15 Bedroom Wall Decor Ideas for the Ultimate Retreat

The bedroom should be your sanctuary. Whether you’re updating your primary suite or outfitting the guest room, a sleeping space should have all the cozy fixings, including plush sheets, the best accent pillows, amazing organizational hacks, and bedroom wall decor that makes you feel at ease. That’s right—you can’t overlook the walls!

There’s a ton of opportunities to weave in fun and function on your bedroom wall. You could swipe on a calming paint color or put up removable wallpaper behind the bed as makeshift headboard. (Though if you’re in the market for a new upholstered headboard, there are amazing options out there.) Or, you could hang floating shelves and deck them out with photos or other tchotchkes. Maybe you’re interested in hanging a gallery wall or finding a set of prints that acts as the perfect finishing touch to your decor. The good news is you can rest easy when it comes to searching for that just-right piece, as some of the best bedroom wall decor ideas are waiting for you below. Sleep tight!

Not sold on floating shelves or a single shelf? Consider accent shelves with a contemporary design like these, which feel modern yet versatile. They’re also deep enough to hold frames, small plants, and decor.
