What to Hang Over the Bed

Michelle
by Michelle
One question I know a lot of people ask when they set out to decorate their bedrooms is:
What do I hang over the bed?
I have asked that question myself, several times over. And I have tried and failed a couple of times to get it right.
My first attempt. The balance is all wrong.
On my next attempt, I removed the two small mirrors. It was better but it wasn’t great. The wall hanging didn’t hold enough weight visually because the dark bed is visually heavy.
3rd time's a charm. I found this gorgeous mirror at Tuesday Morning
I love that the intricate pattern adds texture and interest. My eye is immediately drawn to it. And because it’s a mirror, it reflects light beautifully.

    My bed is in front of a window, and I've tried putting it to one side then hanging a mirror the same size next to it to try to balance it...finally put curtains across the whole thing...who has to know it's not a huge window? or even a window at all...maybe I just like curtains! But I do like your mirror, but I like it better when the decoration spans the bed width like your first attempt, although maybe clean lines would work better than circles for grouping. That mirror, though, I'd have it bouncing all over the house...I'd want it everywhere!
