Give your bedroom extra style with modern above bed décor. The space above your headboard is an ideal spot to decorate with items that express your personality. There are many refreshing ways to fill that space with décor that is inspiring and beautiful. The most popular type of décor to put above a bed is wall art, signs, letters, or mirrors.
Combine several pieces of artwork together to create a gallery wall or keep things simple with a single décor piece. You can also use a shelf to display multiple items at once. For another modern twist, use clear photo frames to give any picture or print mounted above your bed a sleek and contemporary style. Here are some above bed décor ideas that are perfect for the modern bedroom.
