Bedroom wall art: calm textured paintings for above the bed
The bedroom is the room where you want to slow down, so the art above your bed should feel restful rather than loud. This collection brings together the shapes that work best over a bed: wide landscape paintings that follow the line of the headboard, square canvases for smaller rooms and single beds, and two- and three-piece sets that frame a king-size bed beautifully. Calm colours – soft neutrals, beige, grey, gentle blues and greens – come first, with our best sellers at the top. Every piece is printed on canvas and hand-finished by our artists, so the raised texture adds depth and soft shadow without overwhelming the room.
Which shape suits your bedroom?
Landscape paintings are the most popular choice above a double or king-size bed. A long format such as 60 × 120 cm or 70 × 140 cm follows the width of the headboard.
Square paintings suit single beds, smaller bedrooms and the wall beside a dressing table or chest of drawers.
Two- and three-piece sets are a bedroom favourite: they spread the artwork across a wide headboard and create a hotel-style, symmetrical look. On sets, the listed size is for each piece.
What size wall art above a bed?
Aim for art that covers roughly two-thirds of the width of your bed. Above a double bed (135 cm), a painting or set about 90–110 cm wide looks balanced; above a king-size bed (150 cm), go for 100–120 cm. Leave 20–30 cm between the top of the headboard and the bottom of the frame so it feels connected to the bed without crowding it. Our UK wall art size guide and guide to hanging wall art safely walk you through it, including renter-friendly options.
Calm colours for a restful bedroom
Neutral, cream and beige paintings create a soft, airy feel and suit Scandinavian and Japandi bedrooms. See our ideas for cream and gold wall art.
Soft blues and greens are linked with rest and pair well with white bedding and natural wood. Deeper navy works in a moody bedroom – see navy and gold wall art ideas.
White 3D floral art brings texture to a neutral scheme without adding strong colour, and looks especially beautiful under bedside lamps. Find out how to light 3D textured art.
Choose art about two-thirds the width of the bed. Above a double bed (135 cm), a painting or set around 90–110 cm wide looks balanced; above a king-size bed (150 cm), aim for 100–120 cm.
How high should I hang a painting above my bed?
Leave 20–30 cm between the top of the headboard and the bottom of the frame. If there is no headboard, hang the art so its lower edge sits about 45–60 cm above the mattress.
Is a set of 2 or 3 paintings good for a bedroom?
Yes. Two- and three-piece sets are ideal above wide double and king-size beds, as they spread the artwork across the headboard and give a balanced, hotel-style look. On our sets, the listed size is for each piece and the price is for the whole set.
What colour wall art is best for a bedroom?
Calm colours work best in a bedroom: soft neutrals, cream, beige, grey and gentle blues and greens. That is why this collection shows calm tones first, followed by bolder pieces for those who prefer a statement.
Does bedroom wall art arrive ready to hang?
Yes. Every WallArtt painting, framed or stretched, arrives with hanging fittings already attached. Above a bed, use fixings suited to your wall and make sure the painting is level and secure – our hanging guide also covers renter-friendly options.
