I'll be honest: I'm a big fan of hanging art in my home, however, when it comes to the bedroom, I have been unsure about introducing pieces that will fit seamlessly into my space.
Things changed for me when I saw Kaley Cuoco's bedroom, which features a sculptural, abstract piece above the Big Bang Theory star's bed. A masterclass in textural layering, this bedroom utilizes varied materials to keep its neutral color palette visually intriguing. Needless to say, it's giving me some new bedroom art ideas.
While prints can be excellent wall art options, there is something delightfully eccentric about Kaley's layered driftwood, which brings the outside indoors, all while making the space feel more dynamic.

This easy-to-hang piece is an eye-catcher, yet subtle thanks to its natural materials.
Add some nature to your space with this elegant vine piece.
These hanging ceramic discs are chic yet playful, creating a harmonious environment with their natural, wood material.
One of the elements I love the most about this wall hanging is how complementary it is to the rest of the space. The room deals with warm neutrals, like brown, greige, and cream, and the wood fixture adds the perfect amount of natural color to the area.
Additionally, the wood material is the perfect textural focal point to hang above the bed. While there are other textural parts of the room, such as the fluted dresser, fur blanket, and crystal chandelier, the layering of the wood pieces creates a truly satisfying pattern on the wall.
With that being said, it doesn't clash with the wallpaper, which has an etching effect. Since most of the other pieces in this bedroom are either matte or shiny, the illustrative wall covering combined with the nature-inspired hanging provides the perfect amount of visual appeal.
While Kaley could have gone for a fully rustic, nature-inspired look based around this wall piece, I like that she incorporated some modern, luxe elements, like the crystal chandelier, navy leather bench at the foot of her bed, and gold and black bedside table lamps. These make the space feel elegant and chic, yet cozy and inviting when placed with the natural pieces.
I think natural wall hangings can be implemented in so many different ways, whether it's through a wood piece like Kaley's or via a crocheted tapestry for more of a '70s-inspired look. Regardless of your approach, this space has really given me some new ideas on how we can introduce art to the bedroom.
