If you’re looking for bedroom wall decor ideas to warm up your space, there are countless options at any price point. Choose wall decor that works with the style of your home, whether you favor modern, contemporary, rustic, traditional, minimalist, bohemian, Scandinavian, farmhouse, or any other style.

You can use anything from mirrors, framed artwork, photography, paint, wallpaper, and decor objects like decorative baskets or vintage pieces to fill the empty space above your bed or jazz up that blank wall opposite your windows.

We’ve rounded up a range of bedroom wall decor ideas to help you add a finishing touch to elevate your space.

Go Big With a Gallery Wall

A gallery wall is a fun way to decorate your bedroom with a mix of framed art, photography, and/or objects.

Here, a smaller grouping of pictures is paired with larger abstract pieces, resulting in a wow-worthy setup. If you have tall ceilings, use them to your advantage by hanging pictures nice and high up in order to make the most of this extra space.

Install a Mural

Make your walls truly shine with a mural. Even if you do not wish to paint the walls, there are many mural-like wallpapers that you can adhere (and remove when you’re ready for a new look) that will result in a similar effect.

Keep It Classic With a Mirror

Mirrors can function as art, too. Choose one that complements your wall color and bedding and watch it reflect sunlight and make your room appear a bit larger—mirrors are always winners.

Think Big and Abstract

If you’re unsure of what to do with that large, empty wall, oversized abstract art is often an excellent option. Whether you DIY a piece or purchase one from a favorite artist, don’t be afraid to go big and bold.

Make it Soothing

Abstract pieces also look beautiful hanging over the bed. This one resembles the ocean and has an extra soothing quality about it, which is perfect for a sleep space.

Try an Art Trio

Gallery walls don’t need to be gigantic to be impactful. Choose three favorite pieces and hang them in an artful formation over your bed, desk, or dresser. Do not feel pressured to cover every empty inch of wall space; just a few thoughtfully selected paintings or drawings will surely stand out.

Camouflage a TV in Style

Many people enjoy installing televisions in the bedroom but are worried that a large black box will be an eyesore. Make your TV look less severe by surrounding it with art or photos, as we see here. That way, even when you’re not watching anything, you’ll have something to admire.

Display All Your Favorites

If your house is absolutely overflowing with art and you can’t pick just a few favorite pieces, go ahead and hang a gallery wall. For a more cohesive look, place pictures in matching frames of various sizes.

Pick a Piece That Pops

Pick an art piece in a contrasting color to whatever is on your walls, and hang it so that it really pops. Again, just a few pieces of art will go a long way if you prefer to keep things somewhat simple.

Make a Timeless Design Choice

Fill the space over a queen or king bed with a series of three art prints that all go together for a sophisticated, timeless look.

Get Ready in Style

Just as you can install a gallery wall around your TV, you can also do so around a mirror. Getting ready is way more fun when you’re surrounded by some of your favorite works and photos.

Mix and Match

Go ahead and mix and match mediums and subjects in your bedroom if you wish. Hang a portrait full of personality in one corner and a nature scene in another for an eclectic pairing.

Let Children Weigh in

In a child’s room, art should be playful and contain pops of color. Older children may wish to play a role in selecting art pieces for their space, so be sure to allow them to voice their opinions during the decorating process.

Stick to a Theme

We’re all for a theme. Here, nautical art shines in a blue and white bedroom. Think outside the box with your frames and try a finish such as burlwood, which is always chic.

Tie in Nearby Hues

A long, thin abstract piece fits the width of this bed and draws in the blues, whites, and tans that are scattered throughout the room.

Go Bold

Perhaps you own neutral furnishings but are looking to embrace your colorful side through art. Don’t hold back: A bright and cheerful piece like this one makes a splash in an otherwise black and white bedroom.

Try a Tapestry

This isn’t the tapestry you had hanging in your dorm room, that’s for sure. Hanging textiles can make for lovely additions to any bedroom; perhaps you have a favorite tapestry or quilt from your travels that deserves a spot on the wall.

Go Vintage

Black and white photography makes any space look luxe. Here, photographs of vintage cars look right at home in a little boy’s room.

Showcase Your Personality

While we love a good triptych, it’s more than ok to mix different types of art and hang them together as a set of three. Your art should reflect your personality and aesthetic, after all.

Stock Up on Sketches

Framed sketches hang on either side of the bed and add some warmth to this airy, feminine space. Flea markets and vintage stores are great places to search for figure sketches of this nature.

Accent With Bold Colors

A bold, modern piece over the bed takes this gray bedroom to the next level. Bedside lamps in bold blue double as decor.

Combine Natural Materials

Create a natural zen feel in your bedroom by selecting functional pieces that double as decor. In this serene space, an extra-wide wood slat headboard adds warmth and texture to beige walls.

A modern sconce saves space and adds an organic sculptural element to the design.

Wallpaper the Ceiling

Add drama to your bedroom by hanging wallpaper on the wall above the bed, and continue it onto the ceiling for a bold, modern look. You can also wallpaper a single accent wall or just the ceiling if that works better for you.

When decorating your bedroom, don’t forget the fifth wall. You can decorate your ceiling with wallpaper, a contrasting paint color, ornate crown moldings, or a decorative pendant light to create an unexpected focal point.

Hang a Neon Sign

Personalize your bedroom walls with a neon sign that spells out a favorite phrase. Hang it above an extra-tall headboard to create a whimsical focal point.

Layer Paint and Art

Create dimension in your bedroom with contrasting paint colors and layered wall treatments.

This New York City bedroom has sage green walls, a slightly darker circle design above the headboard, and a bright piece of art in shades of purple that brings the wall to life.

Add Boho Style With Macrame

Hang a macrame wall hanging on the wall to add breezy boho style to your bedroom. Paint the wall in a warm beige to make the textile wall decor stand out.

Hang Wallpaper Panels

Instead of wallpapering the whole, hang a wallpaper panel on the wall like a piece of art. Finish it with wood trim that acts like a frame for a polished feel.

Try a Statement Headboard

A statement headboard is both functional and decorative. Choose a style that works with the rest of your decor, like this rattan flower headboard that adds a finishing touch to this cozy retro bedroom.

How to decorate a plain wall in the bedroom? 

You can decorate a plain bedroom wall with paint, wallpaper, decals, framed art, photography, or decor objects like decorative baskets or hats. If you’re a renter, removable peel-and-stick wallpaper is a smart option.

How can I decorate my bedroom with simple things? 

Use what you have. Hang a collection of straw hats above the bed. Hang a framed, blown-up favorite travel or family photo on the wall. Incorporate natural elements like a vase filled with dried pampas grass.

What accessories can I put in my bedroom? 

You can accessorize your bedroom with textiles like throw pillows, blankets, curtains, and area rugs. Add bonus furniture like a storage bench at the foot of the bed, a rocking chair, or a statement headboard.

Hang colorful framed art, black-and-white photography, or favorite vintage finds to decorate the walls.
