🛏️ What Size Art Above a Queen Bed Looks Best (Western Edition)

The space above a bed can make or break the balance of a bedroom. It’s a sacred space—part comfort, part design. And in western style, it’s about presence without noise.

Here’s how to choose the right size and the perfect western piece.

📐 Proportion Matters

A queen bed is about 60 inches wide. Your art should be roughly ⅔ that width—so around 36–45 inches across. Some layout options:

• One large horizontal print, like “Long Way Home” in 30x40 or 36x48
• A diptych: two matching 16x20s like “Cracked Earth” and “Spurs & Dust”
• A centered statement print, flanked by smaller ones—try “The Rider” as your anchor

Hang 8–12 inches above the headboard. Any closer and it looks cramped, any higher and it floats.

🛋️ Mood Before Color

Bedrooms call for calm—so go with soft palettes:

• “Soft Hold” has warm light and faded tones for a dreamy look
• “Deadpan West” brings balance in its minimalist composition
• “Canyon Light” mixes natural tones with gentle contrast

Don’t match your bedding—complement it.

✍️ Build a Room That Holds You

Above your bed isn’t just where you hang a picture. It’s where you put intention. Let the art be a kind of daily reminder: of calm, of strength, of space to return to.
