Because Seforim and photos of gedolim are not appropriate for the bedroom, how does everyone decorate their bedrooms? My walls are very plain and not sure how to make it look nicer.

Giant wall stickers. They're not just for kids. There are some very attractive designs for grown ups if you browse ebay. Also, you can frame wedding pictures and pics of the kids. Another idea is one wall can be painted with a texture effect.

Big window all along one wall, closet all along another wall, bed and bed side tables and ac hanging on another wall. The last remaining wall we hung a picture our daughter made when she was younger and had asked us to put it up.
No room for anything else.

But id just put up nice artwork or a pretty wallpaper.

Is that all you decorate the rest of your house with? I hope not!

Dh and I love attending artists fairs and buying beautiful original artwork made by local artists. I also get some of my children's artwork framed and hang that up. As for our bedroom, it has a lovely print dh picked that was made by a local artist, plus lots of sweet notes and drawings made for us by my kids.

Mushy gushy wedding picture that I wouldn't hang in the living room, enlarged and printed on canvas.
We also don't have much wall space. One wall is all windows, one wall is a closet the entire width of the wall. The photo hangs on the wall above our beds.

Blank walls don't bother me in the least, and I've never felt a burning need to adorn them. However, DH used to be into photography in a big way. He had some of his favorite shots printed in 8X10 and framed them.

If you're embarrassed to hang such a picture in your living room, why weren't you embarrassed to pose that way?

Oh please. There’s a place for everything. Mushy couple photos belong in your bedroom.

How big is your bedroom?

These are my 4 walls:
1- closets
2- windows with giant curtains
3- dresser with cool decor pieces on top and bathroom door on side.
4- wall behind our beds. Painted black, sconces on the sides of our beds, nightstands on either side, big black and white artwork above our beds.

I'm not embarrassed, it's just not the place for it.
You don't have any pictures of you with your DH that you don't want the entire world to see?
There is a time and place for everything.
I love our mushy wedding photos.

Huh? What a strange sentiment. I just had a pregnancy photo shoot. Nothing too risqué as my children were part of the shoot, but I still consider the photos private. I plan to display them in my bedroom only. This was a very long awaited pregnancy and it is very special to all of us and I wanted to capture this special time. But I also don’t need to display these photos publicly.

OP, you can hang any art work or family photos as you would in any room of the house.
