The art in these spaces doesn’t have to be the “star of the show’ and work as hard as art does over queen or king-size beds. Going undersize with your art - like a single 11 x 14 would work over a twin size bed especially if there is a decorative background like wallpaper or these twin beds are a part of bunk beds. Since twin-size beds are most likely located in kids’ bedrooms, it’s safe to say these spaces are likely more playful and imaginative. Twin beds are my favorite ones to “break the rules” going slightly oversized or undersized with my art. Which means you want your art to be between about 22” and 33” for a twin bed. Twin size headboards are tiny at only 42” wide. You want the art to be about 50 - 80% of the width of a headboard. When selecting the art for over your twin-size bed we’ll once again remember our design rules. This will add a little personalization while keeping balance.
