Bedroom Wall Décor: Shape Guide

When choosing the perfect canvas shape for your space, determine which layout best represents your bedroom décor goals:

A Tried-and-True Classic: The Single-Panel Rectangle or Single-Panel Square

A Mix of Modern and Traditional: The Single-Panel Vertical Canvas or the Single-Panel Panoramic Canvas

Balanced but Bold: The Triptych Tri-Panel Canvas or the Symmetrical Five-Panel Canvas

Trendy and Multi-Dimensional: The Split Two-Piece Canvas or the Four-Panel "Wave" Canvas

Funky and Playful: The 7-Piece Hexagonal Canvas Set

Bedroom Wall Décor: Pro Tips

When hanging your wall art, follow this expert tip from our guide to hanging wall art the right way:

"Leave enough room in between the edge of the wall and your canvas print. There should be at least a foot from where the wall ends, before your artwork begins. Hanging your art too close to the edge of the wall can make a space look cramped and disproportionate. Your interior should feel comfortable, so it's important to avoid an unsettling layout. Give your home the greatest potential to feel open and welcoming."

Bedroom Wall Art Ideas: Size Guide

If you're ready to select your canvas size, read through this helpful expert from our ultimate wall art size guide:

Your wall art should take about 60% to 75% of the available empty wall space, the portion not covered by moldings 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.

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 couch is 6 feet wide, multiply it by 0.66 and 0.75.

Color Concepts and Palette Ideas

Wall art is a great way to tie together your bedroom color scheme. Choose artwork that combines multiple shades throughout your space to create a cohesive look.

Gray and Teal Bedroom Ideas

If you're starting from scratch, a trendy concept is to combine a muted neutral with a vibrant accent color. For example, select a soft neutral shade like grey or taupe for your base. Then incorporate a vivid cool color like teal, turquoise, or cobalt.

Our resident interior design expert Elimar Lobo Sáenz shares a color-specific design tip:

"Turquoise, a blend of light blue and green, has tropical undertones that bring to mind the cooling properties of the ocean and can instantly transport you to a relaxed day on the beach. It is said that turquoise represents a desire to make your own way in the world, under your very own terms."
