Transforming your bedroom doesn’t have to break the bank. With the right wallpaper, you can upgrade your sleep space with minimal effort. Whether your style is all about bold patterns or subtle florals, we’ve got a list of wallpaper ideas to help you breathe new life into your bedroom.
1. Floral Wallpaper
Wake up to nature right in your bedroom with floral wallpaper. There are a range of designs you can choose to fit your style – from vintage to contemporary. Looking for a more fresh and modern look? Choose large florals with soft, muted tones.
Maybe you’re working with a smaller space. Consider wallpaper featuring smaller floral patterns in a lighter shade to create a cozy feel that doesn’t overwhelm the room. Pair your floral wallpaper with airy decor like neutral cushions or curtains to create cohesion and flow.
2. Geometric Patterns
Geometric wallpaper is a great option if you want a more modern touch. Designs range from subtle to bold and eye-catching. With a range of patterns to choose from the goal is to aim for balance – like choosing a bold pattern as an accent wall to prevent the room from feeling too busy.
If you’re renting, peel-and-stick wallpaper is another great option because it’s easy to remove when you’re ready to move out. (We’ve got more peel-and-stick designs later in the list.)
3. Neutrals
Sometimes you want your bedroom to feel light and airy, and that’s exactly the feel neutral wallpaper designs can create. Think soft grays, beiges, and taupes as a backdrop for a variety of decor styles – you can even try different textures and patterns without feeling overwhelmed.
Subtle patterns like a delicate stripe or faint herringbone can offer depth and add to the serene feel of the room. Neutrals are versatile, giving you the option to play with bold decor colors without overpowering the wallpaper design.
4. Murals
Your bedroom doesn’t have to be ordinary – make a statement with a beautiful mural. A mural wallpaper design can add artistry and creativity with its scenic landscapes and abstract designs. They also work really well in large bedrooms, serving as the perfect accent wall behind your bed.
If you’re working with a smaller bedroom space a mural can actually make the room feel larger. Like in the example below, you can use part of your bedroom as a reading nook or creative space.
5. Peel and Stick Wallpaper
Easy and affordable? Yup! Peel-and-stick removable wallpaper has you covered. This increasingly popular wallpaper style is an excellent choice for anyone looking to refresh their bedroom on a budget.
With peel-and-stick options, you can experiment with different styles and patterns, changing it up without the long-term commitment (no damaged walls!).
There are many peel and stick design options to choose like bold patterns, florals, or minimalist designs.
6. Accent Walls
Using wallpaper to create an accent wall can add personality to your bedroom without overwhelming the space. An additional benefit of accent walls is they draw attention to a focal point in your room and create depth. Consider bold patterns or vibrant colors to make this wall pop.
Not sure which wall to choose? The wall behind your bed is a great choice. You can also try experimenting with other walls (a great opportunity to test out some peel and stick swatches) to see which design fits the room’s dimensions. For an easy upgrade choose a wallpaper that already complements your existing decor and color scheme.
7. Stripes
It might come as a surprise but stripes are a beautiful classic wallpaper choice that can be both bold and understated. With such a simple design style, stripes can serve as a great backdrop to other decor or design elements in your bedroom (along with working with a range of color palettes).
If you have a smaller room, vertical stripes can create the illusion of higher ceilings. On the other hand, horizontal stripes can add width to a narrow room.
Choose wide, bold stripes to add more drama to your bedroom and subtle stripes for a refined look.
8. Dark and Alluring
Dark and moody wallpaper offers a unique touch of cozy luxury to your bedroom. Not only is it intimate and inviting, but it can also be a really fun way to show off your design style – whether your vibe is witchy or classical. Consider getting this wallpaper in deep blues, rich charcoals, and dark greens.
Another consideration is balancing the darker tones with lighter accents, like white bedding or metallic decor, so the room doesn’t feel too heavy. Dark wallpaper works really well in large rooms and master suites, but you can also use it in rooms with smaller beds, like in the example above.
9. Japanese-Inspired
Japanese-inspired wallpaper brings a sense of minimalism to your room with delicate cherry blossoms, serene landscapes, or simple geometric patterns inspired by traditional Japanese art. These designs are great for creating an atmosphere of peace to relax and unwind at the end of a long day.
Japanese wallpaper can work with both modern and traditional decor, and we suggest pairing it with simple furniture and natural materials like wood and bamboo to complete the look.
10. Bold Maximalist
Go big and go bold! If maximalism is your design style, then maximalist wallpaper will feature the bold colors and vibrant designs you love. With maximalism, it’s all about embracing color, pattern, and texture to add energy and boldness to your room.
Think oversized florals, vibrant abstract designs, and eye-catching colors that make a statement.
Since maximalist wallpaper is often a reflection of your personality, don’t be afraid to choose a mix different wallpaper patterns and colors to achieve your desired look. Remember, in a maximalist room, more is never enough — so go ahead and layer on the color.
With the right bedroom wallpaper, a touch of inspiration (like picking your favorite design from our curated list), and a dash of creativity, you can easily transform your personal space into a stylish and inviting retreat. Happy wallpapering!
