I definitely wouldn’t want a heavy mirror (or framed art for that matter) on top of my headboard, that would worry me to death and I don’t live where they have earthquakes. What about mirrors behind the nightstands instead?

25 year resident of SoCal. Would not think of hanging anything above the headboard regardless of how well it’s attached.

Mirror above headboard a definite no because of the shaking we get when the earth dances-but possibly above nightstands- just drawing a blank as to what style/ shape Might work??

Framed picture (or pictures) possibly above bed- trying to envision if I’d do a grouping or a sole landscape hung. Anyone have any pictures they’d suggest??

Thanks decoenthusiaste- something to consider!

Even if the paper comes down in a shaker, it won't hurt you!

lol. i've been through earthquakes for 60 years and haven't had anything fall on me. They make earthquake type of hangers for paintings and mirrors. if they're hung in the stud, and securely fastened, you'll be fine. (and if we get one that will make those fall out, you have a lot more to worry about than a mirror falling on your head!)

But on that note, I don't think a mirror is right over the bed. Your headboard is plenty. you don't need anything else.

if you want, you can stick some mirrors over the nightstands. Otherwise, I think the room looks very nice the way it is.

Thanks so much Beth For your input- I Truly appreciate your lovely mirror ideas here too!

I'm in the SF Bay Area. I have a batik wallhanging over my bed. The rod it hangs on is light enough that I'm willing to risk it falling in an earthquake.
