Looking for ways to accentuate the space behind the bed? Would love to experiment with something creative that helps add a dose of style and sophistication to your bedroom? These ideas can help

Short headboard + blank wall + iron canopy frame

A classic and fresh approach to arranging your sleeping area is to embrace a short, unassuming headboard and a plain white wall. Teamed with crisp white linen, they make for a casual and relaxing look. For a touch of interest and sophistication, consider an iron canopy with its dramatic black lines. Here, with the symmetry of the wall-mounted sconces, the lines look like a masterful drawing on a piece of white paper.

 Upholstered headboard + wood-paneled wall

Taking the previous example a step further, a more ornate upholstered headboard makes a more robust statement. And the spaces between the wood panels bring a bit more texture to the blank wall. Here, two chandeliers cut striking silhouettes against the serene backdrop.

Display niche

Here’s a great solution if you need more storage in your bedroom and you’re not sure about what you want to hang above your bed just yet. A niche provides storage and display space, where you can swap out decor items to add or take away color and texture. If you’re tired of the niche or fancy a different approach, you can always cover it up with a headboard or piece of art.

Patterned window treatment

If you’ve got a window above your bed, your options aren’t entirely limited. Coordinating a window shade and a pillowcase in a fun pattern can bring stronger design results than you might think.
