If you don’t know where to start, build your whimsical space with delicate décor. You can always add edgy décor after you have a polished, peaceful base.

Bedroom Wall Ideas
Try a dreamy print with a soft-focus appearance and a slightly surreal theme. Our dreamy collection is perfect for elevating your master bedroom while still maintaining a sense of refinement. Focus on cool colors if you want an extra-relaxing look. For an unexpected wall décor idea, try hanging a vertical painting on the side of your bed over your bedside table. While above-bed artwork undoubtedly makes a statement (+ it’s a great way to fill empty space,) this asymmetrical look will have a more eclectic appearance. If you can’t sacrifice symmetry, try one painting over each bedside table! This will maintain a unique look while still satisfying your desire for balance.

Dare to Be Different: Wall Décor for Bedrooms
Even though master bedrooms are typically classy, sophisticated, and traditional, you can opt to take a more modern route! Add a contemporary edge to your space without sacrificing style. Explore more industrial or eclectic pieces, and offset the quirky elements by being ultra-selective with your décor.
The minimalist approach will allow you to pick daring décor that pops. Rather than just choosing decorations that look attractive, select pieces that mean something to you and make a statement! Avoid mass-produced furniture and accessories, and opt for something more niche and unique. Browse second-hand stores for one-of-a-kind pieces and unconventional ideas. From light fixtures to side tables, don’t be afraid to mix and match different styles as long as you don’t crowd your space.

Showcase Your Personality with Bedroom Wall Décor
Because your master bedroom is your most personal space, it’s imperative to show off your personal style! Beyond color scheme and overall aesthetic, your unique interests should be scattered throughout the room. Consider using wall décor to display your personal taste in music, film, or pop culture in general. If you have a favourite movie or book character, search for a piece of wall art that celebrates the story you’re passionate about! The beauty of wall art is that it can be swapped out as your interests change. Another benefit to using pop culture-inspired wall art in your master bedroom is to bond with your partner! If you have a specific shared interest with your partner, hang a piece of wall décor that celebrates your joint passion! Choose an artistic depiction of a celebrity, music artist, or film character who you both love.

Bedroom Art Ideas that Nobody Else Has
Creating a unique space is no easy task, especially if you want to incorporate trendy elements into your bedroom. Lean into what’s popular without curating a cookie-cutter space. We offer wall décor that is brand-new to the market, which means you likely won’t find it in other homes.

Complementing Your Artwork with Bedroom Wall Décor
Although we might be a little biased towards wall art, it’s not the only form of wall décor you can use to transform your master bedroom! There are plenty of dynamic elements you can hang on and around your wall. For example, floating shelves will never go out of style! Because your master bedroom is such a personal space, try placing pieces of personal memorabilia on the shelves around your bed. Another way to decorate your bedroom walls is to add hanging plants. You can still use a piece of wall art as the main focal point in your space, but additional wall décor will create a cozy feel. Finally, consider adding texture to an accent wall with antique-style paint techniques for a perfectly imperfect touch.

Edgy Bedroom Wall Décor
For an extra-edgy décor idea for your master bedroom, our brand-new Banksy-inspired collection is ideal! Curated by our art director, Tirzah Goodman, this street-art style selection is perfect for the daring designer. While Banksy might not be the first artist who comes to mind for master bedroom décor, that’s what makes his work even more enticing. 2022 is about taking risks, and a graffiti-inspired print is perfect for adding something unforeseen. While you might not have many houseguests in your master bedroom, that’s even more reason to take chances with your décor. Decorate with hints of gray to tie in your Banksy print, but don’t forget to add some warm tones so your interior doesn’t look too cold. Colors like burnt orange, deep red, and golden yellow will still look modern while keeping a cozy feel.

Master Bedroom Wall Art: Sizes
When it comes to the sizing of your canvas, we have an entire guide for selecting the perfect print size. Below are a few excerpts to get you started:
“Your wall art should take about 60% to 75% of the available empty wall space, the portion not covered by mouldings or furniture. Measure the height and width of the wall. Now, multiply the measurements by both 0.6 and 0.75. As a result, you will get the range of canvas print sizes to suit the space.
For instance, if your blank wall is 9 feet tall and 5 feet wide, multiply 9 by 0.6 to get the low end of the ideal height range. Then multiply 9 by 0.75 to get the high end of the ideal height range. Do the same for your wall's 5 feet width. The ideal height of the canvas would be 5.4 - 6.75 feet and the ideal width would be 3 feet - 3.75 feet.
Wall art that you want to hang over furniture, such as a fireplace, a bed or a couch, should be between 2/3 and 3/4 of the furniture's width. To measure the ideal art size above your furniture, consider this example: If your bed is 6 feet wide, multiply it by 0.66 and 0.75. You need a canvas between 3.96 feet and 4.5 feet wide to fit impressively.”
Bedroom Artwork: Shapes
