1. Decorate Above your Bed with: Art<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The possibilities here are truly endless. You can bring color and personal style into your bedroom by hanging art above your bed. Single, multiple, horizontal, and vertical alignments are all options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite source for art is\u00a0Collection Prints<\/a><\/em>. You can buy the downloadable image and print it yourself at a big box store, a local print shop, or buy the print matted and framed already. They have a great selection that changes seasonally, and is such an affordable option for both on trend and classic prints.\u00a0Check it out here.<\/a><\/em>\u00a0They are offering a 20% off sale on your first purchase right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t have the budget to spend money on art at the moment? No problem! Try your hand at DIY textured art <\/em><\/a>following an easy step by step tutorial, DIY Intaglio art<\/a><\/em>, or large scale art<\/a> <\/em>printed and shipped on a budget!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Shelf<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I think shelving can be a great option to not only to add eye catching decor, but also add functionality and storage. To decorate your shelves, you could keep the decor clean and simple, or mix in pops of color with candles or greenery. Shelves make it easy to add your personality to the space.<\/p>\n\n\n

3. Basket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m sure you have seen the \u201cbasket wall\u201d before, but have you ever thought of hanging one or a group of them above your bed? This is a great solution if you want to bring some texture or vintage flare into your space.<\/p>\n\n\n

4. Decorate Above your Bed with: Mirrors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mirrors are historically a great way to make a space feel larger. They are possibly the second best option behind a window to visually add square footage. They reflect light and will open up your room. Mirrors are a great idea, especially if you have a smaller bedroom with minimal natural light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
