Need decorating help

ccassaday — Thu, 23 Jun 2016 22:50:12 GMT

I am in the process of coming up with ideas for my bedroom at the new house. I am going to be going with a Safari theme. I found this wall decor for above the bed. What I need help on would you put them side by side or something in the middle between them.

What are the dimensions of the pieces? How wide is the bed? You might be able to put a large mirror between them. If you have a mirror, even if it's not the ideal size, you could try that to get an idea of what it would look like. You might also put sconces on either side of these panels.

African mask (uglier the better) inbetween the pictures or an animal skin.

My living room is safari themed. I have African masks & animal skins hanging from my walls.

SIDEBAR: I am scared to death to hang anything over the bed. Afraid the pics will come crashing down on my head while I sleep.

Nice pictures!

I might put a wood carving of a tree between them, giving a bit of 'organic' to balance the squareness of the frames.

Let us know what you decide! I bet this room will be a knockout!

Some great ideas here. It will be a twin bed but maybe a couple years maybe a full size. I am going to go with a solid camel colored comforter. Some decorative animal print pillows. I found a lamp with a cheetah shade that is so pretty. I figured a solid comforter then accesories with Safari. The website touch of class has some beautiful stuff. Anyone ever ordered from them? Found a beautiful area rug that is Safari cheetah print themed. We will probably have hard floors throughout the house. Keep the ideas coming. I can't order anything because we have 8 months before we start to build and no place to store anything.

I don't think that would match in terms of mood, shape, or scale. I also think the three items would be too wide for the bed. You could use that on its own, though.

Lmao. I have a long time before making a final decision on anything. Hopefully I will find something. They might not even have those wall things by the time I am ready. I think they will look fine without anything. Was just trying to think if there was anything to make it look better.

This would have been my suggestions as well.

But does definitely depend on the size of the bed and the prints.

The plaques are 11 by 34 each. It will be a twin bed but may be a full later.

Forgot to ask what color of paint would you go with. I am thinking a camel colored solid comforter.
