    Get some paper and recreate the sizes of the art. Place them on the wall with painter's tape. Move them around till you get the look you want to achieve.

    I was wondering if it would be too busy to have all the pics, but maybe not?! And apparently different color/styles of frames work as well. Hmmmm

    Now I’m confused, looking online I tend to like the simpler look of one larger picture above a bed.... now what to do?! Anyone? Ideas?

    Thoughts?!

    I personally don't like anything on the wall above a bed. I just imagine it falling on me. I think you could use all 3 separately on other walls or above night stands. You really should have 2 night stands in a bedroom so each person has a place to put glasses and reading material. They don't have to match or be very large. Could you post more pictures that show every wall? Stand at the entry and take pictures of the opposite corners, then at the bed towards the entry. It would help to know more about the layout of the room than just pictures of blank walls. Is the door beside the bed a closet or the entry? What is on the wall that the bed faces?

    Want you to know that what you have so far looks great. The wall color and bedding are neutral and pleasing. Good pictures too. Love the color in the northern lights, a color that would be good to bring more into the room.

    That particular arrangement is less than ideal as it is set up from tallest to shortest, and the eye “sees” that first rather than the art. It’s adding an (unintended) element.

    Thank you Cheryl, the door is a close so there really is no room for a nightstand. The room is so small that putting all the pics on different walls seemed too busy? I thought this might give the impression of a large piece and look less cluttere? My DH agrees, he thinks they should all be in different walls. I will try and upload another picture with more of the room in it. There is a dresser with a big tv on the opposite wall from the bed.

    And thanks for the encouragement on the colors etc. :-)

    HB I wonder if I placed something above the two shorter pics to balance it out??

    You can try making arrangements of your art pieces (as you showed earlier) and it’s also possible to cut out pieces of paper othe same sizes as your art and tape to the wall to check the arrangement...one of the objectives is not to create an odd shape with the arrangement, and not to create spaces between the art that are more eye catching by their odd space/shape than the art itself.

    So my sweet DH “surprised“ me by hanging these today....he didn’t know I was online asking help. Geez.... guess that’s why they make sheet rock mud/paint, ugh. Now I get to hear him say, I told you so! (He didn’t like this layout either) lol
