Seems to me it would be easier if you found artwork you like then chose bedding that might 'go' with it. Are you paying more for the artwork or the bedding, and which will be a longer lasting purchase? Likely the artwork, at least in my world.

Otherwise if you love the bedding and are planning to buy 'disposable' wall decor there are many sites online with inexpensive 'art'. www.art.com is one such site.

That's a good point but we already have this bedding. We probably should have found an inspiration piece of art first and then worked around that but we didn't. So we're just looking for people's opinions. Thanks!

I would buy art that I love and not worry that it "matches" the bedding.

I would start looking for artwork where the frame is complimentary to your cherry mission furniture as to color and and style of your bed and maybe with one of your colors in the bed covering. Take it home, hold it up to the wall and look at it. If it doesn't work return it and try something else.
Probably the best thing is to just go looking and take home and see how it kooks.
I've had many things above our beds. Right now, above our king bed that sits below a high window, I have 4 watercolor prints... Another bed, i have a metal sculpture of trees.

If it were me, I'd do the rest of the room first, including rugs or a carpet, curtains, etc. After that, I'd hit the local art galleries and antique stores. A piece of art can always be reframed, so, unless the budget's at its limit, I wouldn't let a frame that clashes with the rest of the room bother me. Also, while I usually would agree with the idea that a long-lasting piece of inspiration art should be something you love (to meld what you, chispa, and luckygal have said), for a bedroom, I like the idea of art that "goes" with everything else - I like bedrooms to be restful and serene places. What that art would be in your case is hard to say: after all, it does have to be to your taste....with those colors, maybe botanical prints of mushrooms? Birds? How about seashells? Some kind of autumn scene? An abstract that's not jarring and over-energized, but with the bedspread's colors? I would think there are many possibilities. But like I suggested: finish the room first, then think about art.

The simplistic answer is to have the colors of the bedding in the artwork.

Are you sure you need anything at all?

IMHO, buying art is not to be rushed. And buying art to fill/match a space sometimes turns out badly.

Leave it empty. Keep your eye out.

To me, it has a southwest feel. Check out the link below for images of similar bedding and the artwork used in each room.
Something along these lines (theme-wise) would also work...

Here is a link that might be useful: Southwest decor

I personally feel that one should never buy art to match the bedding (or upholstery or drapes or ...). I completely agree with the statements above to wait until you find something that you love before hanging anything over your bed.

What color are your walls?

What is on the floor?

Do you have draperies?

Is there other art in the room? Other furniture?

World Market has pretty colorful wall art.

Annz - As a matter of fact, the bedding is called "serape stripe!" That link to southwest decor helps a bit - I see some rustic pieces and that's sort of what we are going for in a way - but really our style would be more eclectic than anything - a true mishmash of various styles!

We've been looking at various metal wall art pieces and have found a few that we like.

The walls will either be hopsack (SW) or the lighter brown on the same strip -latte - not sure I can commit to that darker brown (hopsack) in a north facing room. The carpet is wall-to-wall frieze (medium tone brown). Furniture is dark cherry, mission style. No drapes - bamboo roman shades (golden brown/pine color)

The adjoining master batch is terracotta, tan and brown. I think this color scheme (bedding, walls, etc.) will flow nicely.

We'll probably take our time looking around for wall decor but I'm glad to get input from various people who enjoy decorating! Thanks!

What if you had some photos that are meaningful to you enlarged in sepia tones, and framed them to hang there?

I think an empty mantle, for example, looks bad, and one should try to decorate with something, even as a placeholder.

But based on what you describe, I don't think your MBR will look undone if you don't find something right off ... so that takes the pressure off.
