How to Match Wall Art to your Bedroom

The design and colors of your bedroom can influence your mood and sleep patterns. If you are not satisfied with your bedroom décor, consider using wall art as an alternative to costly redecorating or renovation.

Comfort and tranquility are synonymous when it comes to designing a bedroom, but this does not mean you need to forego an aesthetically pleasing room. Although bright, bold colors are not conducive to sleep; with wall art, you can incorporate a few pieces without consuming the room, while still expressing your personal style.

For those who prefer more muted and natural colors, wall art is available in a variety of mediums, textures, fibers and colors. Natural and simple does not have to be boring.

Fabric as Wall Art

Fabrics are an impressive way to add color and texture to your bedroom. Wall tapestries and fabric art pieces provide great focal points that can enliven a room in a moment. Tapestry and fabric materials range from airy, light, natural fibers to those that denote elegance and sensuality. Today's fabric wall art need not resemble your grandmother's parlor rug.

While draperies are often considered to be window treatments, they can also be an expression of wall art. The availability of prints, colors and textures, in combination with decorative rods can drastically change the atmosphere of a room.

Paint as Wall Art

The addition of a painted mural can also change a room. If you are on a tight budget, you may want to try your hand at creating your own unique mural design. Newbies may want to focus on simple designs.

Stencils are also a fun way to add personal style to a bedroom. Elegant designs, when placed properly, can create the illusion of a larger, or divided space. Stencils are also a fun way to add character to a child's bedroom.

Wall Art Décor

Paintings, prints and photographs are small touches that can personalize your bedroom. If you lean towards a more sensual décor, try using tasteful, artistically inspired sensual prints or photographs.

Floral and nature scenes can also brighten a dull room. However, prints and paintings that are too bold and bright often take over a room. While you do not want colors that blend into the walls, you choose colors that compliment and contrast your design.

Lighting as Wall Art

Wall sconces are available in a variety of designs and colors that range from romantic to modern. Instead of harsh overhead lighting, the sconces impart a softer, indirect light that emanates from the wall.

Furniture as Wall Art

Shelving and mirrors are an inexpensive way to change the look of a bedroom. Mirrors can make a room appear more spacious. Shelving can be functional, as well as fun. Small shelves can hold everything from flower vases to photographs.

Artful Wall Coverings

Modern wallpaper is available in numerous patterns and textures. In fact, some wallpapers are designed to mimic murals in one easy application. Wallpaper designs are available to those who prefer to stick to tradition, as well as those looking for something a little more modern.
