Bedroom
Bedroom wall art in long, narrow formats - canvas prints designed for above the bed, alcoves and slim walls where standard artwork feels out of proportion. From calming abstracts and botanicals to nature scenes and Japanese-inspired prints, horizontal and vertical pieces bring balance to compact bedrooms without overwhelming the room.
Every piece is available framed in oak, walnut or black, and arrives ready to hang.
Bedroom wall art - frequently asked questions
Sizing, hanging height and the questions we are asked most.
What size wall art works in a bedroom?
It depends what the art hangs above. Above a bed, go for roughly two-thirds the bed's width - 20"x60" (50x150cm), 24"x72" (60x180cm) or 30"x60" (75x150cm) over a king, and 16"x48" (40x120cm) or 20"x40" (50x100cm) over a double. On a narrow wall beside a wardrobe or in an alcove, a vertical 12"x36" (30x90cm) or 16"x48" (40x120cm) fits without crowding the room.
What colours of wall art are best for a bedroom?
Muted, low-contrast palettes work best - soft neutrals, sage and olive greens, dusty blues, warm beige and blush. These read as restful rather than stimulating, which matters more in a bedroom than in any other room. Save the high-contrast blacks and bright primaries for a hallway or home office where you want the wall to wake you up rather than settle you down.
Where should you hang art in a bedroom other than above the bed?
The wall facing the bed, so it is the first thing you see in the morning; the narrow strip beside a wardrobe or door; above a chest of drawers or dressing table; and either side of the bed as a matching pair in place of a single piece. A tall vertical canvas suits the wardrobe gap; a long horizontal one suits the space above a chest of drawers.
Should bedroom art match the bedding or the walls?
Neither, exactly. Pick up one tone from the room - a wood finish, a cushion, the wall colour - and echo it in the frame or in a secondary colour in the artwork, rather than matching the dominant colour outright. Matching too closely makes the art disappear; picking up a single shared note ties the room together while letting the piece still register as art.
What frame colour suits a bedroom best?
Wood and walnut are the safest choices in a bedroom - they warm the room and sit comfortably with most furniture. White frames suit pale, minimal or coastal rooms and keep the wall feeling light. Black is the sharpest option and works best in a room with other black details to answer it; gold suits richer, more traditional schemes. All five are available on every piece.
