Ideas for Bedroom Wall?

6 years ago

Does anyone have a suggestion for what to put on the wall left of the bed? I think the leaning mirror I have there now is too small. How about a round mirror? I have a 32 inch round mirror that I like, but I think it's too small for this space. If I considered another round mirror, I'm thinking it would need to be at least 36" diameter. I would really appreciate any specific suggestions. Thank you in advance.

    View of full wall

    What would the mirror reflect? Maybe leave it blank until you fine a nice BIG piece of art that you love.

    Gcubed, thank you for the suggestion, but I think it would be challenging to find art that wouldn't clash with the existing art. A mirror would reflect the beautiful view we have outdoors.

    I forgot I had this framed art piece. Would this work?

    Here's a panoramic of the other side of the room. It's dark outside so the shades are closed. The blinds on the door to the right of the windows are going to be changed to a a Roman shade.

    This is our master bedroom.

    A good idea - opposite wall, the empty one, with a simple canvas.

    I like that art on wall better than window. Do you sit in the chairs? You'll be staring at yourself if mirror is on the wall across. If you want a change, moving the 2 prints over your bed to behind the nightstand lamps would be nice. OR, move those 2 prints to the empty wall and get more vertical prints behind the lamps. I think the mirrored nightstands are enough "mirrors" in the space.

    you also might consider 3 dimensional style art for that wall, maybe consider wall sconces that have battery powered lights for some ambiance, something like this. the wall is large and so needs a large statement IMO

    I see. I would still keep the decor on the left wall minimal or blank, but if you wish to look at something when seated in the chairs next to your bed, the piece of art that you have, hang it on the horizontal on that left wall. Continue by placing the smaller pieces currently above your bed behind the table lamps, but the piece of sculptural art you will put in their place must be more imposing than that artwork on the left wall. They should NOT be competing with each other. Just be sure that when you come into the room, the sculptural work is what stands out.

    My two cents worth.

    Annouk33 and others, thank you for your input. I just had a very talented interior designer here today to look at my master bathroom for a remodeling estimate and asked her take a look at the bedroom. She likes the prints above the bed and suggested I keep the wall on the left of the bed bare just as you said, Annouk33. She pointed out that the three focal points when you walk in, in order, are the window area/view, the wall above the bed, and the wall across from the bed where I'll have my dresser and framed art above the dresser. So I guess I'll leave the wall bare!

    I wouldn’t want to roll out of bed and be confronted with a sleepy, crabby, tousled version of myself about 3’ in front of my face. Or DH either. 🤪

    mcpherson007, thank you very much. The colors look better in real life. I can't seem to take a good photo with this phone. Now if I just get my hubby to get rid of that darned smoker. 😖

    I’m just catching up on this thread and not sure if anyone else mentioned this so here goes..why not take that vertical leaning mirror that you already have and hang it horizontally on that same wall. Then it will reflect the beautiful view you have of the outdoors!

    I would not select any mirror. A large canvas would look great in the room.
