Foolproof Guide to Picking The Best Bedroom Wall Art: 6 Designer Tips to Make The Process Fast & Easy

1. Imagine Your Ideal Mood As Your Fall Asleep and Wake Up

Ask yourself, in a perfect world, how would you feel as you fall asleep and wake up?

Calm and relaxed?

Comfortable and peaceful?

Rested and recharged?

Pick two words that would describe your ideal mood as you fall asleep every night and wake up the next morning. Keep these two words in mind while designing the aesthetic of your bedroom. 

2. Set Color Palette Based on Your Ideal Sleeping and Waking Moods

Google or go to Pinterest and search your sleeping or waking “ideal moods + color.”

Use these color results to pick the color of your bedroom wall art and your bedroom color palette. 

Color is scientifically proven to impact your mood and emotion. 

Choosing the correct bedroom wall art color palette can be the difference between feeling restless or relaxed. 

The Best Bedroom Wall Art Colors

The most popular bedroom artwork colors are warm pastels, soft whites, and neutral blues or greens. Match your ideal mood with one of these color palettes to pick the perfect bedroom wall art.

Warm Pastel Wall Art

Warm pastel colored bedroom wall art consists of soft creams and tans, light pinks, soft yellows or oranges, and an accent of light blue. 

These colors are light and cheerful. They embody the spirit of spring – hope, rebirth, and renewal. 

In a bedroom, warm pastels make the space feel welcoming. They create an environment where you can recharge and re-energize.

Soft White Wall Art

Soft white bedroom art consists of an array of whites spanning from creamy to tan or even gray. 

Emotionally, white represents purity, cleanliness, and peacefulness. 

A cohesive white bedroom scape makes your space feel bright, light, and open. It’s a space where you wake up feeling refreshed and motivated. 

Neutral Blue and Green Wall Art 

Neutral blue or green bedroom artwork consists of a range of blues and greens that mimic nature scenes. They are often paired together and then balanced with a tan or gray accent. 

Blue and green wall art is peaceful and grounding. Blue, especially, evokes feelings of calm. Whereas green – a combination of blue and yellow – brings the peacefulness of blue with a touch of energy from yellow. 

Neutral blue and green in your bedroom makes your space feel like a safe-haven. A spa-like oasis. Your bedroom becomes a place where you retreat, feeling comfortable and peaceful.

3. Coordinate Bedroom Wall Art Color with Existing Furniture and Bedding

High-quality bedroom furniture and bedding can be expensive. 

The best investment when designing your bedroom is to choose timeless pieces of furniture that are easy to decorate in a variety of styles. 

If you choose a super trendy headboard or dresser, you might regret the decision in a few years when the piece looks outdated. 

The easiest way to stay on-trend in your bedroom is with trending bedroom décor that coordinates with your timeless furniture. 

PRO TIP: Don’t go super matchy-matchy. 

It’s tempting to get a “complete bedroom set” to avoid the overwhelming number of choices. 

But, a lack of variety in color and texture can make your bedroom feel impersonal and cold. 

A more curated collection feels thoughtful, elegant, and sophisticated. 

Choose timeless bedroom furniture that coordinates. Then accent with trending décor that fits your bedroom mood color palette. 

4. Consider Bedroom Lighting Conditions

To reduce light exposure while sleeping, your bedroom is more likely to have smaller windows and less natural lighting than other rooms in your home. 

And if you do have large windows with ample natural light, you likely have drapes or blackout curtains.

Because of this, your bedroom may feel smaller and more cramped than other rooms in your home. 

Keep this in mind when choosing bedroom wall art. If you pick dark or very colorful bedroom artwork, it might make your bedroom feel small, cluttered, or cramped. 

If you have a smaller bedroom, consider neutral colored wall art to make the space feel more airy and open.

5. Don’t Be Afraid to Try Something New & Unconventional

Your bedroom is one of the most personal spaces in your home. It’s a place where you are vulnerable, so you should feel your most comfortable and relaxed. 

It’s important you feel comfortable fully embracing yourself in your bedroom. It’s one of the best places to express yourself confidently. 

If that means trying something new or unconventional – go for it! 

Because your bedroom aesthetic matters. 

When you feel comfortable and relaxed in your bedroom, you are able to sleep better and wake up in a better mood, feeling more refreshed. 

Stop trying to make your bedroom look like someone else’s Pinterest board. Start creating a space that makes you feel happy, comfortable, and relaxed.
