the bed. A large art piece between the lights would work well. Check out Janine Rea's art. http://www.janinerea.id.au/. She's a scientist. I have one of her paintings in my kitchen that I was drawn to as soon as I saw it and love seeing it day in day out.

you can get a tapestry and hang it on a rod above the bed - we got a William Morris design in soft gold with green and small touches of sky blue - its great and can be moved to another room later if you change your mind

In general, a good idea to post pictures, this will definitely give the interior a unique refinement.

We offer to see the work in this artist:

These lamps are too small. I'd get higher ones. Plus wall art above the bed.

What about getting a landscape of a place that has meaning to you both printed on a canvas for the space?

Im sorry troubleTribble, the first comment does trouble my tribble. Tasteful nudes in anyones house whether they're in the bedroom or anywhere else always look tacky.:) Even when they are the most professional photos and best looking people you've ever seen.

Saying that, Urban Road have some lovely art pieces designed especially for the bedroom. A nice piece of art over the bed head always balances the room out and something you both like will always put you subconsciously in a place of rest and joy. This particular one is designed through www.shaynnablaze.com.au and all come with different framing options and sizes.

Thanks Paul

Paul - totally disagree! Would much rather a stunning black and white nude. The suggested work is one that I would expect to see in a cheap motel. It is just a decor/ filler piece. Choose something beautiful that speaks to you.
