The space above the bed can be tricky to fill. Whatever you put there has to be reflective of you and your personality, but it also has to compliment the rest of the room. To help give you some ideas of what you can put up there, here are 8 ways you can decorate above your bed.
1. Artwork
What better place to hang a favorite piece of art than above your bed. It’ll fill the empty space and adds personality to your bedroom.

6. Lighting
An empty wall above the bed is the perfect place to put a light fixture or two. They’ll brighten up the room and can add a sculptural element to it, as well.

8. Built-in shelving
Different from regular shelves in that these are built right into the wall, built-in shelving above the bed provides a space to store a few small things you like to keep near by at night.
