Making an emphasis
When decorating a bedroom, pay attention to the design of the bedroom in terms of lighting. Study the location of the decor, furniture, and main material. Its appearance depends on the angle of incidence of light on the future decoration.
Don't forget about the functional meaning of decor. If owners read before bed or work in bed, lighting needs to be added to the headboard design. A good option is pendant lamps, table lamps, and other options.
A way to decorate walls with a single print
To improve the compatibility of the design of the headboard and the lighting solution, choose lamps with a unique design, placing them next to the bed, attaching small details to them, matched to the style of the room.
Invite a specialist decorator who will plan the cladding and tell you how to place the lighting.
It is difficult to choose the right one among the materials on the market. If you plan to place shelves above the bed, give preference to products made from natural wood. Artificial materials will spoil the external perception of the room. Particleboard and fibreboard contain harmful impurities that can harm health.
Combination of shelves and frames
If you plan to install mirror surfaces, securely fix them to the walls. A good solution is to use natural materials in the panels. It is not advisable to save on decoration. Coverings should not harm the sleeping owner.
Cover
Another textile item, the choice of which is often not approached very responsibly. To decorate your bedroom, consider lace or knitted bedspreads, which will add an interesting texture to the room. Interiors look especially interesting where snow-white lace bedspreads are laid on colored bed linen and vice versa - a contrasting color scheme is obtained.

Selection of materials
Before you start working on decorating your bedroom, choose methods and materials:
- Natural wood is used to create shelves, picture frames, mirrors, or the paintings themselves. A part of the room decorated with wood will set it apart from the rest of the space, contrast with other materials, and make the bedroom more comfortable.
- Plasterboard sheets are easier to use in decoration. They are used for accent work due to their low price. The small mass of the sheet allows you to give it almost any shape.

- Glass decorations are attached carefully. Niches or shelves should be provided for them. Glass looks good in combination with other materials.
Glass jewelry
- Paper crafts are a budget-friendly way to decorate a room. An alternative is to use photo wallpaper or photographs.
Paper fakes
- Wall panels are suitable for implementing original ideas. They are produced with imitation brick or natural stone. The classic use of panels in light shades works great.
- If the house is decorated in a minimalist style, a good option is to paint the walls monotonously. Surfaces are painted with brushes and stencils.
- Natural materials are popular when decorating. To add originality, arrange plants on the shelves. Hanging or placing pots with plants on shelves will make the room spectacular.
Mirror
Where would a room be without a mirror? That's right - nowhere. Let it be not only functional, but also beautiful. For classic styles, mirrors with massive frames decorated with carved elements are perfect. Irregular shaped mirrors with wooden frames will look good in natural styles.

Tile
Tiles are appropriate when decorating a bedroom. Before installation, prepare the surface by applying an infrared coating in the form of a film heating device. This will protect against electric shocks; the film will become the main heating system.
Using tiles
The use of variegated color combinations is now popular. Tile manufacturers produce such sets. They are easy to find in market places or as monotonous collections.

Wood paneling
With this type of design, choose one of the design types:
- Artificially aged boards, in combination with other decor, create a unique design.
- Photo wallpaper with an original painting that concentrates the attention of visitors on the wall.
Wood
When using natural, aged wood, you will need to spend a significant amount of money.
The finished design will look noble. If you choose photo wallpaper, the price will be low. This will not add to the originality of the design.
Soft panels
If the apartment is located in a corner, the walls are not warm enough, they must be insulated and decorated at the same time. Textile soft panels are installed on sandwich sheets. They insulate the room and increase its sound insulation. Sandwich panels are a combination of several layers of plastic and sealant or sheets of rigid metal, polyvinyl chloride, fiberboard, and a layer of insulation. The combination reduces noise coming from the street and heat loss.

Installation instead of repainting
If you are unwilling or unable to completely repaint the walls in the bedroom, partial painting is sufficient. Adding white tones will reduce tension from the visible wall.
Installation with paper cubes
An alternative option is to stick several light cubes on the wall. Cubes can vary in size and be installed at angles. After long-term gluing, the result will be unique. The panel looks good against a dark background.
If the apartment is decorated in a minimalist style, there is no desire to deviate from the traditional solution; it is enough to leave all surfaces monotonous. The right accessories will make the wall attractive.
Monotonous design
In old brick houses, the main layers of plaster are removed and the condition of the brick is restored. If necessary, paint with emulsion paint.
Wall painting in the bedroom
In every style, beautiful painting on the walls is appropriate. This is the creation of a unique and inimitable interior that will definitely not be repeated by anyone. Artistic painting changes the room: it becomes original, aristocratic, sophisticated. If the pattern is made with high quality, it retains its original appearance for many years.
When choosing a pattern, take into account the style and design of the room: pastoral is ideal for a bedroom in the Provence style, pop art is ideal for modern and modern. If this is minimalism, abstractionism will be an excellent solution.
Painting is no less relevant option compared to photo wallpaper. It could be the sea, forest, mountains, sky dotted with stars. Perhaps these are paintings in a romantic style. You shouldn’t choose too bright pictures – they need to be complemented with minimalist furniture in a monochromatic color scheme.

Photo wallpaper
Photo wallpaper is a popular way to decorate surfaces above the bed. However, difficulties arise with the placement of the print. Especially if part of the wallpaper is covered by the bed. Therefore, before gluing, you need to plan the pattern taking into account the height of the headboard. After completing the sketch, print the finished wallpaper based on it. In addition to difficulties with planning, they are also difficult to glue due to the butt-to-butt gluing.

What to hang above the bed in the bedroom
The empty ceiling above the bed needs to be properly decorated. If a few years ago they used stucco, wallpaper or paint, now designers recommend original options. In order not to clutter the space, you need to use decorative elements in doses.
Canopy
This popular decoration brings a romantic touch to the room. The design takes up a lot of space, visually hides several centimeters from the ceiling, and is therefore contraindicated for small rooms. There are several design options:
- Tent. The frame model is attached to the ceiling with a hook.
- Canopy. The solution with flowing fabrics is fixed to a horizontal support bar.
- Royal. Classic design with vertical posts that stand at the corners of the bed.

Framework
Using frames is a chaotic technique for decorating walls. To make it beautiful, you will have to involve specialists. If the frames are hung correctly, what is depicted on them can be moved away. Any images from country flags to children's creativity are used for decoration. It is possible to use different symbols or art in combination with photographs and graphics. Or make a panel from photographs.

The head of everything, or how to design the head of the bed
Use pendant lights with unusual shapes. The main thing is that it does not interfere with going to bed and getting up at night, plus check the reliability of the fastening. Bedside lighting is an interesting solution in itself. The warm light falling on the bedspread creates a homely atmosphere. Additional reflections on the walls from rhinestone or metal inserts awaken romantic feelings. The softness of the dim lighting lulls you to a sound sleep.

Watercolor triptychs with flying, translucent strokes look very original.
Combinations of wooden, plastic or thin metal frames will create a unique pattern. It will definitely be exclusive, since no one in the world will repeat it.
Asymmetrical composition of frames with photographs and drawings
Print large photos from your photographs with a pleasant plot in a large format. A holiday at the seaside, a hike in the mountains, an ordinary walk in the forest with a camera are quite suitable for pleasant memories when looking at memorable photos. Experts say the black-and-white works behind glass look like part of a professional photography exhibition.
Decorate the headboard with your favorite photo in large format
A series of pop art style printed posters above the head of the bed is a wonderful way to smile at yourself and the world.
A glass box with additional lighting or reflective details will look as if the futuristic design of the future from a dream has come straight into your bedroom.
A one-dimensional mirror surface or a series of symmetrically placed mirrors will expand the room by reflecting objects on the opposite wall.
Make fabric draperies. A canopy over the bed, as a classic option for decorating a sleeping area, was born from the desire to seclude the resting place from prying eyes. A canopy covering the entire bed is now rarely used, as it collects dust and is more likely to harm a good sleep than help. Stylized canopies are relevant in modern homes as a decorative element without clear functionality.

Decorate the wall above the bed with carved wood elements. Wood in the skillful hands of a craftsman allows you to create unusually sophisticated patterns.
Place hanging shelves and niches at the head of the bed. The convenience of using them in the bedroom can hardly be overestimated. Phone, glasses, books, medicines and a thousand other little things that you just need to reach out to. Plasterboard niches are gaining more and more fans due to the simplicity and mobility of repairs.

Design solutions
If none of the wall decor options are suitable, choose unique design ideas. These include:
- Shelves located at non-standard angles.
- Installation of mirrors in different styles and directions.
- Create a designer wooden headboard to highlight an eco-friendly style.
- Cabinets and shelves with hanging lamps.
Mirrors in different decors
When decorating walls and ceilings near the bed in bedrooms, it is important to ensure their compatibility with other objects and textiles on the bed. When choosing and planning, do not deviate from the basic style of the apartment. A significant contrast will be detrimental to the overall impression. Be sure to choose environmentally friendly materials for your sleeping room.
What do psychologists say?
Soul healers have been conducting experiments for a fair number of years and developing numerous recommendations on how to decorate the wall above the bed in the bedroom. It has been proven that nuances affect the human brain in a certain way, changing mood. The choice of wall color reveals the character of the owner of the room better than a questionnaire with several dozen questions.
The color scheme of the bedroom walls matters
The creative streak is hidden in yellow. It improves your mood, makes you fantasize, but hints at adventure. Perhaps yellow is not the most reliable friend for falling asleep, but several elements will help drive away fears and dark thoughts into the night. Stylish lamps above the head of the bed or photo frames hung in a chaotic manner on the area of the accent wall.
In a yellow bedroom you will dream of adventures
White color is considered a symbol of fearlessness, purity and getting rid of unnecessary thoughts. On a psychophysical level, it fills people with energy. It is not for nothing that the Nordic nations in northern Europe chose this color as the main content of their corporate style. White walls with the same patterns stimulate the desire to act. In the bedroom, it is recommended to add a little blue to white to reduce tension before bed. For example, decorate one wall in a marine theme.
The restraint of the Scandinavian style is diluted with color photographs on white walls
Blue fights insomnia and overcomes high blood pressure. This healing effect must be used wisely. Blue calms both children and adults, removes fatigue, and activates positive thought processes. Azure or sapphire is usually chosen by independent people with a melancholic type of temperament. For the main background in the bedroom, it is advisable to choose a muted color, since high saturation will put too much pressure on the owner. Light blue and notes of beige will balance the perception of the heaviness of blue.
The color blue will bring calm and deep, restful sleep to the bedroom.
Red wallpaper in undiluted form leads to fatigue too quickly. But if you add them in doses to the main neutral background, passion will break through all the shackles. Psychologists advise experienced spouses to renovate their bedroom by adding a scarlet pattern or a sensual print to the wall. Fabric wallpaper with a reddish sheen of thread looks solid and expensive, giving rise to a feeling of well-being in the soul. Since everything is fine, your sleep will be great. With pleasant dreams of a wonderful future.
Even in small doses, red tends to dominate
Relaxation with one hundred percent results will occur in a room with green walls. At first it seems that this is an ideal option for decorating the walls in the bedroom. But there we not only go to bed, but also get up in the morning when we need vigor, and not constant yawning. The solution is simple. Dilute the green with your palette brethren. Light green, light gray, white. The radical contrast with orange, which symbolizes success, will once again remind you that green is considered a sign of wealth.
Green color will set you up for a restful sleep
Can I use black in the bedroom? Disputes among psychologists continue to this day. On the one hand, it is too heavy and depressing. But if you look at it from a different angle, what color is more respectable than this? The designers listened carefully to the arguments of all the participants in the dispute and put forward their verdict: to be black. In small decorative quantities. One wall. Not more. And always with accessories and additions in the form of decor.
No other color compares to black for expressiveness.
