You may think that picking your bedroom wall decor is the final finishing touch. However, the design you select for your walls can set the tone and style for the entire room – from calming and minimalist to dramatic or fantastical.
Awaken your bedroom’s look with these great wall decor ideas and make it a heavenly space to sleep, read your favourite book or chat for hours with your loved ones.
Calming
Forestry scenes evoke a cool calm alpine freshness that can dissipate the staleness of a much used bedroom. Wallpaper or murals depicting a fresh landscape scene work equally well for the heights of summer or the depths of winter.
Artwork that is soothing in both palette and subject sets the scene for a restful slumber. For a cohesive look, use tones from the artwork to define the colour palette for the space. Think linen, soft furnishings, curtains and rugs.
This dandelion pappus mid spread is an artful representation of the fragility that nature embraces as a lovely way of survival. And who doesn’t want to gently drift away into dreamland?
As humans, our love for plants is well documented and celebrated. But the constant maintenance of keeping them alive can be all too much for most of us. Entwine with the beauty of greenery (minus the upkeep!) with foliage inspired wall design.
If you’re a fan of functionality meets aesthetics when it comes to master bedroom design, why not dual purpose some curtains to decorate your walls? A blackout or brownout pair make a strong statement and colour block that you can use as a backdrop.
Dramatic
Mirrors are not only timeless, they can be placed anywhere to make a room seem bigger and filled with character. As decor, this combination of function and beauty is anything but garden variety, so for dramatic feels go big like Gatsby!
Creating drama in your decor isn’t always about being bleak, nor is it simply black or white. A cacophony of colours make for stunning and eye-catching bedroom wall decor.

Minimalist

In the privacy of your bedroom, you can take it up a few notches with more risqué subjects like the beauty of the human form. This monochrome knockout lets you keep your bedroom entirely black and white or offers space for a neutral colour palette— however you prefer your minimalism!
