What do you think of this picture to hang above my bed?

I am looking for a picture to hang above my bed. I got this great body lotion that had white cherry blossoms on a red background and it inspired me. I have been on a search to find something similar. But nothing I have come across has been perfect. I love this 3 piece canvas but I think it is too red. What do you think?

My bed:

What I picture in my mind is larger white cherry blossoms on a red background. Have you seen anything similar to this? Thanks in advance for any help!

I think the print is absolutely beautiful but I wonder if it will lose some of it's beauty on your dark wall color... I love the way it pops on the beige wall... just a thought.

LOVE the pic, but i agree with the previous poster - i think it will get 'lost' on your red wall - it would pop more on a light colored wall.

babyboy - good work! Chat Icon

I agree - I think it gets lost - can you paint the one wall behind the headboard a neutral color? that would be perfect

The shades of red have to be so close to each other for this to work. If the reds are, then it would be beautiful. But one could be more orange than the other and it would clash...

This is my suggestion too. Paint that wall a lighter color, as an accent wall, then this will really pop! Chat Icon

That set of prints is gorgeous and your room is beautiful, but I think there would not be enough contrast between the walls and the prints. Would you consider something monochrome, like an Ansel Adams?

Re: What do you think of this picture to hang above my bed?

Or, if you don't want to paint the entire wall, what if you either painted a rectangle of white behind the pictures, or got a white piece of plywood/board/something a bit larger than the pictures, mount that on the wall, and mount the pictures on the white backdrop?

I love your bedroom. I think the print is too dark for the wall. It is a really nice print, but I would look for something lighter

too much red. you need something that will soften the walls.

i would also center your bed btwn the windows. is there not enough room to move the bed to the right more?
