How to Choose Artwork for Your Bedroom

Choosing the Artwork

1. 
   Choose artwork with cool colors. Two examples of cool colors are blue and green. Warm colors such as red, yellow and orange should be saved for rooms where you want a more inviting atmosphere, such as your living room.
2. 
   Make sure the artwork is simple. Pictures of flowers and other landscapes are good choices. Your bedroom should be calm and peaceful, and you're most likely going to look at this artwork while you're going to sleep.
3. 
   Consider your values. For example, some people would rather not have a gory piece of artwork in their room, and some would. What you choose is really dependent on what you think is best for your room. Artwork can be a very personal thing, so buy something that makes you feel peaceful and relaxed, and that you like.
4. 
   Consider the atmosphere, size and lighting in your room. For example, if your room is very dark, then you may or may not want artwork that is very dark colored in your room.
5. 
   Take note of the colors of certain things in your room, such as your bedspread and carpet. Once you take note of this, try and find artwork that contrasts with the colors of the things that are in your room.
6. 
   Decide which medium you prefer. When most people think of artwork, they think of pictures, posters and paintings. However, things like mini sculptures, and even curtains could be good artwork examples too.
