The bedroom is where we sleep, so we want to create a space where we can get a good night’s sleep.

If you are going to hang a wall art in your bedroom, it should be a peaceful or relaxing painting.

Decorate with clear colors.

When decorating a bedroom, choose a painting with a peaceful motif in a clear color palette to create a space where you can rest and relax.

Choose a painting that makes you feel at ease when you look at it.

Look carefully at the balance with the interior.

If the colors of furniture such as beds and bedding such as sheets and comforters are balanced with the colors of the wall arts to be displayed, the interior will look more cohesive.

If the interior of your bedroom is subdued in color, displaying artwork in bright colors such as blue or pink as an interior accent will give the room a sophisticated look.

What size art should I hang?

Choose a large painting if you want to hang it on a large wall, or a medium-sized painting if you want to hang it on a wall near furniture such as a table or shelf next to your bed.

If you imagine actually hanging a painting in your room, you will be able to see how well it balances with the interior.

Where should I hang a wall art in my bedroom?

Hang it on the wall near the bed.

If you want to hang an art in your bedroom, hanging it on the wall above your bedside table or on the bedside wall will give a good balance to the interior design.

The height at which you hang the art should match the height of your eyes when you are standing in the bedroom.

If you hang an art on the bedside wall, hang it on the wall above the bedhead or slightly to the right or left.
If hanging on the bedside wall, choose a location in the middle of the wall.

Hanging on the wall above furniture

When hanging on a wall above a piece of furniture, such as a clothes drawer or a shelf, choose a location that is balanced with the furniture.
For a medium-sized art, hang it on the wall slightly above the furniture for a balanced and uncluttered look.

Tips for creating a relaxing bedroom

Bedrooms can be designed with artwork, furniture, and other interior design elements to create a relaxing space for a good night’s sleep. We encourage you to try some of these ideas at home.

Here are some simple tips for creating a relaxing bedroom.

(1) Use calm colors in the interior.

A bedroom interior with a calm image will help you get a good night’s rest, without stimulating your eyes too much.

Using white, beige, brown, and gray colors for the entire room’s interior will create a calm-colored room.
When using distinct colors, choose them as colors for cushion covers, sundries, and not-so-large pieces of art rather than large pieces of furniture.

Blue is a relaxing color and may be used as a key color in interior design.

(2) Choose bedding with a good texture

Choose sheets, comforters, and pillows that are soft to the touch so you can rest peacefully and relax.
Linen bedding is also recommended to keep you cool in summer and warm in winter.

(3) Darken the room when you go to bed.

If light enters your eyes when you sleep, you will be bothered by the brightness and will not be in “sleep mode”. As much as possible, darken the place where you sleep.

If you have a light in your bedroom, choose one that is not too bright, such as a bedside lamp.

(4) Do not look at computer or smartphone screens before going to bed.

Looking at computer or smartphone screens before going to bed will cause your eyes to glaze over and make sleep more difficult.
It is better not to bring these things into the bedroom as much as possible to create a space where you can sleep well.

(5) Create a room where you can feel the sunlight in the morning.

It is best to keep the room dark when you go to bed, but in the morning it is best to have a room where you can wake up feeling the sunlight.
It will be easier to wake up when you feel the sunlight in the morning.

Try to create a room where you can feel the sunlight as much as possible by choosing the type of curtains and blinds, how to install them, and where to place your bed.
