Art doesn't just belong in the living room. Paintings in the bedroom are super nice and can give a soft and dreamy look. For a bedroom I would choose one of the calmer paintings. It's great to bring nature inside with earthy colors and botanical elements.
Dark or light painting in the bedroom?
When we talk about furnishing a bedroom, the most important thing is always that you sleep well and wake up well-rested in the morning. There should preferably be peace in a bedroom. Too many distractions can stress the brain. Therefore, in a bedroom there must be both calm colors and a simple and harmonious interior design.
It is obvious to work with light and dark in the design of the bedroom. Precisely in this room, we have many different preferences for how much light we are comfortable with. Should it be dark and a bit cavernous when you go to bed, or are you the type who can't get enough light and wake up smiling with the sun? Both dark and light paintings look great in the bedroom. The dark paintings ground and give a heavier energy. If you hang a dark painting on a dark bedroom wall, you get less light in the bedroom, and for some, this can mean better sleep at night. If the painting is to stand out more in the room, you can hang a lighter painting on the dark wall, and if you have light walls, the painting can be darker, and the painting is thus what makes the bedroom darker.
If you choose a dark painting on a dark bedroom wall, you can advantageously work with lamps and lighting, so that you get the right atmosphere and the painting on the wall can still be seen.
In the bedroom, it can be super nice to place the painting above the headboard, in the same way you would hang a painting above the sofa. It brings the expression together and looks very harmonious. However, it is not the place in the bedroom where you get the most out of the painting.
If you hang the painting above the headboard, you should think about either having a headboard or pillows that move your head slightly away from the wall, or pay attention to hanging the painting a little higher, so that you do not hit the painting with your head when, for example, sits and reads in bed in the evening.
A painting in the bedroom does not have to be placed above the bed. Here in this photo it is placed on the side, so you can see one when you are lying in bed. You can also advantageously place the painting at the end of the bed, so that you go to bed to the painting and wake up to it in the morning.
Wall art in bedroom
Bedroom wall art doesn't have to be just paintings. In the bedroom, in addition to paintings, it will also be super nice with a wall painting. When the art is painted directly on walls, the expression becomes very light and airy. Especially in a small bedroom, a wall painting will be super nice.

The wall art in the bedroom can also be printed on metal plates as photo art , where I have both a warm botanical series with flowers and plants, "Rock Solid" which is a lighter and lighter series with stones and birds and two piquant series that are suitable for the bedroom "Bold" and "Earth".
