My wife and I decorated our guest room, but a few people had mentioned the frame above the bed seems really high.
We hung it slightly higher so if you were to sit up in bed you wouldn't hit your head on it.
The frame is 7" from the ceiling and 20" from the top of the headboard (at center). When I sit up in bed it's about 4" above my head (and I'm pretty short).
It does look high. I just checked our master bedroom. We have 7 1/2' ceilings. With a picture frame that is 24" deep, it is 12" from the ceiling and 12" from the headboard. But our headboard is taller than yours. My vote: Lower it some.
Sometimes, you need to hang them higher...I have paintings
hung high over my tv unit in the family room. To me it looks good,
others may think it looks 'not right?" but, I had no choice;
if I had a choice like the OP does, I would hang them slightly lower.
Yes, I think it is too high and there is more space between bed and that frame. This frame is too beautiful, but you have to reduce the distance between the bed and frame.
I think it is in the right place, you said if you lower it, it will hurt in your head while sitting and that will look really bad. I think you don't need to lower that art.
Yes it should be lowered a little bit. The rule of thumb is a frame should be hung at eye level. For beds I like when they're hung in place of a backboard (but not too low).
