What’s a bedroom without wall decor? Not far off a jail cell, that’s what it is.
Bedroom wall decor isn’t just vital for making the walls as beautiful as they can be, it’s a chance to make the space your own.
That’s why we went the extra mile to include something for every type of individual no matter how niche or vanilla your taste.
So if you need all the inspiration you can get, scroll through this 26-strong list of amazing wall decor ideas for the bedroom.
1. Mosaic wall tiles
Seeing the word ‘mosaic’ will be music to the ears of anyone wanting a burst of pattern from their wall decor.
Indeed, mosaic wall tiles are packed with visual goodness thanks to their intricate patterns and tones, and they even check the sustainability box as most designs are constructed out of reclaimed wood.
2. Wall planters
They purify the air and the sight of them puts the mind at ease, so why wouldn’t you want to sleep alongside a plant or two?
Let the plants bestow their health benefits upon you while the planter gets down to businesses shaking up your bedroom’s decor scheme.
3. Woven wall hangings
Materials which are soft to the touch immediately make you feel warm and comforted, and those are precisely the kind of feelings you want to have in a bedroom.
But don’t just hang up a bit of plain cloth and call it a day – there are plenty of artistic fabrics on the market that deserve pride of place at the head of your bed.
4. Barrel tops
Who knew that something as random as a barrel top could rise to the occasion as a winning piece of bedroom wall decor?
We will caveat that your barrel top needs to look aged for that extra oomph, but not to worry because you can buy them that way – some manufacturers even let you add a personalized message.
5. Antique brass bowls
Yes, even kitchenware can give dull and lifeless walls a decorative voice. Again, it’s deemed more tasteful when the pieces have undergone a process of antiquing.
Throw in a brass finish and the end result is a bowl collection that belongs to a bygone era and could easily rival some of the oldest artefacts in your local history museum.
6. Geometric tile art
You can always rely on geometric decor to make a statement, not least because the angular nature of them brings about a super contemporary feel.
If you can achieve this with just one geometric shape, imagine the energy shift in your bedroom when you multiply the fun?
An entire set of geometric wall art, all in the same shape to form an eye-catching pattern, will certainly give the rest of your bedroom wall decor a run for their money.
7. Abstract wall art
Artwork that’s hard to define or describe are absolute gold dust if you’re looking for a conversation-starter, as everyone will have their own interpretation.
The swapping of ideas and perspectives makes abstract wall art a very mature option and therefore incredibly well suited to a grownup’s bedroom.
8. Wicker baskets
Some might say baskets are too bland to work as wall decor. But that’s because they’re thinking of the baskets we store food in.
You can find baskets which are designed and destined to invigorate the decor scheme, especially when it’s the wicker variety and features pops of color and pattern – it doesn’t get more bohemian than that.
9. Rusted metal mirrors
Let’s be honest – it was always a question of when, not if, mirrors would make an appearance on this list, what with them offering both functional and aesthetic value in spades.
There’s an infinite amount of mirror designs to wade through, so we’ll start you off by suggesting a rusty wall mirror. Why? Because it’s edgy and daring which helps to set your bedroom apart from everybody else’s!
10. Hats
If it looks amazing as part of your outfit then there’s no reason why a hat can’t spruce up one of your bedroom walls.
Keep in mind it likely won’t succeed as a singular statement (unless it’s a really, really big hat) and so the more the merrier! And don’t forget to utilize different styles of hat in different colors to really give your display some legs.
11. Word decor
Never underestimate the influence that a few choice words can have on the psyche. In fact, sometimes a single word that holds a lot of personal meaning can lift our mood in a heartbeat.
So take your favorite word and display it as decor over the bed. It’s not strictly speaking wall decor, but you could also suspend words from the ceiling for a very different look – one that you can enjoy while lying in bed.
12. Framed vinyl records
If you’re a big lover of music, think twice before putting up posters of your favorite artists and bands, as that’s far too predictable and downright tacky.
Ideally, the music you love listening to was made between the 1950s and 80s because then you’d have reason to decorate with retro decor in the form of framed vinyl records.
13. Tribal necklaces
An ordinary pendant necklace may raise eyebrows if hung on the wall as decor, so keep it on your dressing table where it really belongs.
Tribal necklaces? Now we’re talking. The very fact that tribal jewelry isn’t part of the average person’s daily attire is what fuels the appeal of them while adding a cultural touch to the decor scheme.
14. Wall art
A real mainstay type of wall decor for the bedroom, or any wall in the home for that matter, wall art such as pictures, paintings and photographs is always a safe bet.
Just be mindful that how you arrange and place wall art is just as important as the quality of the art itself.
If you’re in possession of a true masterpiece then it’s a case of one-and-done, but working with groupings is a lot harder.
15. Wrapped wire discs
It turns out wires can be transformed into rather majestic decor pieces if you know what to do with them.
Wrapping brass wire around a disc creates a rich aesthetic that elevates the look and feel of a bedroom like nothing else. You can acquire them in mixed sized sets for an organic collage on the wall that boasts maximum glam.
16. Seagrass fans
For something light and airy and laid-back, yet still makes a statement from a design perspective, look no further than the seagrass fan.
The real selling point is that seagrass is sustainably grown and this means you can sleep easy knowing you’ve done your bit for the planet by choosing eco-friendly wall decor.
17. Drapes
With so many beautiful drapes out there, it would be a shame if your bedroom is windowless or has windows which are already catered for.
Actually, it doesn’t matter what your window situation is, because there’s nothing stopping you from decorating blank walls with drapery. We recommend hanging them behind the bed to join the headboard with the ceiling in stylish fashion.
18. Driftwood wall art
Don’t allow a piece of driftwood in a river or along a beach to pass you by – grab it and give it a new lease of life as natural wall decor!
Obviously we’re not saying you should literally head outside and gather some driftwood as nobody has time for that… Artisans have got you covered, with lots of amazing art made from driftwood available for purchase on the web.
19. Star wall decor
Looking to the universe in search of answers for the best bedroom wall decor may seem desperate but it really is an excellent source of design inspiration.
Take stars as an example – we associate them with that child-like wonder about outer space, and back home stars are used to represent excellence. You couldn’t make a stronger case for decorating a bedroom with star wall decor.
20. Half moon wall hangings
Maybe you are split down the middle between textile wall decor and a solid material like wood. Well, you’re in luck, as half moon wall hangings will meet you right in the middle.
The ‘half moon’ refers to the shape of the wood panel while along the bottom you get a quick change of aesthetic with a soft fringe.
When woodwork crosses paths with weaving, you get the half moon wall hanging, and the world of bedroom wall decor is better for it.
21. Leaf wall decor
Maybe you like putting your decor in rotation with the changing seasons. If so, have a go at depicting nature on your bedroom walls.
Since the only time you see leaves separated from trees in during the fall, that would be the perfect time of the year to showcase some supersized leaf decor, complete with those lush autumn tones.
Then do the same to celebrate notable characteristics of trees at other points of the year i.e. green leaf decor during the summer.
22. Wood lips wall decor
Perhaps you want to fill the bedroom with a feminine vibe, in which case it’s time to apply some red lipstick to your choice of wall decor.
To be more precise, we’re talking about a pair of lips and it’s sure to add a quirky look to the scheme. Human-sized lips won’t cut it – only large-scale lip decor will do, and try your luck with a slatted wood design as this carries more artistic value.
23. Moss wall panels
Moss is a rootless variety of plant and that means you have added flexibility on how you pot it and display it.
This is great news for your bedroom walls as moss can be teamed up with wall panels to create amazing vertical displays of greenery as if it were a picture or painting.
The juxtaposition when you confine organic matter to a square or rectangular panel is also noteworthy.
24. Metal wall art
Sometimes it’s wise to adorn the walls with decorative outlines so you don’t end up with a cluttered bedroom, which is a real risk if you live in a small apartment.
Metal wall art and sculptures are ideal in this regard, as the eye is treated to some fun visuals while the mind can still register the wall behind it, making the space feel a bit more open as a result.
25. Faux stag head
If you love animals and decide to decorate with animal decor, try to resist the temptation to go with pet-inspired decor like cats and dogs.
We say this because it won’t bring new energy to the space since those animals are already domesticated. A stag or something similar will bring a sense of the wilderness and sure to foster a lust for adventure.
26. Wrought iron wall decor
The word ‘regal’ springs to mind when you set your eyes on wrought iron wall decor, thanks to its highly decorative, symmetrical, crown-like appearance.
And that’s probably why they are a common sight on entrance gates leading to a grand residence – so what are you waiting for? Sleep like a king or queen by crowning the bed with wrought iron.
