If that’s you, then you might enjoy the ‘nothing above the headboard’ look.

And I know a lot of people live in earthquake prone places. Surprisingly enough, I do think about these things. This mirror is actually behind the headboard, so if it gets loose from the wall, the headboard will keep it from leaning forward and it should fall behind the bed and not on top of it. Yes you do need to make sure the mirror or other artwork doesn’t fall on you in the night. I used a very large French mirror above this bed, then added the platters since the bed was so much wider than the mirror. You just need to be sure it won’t get tangled up in a ceiling fan. The bed is an iron bed, so it didn’t need a headboard, but you can see how the doors gave the bed more presence.Īlthough this look is on the back porch, you could use mosquito netting indoors if you like the look. The doors could even be used as a headboard. I bought them new, and then simply painted them, then hung the antique mirror at the top. This is actually a set of louvered doors and not shutters. I have the window screen above a daybed, but you could use it above a regular bed. I converted it to hold the sweet little mason jars filled with flowers. Yes, this is actually outdoors, but you can see that I’ve used a window screen as art above my daybed. Also note the headboards are small and needed something else. Make sure the wall decor size works for the bed size. I think this is a great idea to display something special above a bed. I had these sweet baby dresses hung above each bed for years. This room is the same room featured with the coronas above. Were this a Queen bed, I would have used a larger mirror. I think it can work very well for a bed, but the mirror and sconces need to be sized appropriately for the bed. This is a very pared down, monochromatic look for a room.

I love this large plaque and thought it would be perfect in our room. They are sold out, but you can find other options that are similar. Now for the girls room, I’ve tried it again, but these were purchased from Restoration Hardware. I made a corona a long time ago for my guest room, but got tired of it and gave it away. You can go a lot of different directions, and I’m going to show you some places I’ve been. It’s a great way to add a very personal touch to your personal space. There are so many things you can put above your bed. I love today’s topic, 8 above bed decor ideas.
