The art you choose for your bedroom should match your tastes, walls and decor. This may sound complicated, but really, finding a piece of art should be fun. When searching for the right painting, explore a variety of subjects, styles and genres before settling on the appropriate art for your bedroom. - Still-life paintings feature subjects not alive. Although a still life may feature inanimate objects, traditional still-life subjects are flowers, fruit, vegetables and glasses filled with water or wine. For bedrooms, a still-life painting of flowers might be more appropriate than those featuring food or drink, for example. Still-life paintings are often realistically portrayed; although they don't always stand out in a room, they still manage to add a pleasant decorative touch. Still-life paintings, because of their conservative nature, usually look best in traditionally decorated bedrooms. While small still-life paintings may be displayed in multiple locations in the room, one large still life painting might be used over the bed.
- Landscape paintings may show any natural setting, from mountains to valleys, and oceans to prairies. This type of subject is traditional, usually best placed in conservatively decorated rooms. Because landscapes usually feature subjects in earth tones, this type of painting often appears in rooms decorated in colors such as browns, blues and greens.
- Abstract art is considered a non-traditional, less-conservative art form. Abstract art may be of any style, design, medium, colors or subject. By most definitions, abstract art ranges from representational to non representational---meaning, not representative of any subject at all. This type of art is usually considered sophisticated and less conservative, but because abstract art may present balance of form, color and design, abstract pieces may match the decor of a traditionally decorated bedroom.
- Portrait painting isn't as popular as it once was. With the invention of the camera, modern painted portraits have become rare. This makes a portrait painting a unique choice for your bedroom walls---one worth considering. Portraits of loved ones like children, parents or even pets can be a very personal and eye-catching addition to your bedroom decor.
