What Size Art Should Go Above My Bed?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions that I get. The good news is that there is no "right" answer but there are guidelines! However, above a bed there are many options. One of my go to sizes for a queen or king is a 40" x 20". It tends to always look good but you can go even a little wider for a king or taller if you have high ceilings. My only tip is that if you go with the narrow option, you should hang the art closer to the bed frame rather than trying to fill the open space above the bed. You don't want the art to look like it's floating too high and not cohesive with the rest of the space.
Below I compiled a few and reference the size art / bed so you can determine which look best suits you!
