Bedroom wall ideas – how to design the space behind the bed?

 

Bedroom wall decor may seem unnoticeable, but in reality it sets the tone for the whole room, so it's worth designing it thoughtfully and in line with your chosen interior style. You can also take the opposite approach – let the wall behind the bed set the direction for the other decorations.

 

You can find wall design ideas online, check out solutions at interior design fairs or take inspiration from current trends, which clearly point to wallpaper as a bedroom wall idea. The reason is simple: a wide choice of patterns and colors, easy installation and a quick makeover make wallpaper more appealing than solutions that require more radical changes to the wall structure – and bigger budgets.

Designing the wall behind the bed step by step – wallpaper as the main accent

 

Bedroom wallpaper isn't a new idea, but it keeps evolving. Wall-to-wall murals used to be very fashionable, but today interior designers recommend subtle, delicate bedroom wallpapers that still make a statement. The wallpaper should be clearly visible and stand out from the blank wall, but that doesn't mean you need a strong color contrast. Remember that the bedroom is a place to rest, so aim to reduce stimuli rather than add them.

 

How can you decorate a blank bedroom wall with wallpaper? There are several ways. The simplest is to cover the whole wall from top to bottom. This works well in large bedrooms, where you don't need optical illusions to make the room look bigger.

 

In a smaller bedroom, a good solution is to wallpaper only the central part of the wall. This creates the impression that the wall is wider. You can enhance this effect by choosing bedroom wallpaper with a small geometric pattern. The smaller the pattern, the wider the wall will seem, even if it's actually narrow. A similar effect comes from wallpaper with tiny flowers.

 

Hanging wallpapers step by step isn't complicated, and you can do it yourself. Sticking wallpaper onto a smooth, clean wall doesn't require experience. Still, it's definitely worth preparing properly – paste brushes, rollers for smoothing the wallpaper and wet wipes or cloths are the bare minimum. You'll also need time – wallpapering shouldn't be rushed.

 

 

How to match wallpaper to your bedroom style?

 

If your bedroom is finished and only the wall behind the bed needs a finishing touch, you'll need to stick to a specific style. In that case, remember that:

– Scandinavian style focuses on geometric motifs, almost always uses gray and pairs it with yellow, navy or pastels,

– modern style is about simplicity and timeless design – vertical stripes in neutral colors work well,

– eco style focuses on earthy colors and nature-inspired shapes,

– boho style likes unconventional solutions and isn't afraid of asymmetry, but in its modern version it steers clear of strong colors and is much closer to rustic style,

– glam style loves sparkle, so glossy wallpaper and shiny accessories,

– minimalist style is very sparing with decorations – a solid-color wallpaper will be just right,

– avant-garde style loves to surprise, and abstract wall art suits it.

 

Which bedroom colors create the perfect space to relax?

 

The fewer strong, bright colors, the better. The bedroom should be a place that promotes calm and rest. Vivid shades of red, pink, yellow, orange or green are stimulating and can make it harder to fall asleep, especially for an afternoon nap. White, beige and gray, on the other hand, are exceptionally calming, and these are the colors to consider first.

 

When looking for an answer to the question of what to put on the wall behind the bed, take a careful look around the room. Whether you choose wallpaper or another solution, remember to coordinate the colors. A smooth transition from wall to wallpaper is definitely a better option than a very strong contrast.

 

Is wallpaper the best way to decorate a blank wall? Other options that work in a bedroom

 

How else can you decorate a bedroom wall, if not with wallpaper? Wallpaper itself seems the best option, not only because of its price and how easy it is to hang, but also because it's quick to remove or can be painted over.

However, if wallpaper doesn't fit your concept, you have plenty of options to choose from, including:

– textured paint,

– raw wood,

– 3D tiles,

– decorative molding,

– stone,

– a mirror,

– 3D panels.

 

You can create interesting bedroom walls with moss panels, but this requires fairly high humidity and little sunlight. Not every bedroom can provide such a microclimate. Instead of live moss, you can use wallpaper in the right color, which will let you feel at least a little like you're in a forest.
