Guide
The wall behind the bed is the most common place for picture frame molding in a bedroom. A set of frames gives the room a focal point, works as a headboard alternative and adds quiet texture without busy pattern. This page shows real bedroom installations, our bedroom kits with prices, and layout examples for 10, 12 and 14 ft bedroom walls with molding and stick counts.
Layouts for the bed wall
Center the layout on the bed rather than the wall when the bed is off-center. A common layout is three tall upper frames and three shorter lower frames divided by a chair rail, with the middle frame aligned to the headboard. The layout table on this page shows frame widths and total molding for typical bedroom wall widths with an 8 ft ceiling.
Frame sizes for queen and king beds
For a queen bed, a center frame about the width of the headboard keeps the wall balanced; for a king bed, a wider center frame or two frames behind the bed work well. Our queen and king bedroom kits are sized around these proportions.
Colors that work in bedrooms
Painting the molding and wall in the same calm color, such as sage, taupe, cream or deep blue, gives a soft, modern look. The photos on this page show the same kits finished in different colors.

Questions people ask
How do you center molding behind a bed?
Measure the bed position and make the middle frame line up with the headboard center, then lay out equal frames on each side. Mark the full layout on the wall with painter's tape before fixing any trim.
Does picture frame molding work in a small bedroom?
Yes. In a small bedroom, use fewer, larger frames and the slim 2.5 cm profile, and paint trim and wall the same color so the molding adds texture without making the room feel busy.
