Vertical Paintings for the Bedroom

Portrait-format paintings, taller than they are wide, for narrow walls, the space between windows and beside a door. Horizontal formats sit naturally above a headboard: for a queen bed look for a print 40 to 45 in (100 to 115 cm) wide, for a king 51 to 57 in (130 to 145 cm). Here are 144 paintings for the bedroom, each taller than it is wide, with works by Camille Corot, Pieter de Hooch and Albert Bierstadt.

All 805 paintings for the bedroom

Two Sisters (On the Terrace), Pierre-Auguste Renoir 16 × 20 in portrait print (41 × 51 cm), centered 67¼ in from the floor, 8 in above the headboard. Drawn to scale on a 12 × 8 ft wall.
