3. Upholstered Headboard + Painted Wood Panel + Sculpture
For a more dramatic look, consider an upholstered headboard in an exaggerated shape against a paneled wood piece that’s painted a deep, moody color. By using vertical space, you can really bring a lot of dimension to a small bedroom. A small animal sculpture in a contrasting color will bring a bit of whimsy to tamp down the drama if needed.

5. 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.

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.
