Bedroom wall decoration ideas

Posted: Sun, Sep 06 2009, 11:53 pm Post subject: bedroom wall decoration ideas

Any recommendations for bedroom wall decorations? Unfortunately bedroom is the only room with lots of space on the walls... I guess we can put up a wedding pic, but what else? We can't really do anything too Jewish or holy. There's one or two impressionist non jewish paintings of boats of whatever that we wouldn't mind... but what else??? There's just so much empty wall! And we're renting, so wallpaper isn't exactly an option... Thanks.

candle holders, dif kind of hats... just anything check in marshalls

I got pictures of flowers to hang up. My parents used to have baby pictures of all of us hanging in their bedroom.

Wall sconces, light wall sconces, framed oil paintings, wrought iron wall decor, clocks...

In your room or for kids? For kids I got "stickers" at the dollar store...they peel off without ruining paint. I didn't see any particularly more "mature" stuff (I mean florals or motifs), but it's working so far.

You can buy blank stretched canvas on a frame at a craft or art store, like Michael's, and paint it yourself. Do something exaggerated like an oversized flower or a motif from your furniture or bedspread... or just do something modern with the color scheme of your room. It doesn't matter if it isn't perfect. It will come out great and it's cheap and you'll have a story to tell about it!

I hung up a huge collage of pictures in random order.. and it looks really good. I also bought an amazing quilt and hung it behind my bed it looks like a headboard and it doubles as a focal point in the room.

BennysMommy, that's really cute for a kids room! Can I ask you where you picked up the canvases, and what the price range is?

OP, another idea is to frame a beautiful piece of fabric. I've seen awesome pieces.

BennysMommy -- that is beautiful!!!! Would sell for hundreds of dollars in any ritzy baby store, for sure!!!

Wow thanks for the compliments! It cost me somewhere between 10 and 15 dollars. Bought the canvas at a local art store.

It did take a while to complete bc I only did 1 color paint at a time (time to dry) and I kept forgetting about it...

this only works if you wear and own scarves, but if you do, it looks cool, and serves a purpose. Put 3 nails in your wall- a few feet apart from each other. and run a heavy string between them. drape your mitpachot over the string, and not only will you have a colorful wall, but you'll know what mitpachot you have.

I like these ideas too--so far we've decorated all the rooms except for ours. We just got new furniture in our room 2 weeks ago--so now I feel like decorating our bedroom is all we have left to do!

I've definitely read about peel and stick artsy stuff that you can stick on and peels right off. Check urbanoutfitters.com in their home section- I think I've seen it there and you can at least figure out what it's called and search for ones that you like.
