What to hang in the bedroom above the bed?

It would seem a very simple question that does not require a lot of time to think. The first thing that comes to mind is a picture, wallpaper, a beautiful lamp. However, today designers offer hundreds of different options for decorating the head of the bed and the wall behind it.

The habit of decorating one's home appeared in a person a very long time ago. This brought additional coziness to the house, made the room stand out from the rest, allowed to show your own imagination. For this, all sorts of improvised materials were used, for example, beautiful, shiny copper plates located behind the headboard or original inscriptions and drawings right on the wall.

Modern fashion dictates its own conditions for the design of the bedroom interior and the use of decorative ornaments. They can be very different: from laconic and barely noticeable to luxurious and expensive.

• Frescoes. The old type of painting on damp plaster does not lose its relevance today. This type of decor will suit the interior, designed in the style of romanticism, modernism, classic, baroque. Biblical scenes, famous paintings and other ideas can be used as the plot of the picture.
• Gypsum. Stucco molding and plaster decor are usually used to decorate the ceiling. It can be an elegant socket for a chandelier or a beautiful border. Geometric themes (columns, vaults, arches over the headboard) can be chosen for wall decoration. Elegant frames, flower baskets and other motifs are also suitable.

• Lovers of laconic, simple designs will surely like stylish, graceful wall decoration using plastic or plaster molding. With its help, you can interestingly line the wall, highlight individual areas, beautifully decorate the surface around the perimeter.
• Decorating a wall with a picture is the easiest and fastest way to complement the interior in an original way. The picture can be of very different content. Someone prefers plant motifs (trees, a flower meadow, a bouquet of flowers, a birch grove or a pine forest). Someone likes seascapes (sea, sand, sun, beach). Someone does not want to part with childhood (heroes of cartoons and fairy-tale characters).

Other commonly used motifs include the starry sky, rainbows, birds, butterflies, animals, and cityscapes. Images can be made in a variety of techniques and using different materials (paints, crayons, pencils).

• An even simpler and more concise option is the inscription on the wall. This option is often used in minimalist interior design directions. A painted wall and a contrasting color of the inscription are enough for this. Most often, this is a famous quote in a native or foreign language, a line from a song or movie, a wise saying, a funny expression.

• Lovers of more beautiful and spectacular design options, of course, they will prefer luxurious full-wall murals to laconic inscriptions in order to draw attention to this wall and make it a bright accent of the entire interior. Usually, the rest of the walls are made in a monochromatic version of restrained colors. Among the most popular images on photo wallpapers are natural landscapes (mountains, waterfalls, forest thickets, exotic tropics), plants (trees, flowers, fruits), city landscapes (night cities, old streets), architectural monuments, starry sky, space, animals , abstraction,fantasy drawings.

• Connoisseurs of classic and traditional jewelry optionswho use wallpaper as a wall covering can decorate their bedroom no less interesting and modern. For this, a combination of wallpaper, most often monochromatic and variegated, is perfect. Another interesting option is to use wallpaper with one pattern, but a different background. Wallpaper can be pasted in vertical or horizontal stripes, in the form of an arch or a complex geometric shape.

• Smooth painted walls can be decorated with stencil pictures. For a small room, it is best to choose a fairly small, unobtrusive pattern (flowers, butterflies, leaves).

Among other, more original and unusual design options, one can note the use of a contrasting color of electrical tape to create a contour pattern on a plain wall, open books or magazine pages, knitted napkins or vinyl discs.

As a decoration, it is also used:

• Tile. This material is not often found in the interior of the bedroom. However, it may well be used as an elegant laconic decor. Ceramic, plastic, glass or mosaic tiles can be used as a headboard edging or as a whole panel on the wall behind the bed.

• Wooden paneling is a very interesting and original decor option. Wood is a natural natural material with a special, unique texture, delicate aroma and healing properties. For the decoration of the headboard, both valuable wood species and panels from more affordable types of wood can be used. The decor using artificially aged wood looks very unusual.

• Textile. This material gives many different wall design options. It can be a cozy canopy, and original curtains, and a colorful panel-blanket, sewn in patchwork technology, and soft panels. Textiles can be used not only for decoration, but also for wall insulation and for additional soundproofing of the room.

• Drywall is a very obedient and malleable material from which you can create the most complex and original designs for wall decoration. You can cut out figures of a person, animal, birds, flower arrangements, fantasy ornaments from it.

You can make and install a box over the bed of the original shape (semicircular, rectangular, square) from drywall with your own hands. You can create a more complex structure with arches, decorate them with canopies, curtains, and other decorative elements.
