Decorating your room with a painting, a mural, or a mirror: a complete guide

Decorating your bedroom is an art that combines aesthetics and functionality. Choosing a painting, a mural, or a mirror can transform the atmosphere, create a focal point, and adorn your walls. But for a harmonious result, it's essential to respect the proportions with the bed, the wall size, and the color palette. Discover our detailed advice for each situation.

Choose the size of the table according to your bed

Picture frames for a single bed (90-100 cm)

• Recommended size: 40x60 cm or 50x70 cm

• Position: centered above the headboard, 20-25 cm from the top of the bed

• Tip: Opt for a single painting or a diptych for a modern style

  
  

Tables for double or queen size beds (140-160 cm)

• Recommended size: 80x120 cm or 70x100 cm

• Position: centered, slightly wider than the headboard

• Hardie Studio tip: a composition of several small works creates a chic gallery effect

Paintings for king size bed (180-200 cm)

• Recommended size: 120x180 cm or a set of 3-4 paintings aligned

• Position: centered and proportional to the width of the bed

• Decorating tip: avoid paintings that are too small, as they look lost.

Using a mural as a headboard

Advantages of a mural

• Maximum customization: unique patterns, sizes, and textures

• Replaces the traditional headboard

• Gives character to the room

Proportion tips

• Width: equal to or slightly greater than the bed

• Height: 60-100 cm for a double bed, 80-120 cm for a king size bed

  
  

Decorating tip: horizontal murals make a room appear wider, while vertical ones accentuate the ceiling height.
