Hang art in a bedroom where it can be best appreciated and enhance the space. Above the bed is a popular spot, serving as a focal point. Opposite the bed allows for direct view and relaxation. Over a dresser or on accent walls can add visual interest. Use art that coordinates with your decor and consider the height; eye level is generally ideal. Ensure the size of the art matches the wall – neither too large nor too small.
