In this collection of 10 bedroom wall art ideas for men, I showcase my realistic pencil drawings that I think will appeal to a male audience.
The idea is to find a range of images that women will like and appeal to their menfolk. My subjects include a deer stag, tigers, male lions, male great apes, rhinos, and more. You get the theme. I’ve added a couple of pet subjects as alternatives to the wildlife bias.
These drawings were all originally hand-drawn by me, from my own references. I have inserted them in bedroom mockups for context and inspiration.
Enjoy.
Bedroom Wall Art Ideas fo Men: Framed Stag Print
A serene bedroom setting. A wooden bed with a gray blanket and a dark pillow is positioned against a wall painted in a muted green shade.
Above the bed, hangs a framed black and white print of a red stag. A perfect male image.
To the right of the bed, there’s a wooden nightstand with a white lamp and a potted plant. The room is illuminated by natural sunlight streaming in from a window on the right, casting soft shadows on the wall.
“You don’t always have to travel far to find iconic animal subjects. I photographed this red deer stag in Regents park in London during the rutting season.
The park is a former royal hunting reserve in the heart of the capital and the native deer have been resident for many hundreds of years”
Bedroom Ideas, Mens Wall Art: A White Tiger Print
A large bed with white and gray bedding is centrally positioned, and adorned with several pillows. A textured gray blanket drapes over the foot of the bed.
To the left, a wooden nightstand holds a vase with dried branches and a white candle. Above the bed, a framed black and white drawing of a white tiger hangs on a white wall.
A white pendant light with a black shade hangs from the ceiling, casting a soft glow over the room. On the right, a net curtain hangs gently, allowing a hint of natural light to seep in.
“This is a white tiger going for a swim, yet another subject from Singapore Zoo. There are no white tigers in the wild. They are not a separate species, as many people think, but a white form of Bengal tiger.
They were once found around Rewa in Northern India but only occurred as a result of in-breeding. They are of no conservation concern but are undeniably beautiful animals”
Mens Bedroom Wall Art: Set of 2 Wildlife Art Prints
Dominating the center is a neatly made bed with white linens, gray and beige pillows, and a textured gray blanket.
Above the bed hangs a woven pendant light. To the left of the bed, there’s a wooden nightstand with a vase holding some greenery. On the right, a white built-in closet or wardrobe is visible.
The room is adorned with two framed black and white wildlife illustrations on the wall above the bed. One is a drawing of a red stag and the other is a portrait of a tiger.
Large windows on the left allow natural light to flood in, and a textured brown rug lies at the foot of the bed.
“One of my earliest attempts using mechanical pencils. I drew this bad boy long before I’d seen wild tigers in India. This is a Sumatran tiger from London Zoo and extremely endangered subspecies.
The closest I have some to a wild Sumatran tiger was finding a footprint and scat (poo) when I was hiking in Gunung Leuser National Park. Its the largest tract of forest remaining on the island and one of its last strongholds.”
Mens Bedroom Wall Art Ideas: Black and White Wildlife Drawings
A stylish bedroom with a minimalist and cozy design. The bed has white sheets, a beige throw blanket, and two grey pillows.
On the wall above the bed, there are two framed black-and-white wildlife prints. The print on the left features a close-up of a cockatoo, with detailed pencilwork. The print on the right shows a tiger in water, creating a sense of calm.
To the left of the bed, there’s a modern white hanging light fixture, and a bedside table with a vase of dried flowers. The overall decor is simple and elegant, with neutral tones that create a relaxing atmosphere.
“Amongst the smartest birds in the animal kingdom, cockatoos ooze character. I encountered this bird on a diving trip in Indonesia. It was a family pet and I took the opportunity to take a few snapshots.
I was drawn to the texture of the feathers. It took a while to figure out how to render a life-like effect. I think I succeeded. I like this parrot profile.”
Mens Bedroom Decor Wall Art Ideas: Male Orangutan Drawing
A cozy bedroom setting. A wooden bed with white linens and a deep burgundy pillow is positioned against a teal-colored wall.
Above the bed, hangs a framed black and white pencil drawing of a male orangutan.
To the left of the bed, there’s a small wooden nightstand with a white desk lamp, a gold-colored container, and a stack of books.
The floor is adorned with a textured gray rug, and a window with light blue curtains is visible on the right.
“I’ve seen so many wild and semi-wild orangutans that, sometimes, I forget where I saw them. I think this was the big male in Semenggoh Park in Sarawak, Borneo.
It’s semi-wild like so many orangutans. Native forest has been stripped in much of Borneo and many rescued orangutans end up living in patches of forests set aside as a home.”
Men’s Bedroom Wall Art Decor: The Pet Cat
A bed with a textured gray blanket and a dark teal pillow is positioned against a white wall.
Above the bed, hangs two framed black and white pictures, one large landscape photograph and the other a drawing of the family pet cat.
To the left of the bed, there’s a wooden nightstand with a white lamp, a potted plant, and a charging cable. The floor is adorned with a gray shaggy rug, and the room exudes a calm and cozy ambiance.
“This is a real Siamese cat, not a pure bred but a Siamese none the less. I met her in Thailand and you can’t get more authentic than that, she’s a true native.
I was staying in a beachside guest house and this was the owners’ cat. She’s doing what all respectable cats do, waiting for her fair share of my dinner.
It’s not obvious from this angle but she was heavily pregnant and so emotionally had me over a barrel. I gave generously.”’”
Bedroom Ideas For Men – Wall Art: A Jaguar Drawing
The room is painted in a muted lavender shade, with a wooden bed frame and headboard. A plush gray bedspread covers the bed, and a white pillow rests against it.
On the right side of the bed, there’s a wooden nightstand with two drawers. Atop the nightstand, there’s a white vase holding a bouquet of greenery, a small white cup, and a book.
A framed black and white drawing of a prowling jaguar hangs on the bedroom wall, above the bed.
The room is illuminated by natural light coming from a window on the right.
“No not a leopard, it’s a jaguar. How do you tell the difference? Well, the easiest way is to look at the markings. Leopards have rosettes or rings of spots, where as Jaguars have dots within the rings.
I’ve yet to see a wild jaguar. This dramatic composition was pure luck. I was passing the enclosure in Singapore Zoo at snack time. The jaguar was about to leap into the water to grab a treat”
Bedroom Wall Art For Men: A White Rhino Pencil Drawing
The bedroom showcases a serene and minimalist design. A comfortable bed with a light grey upholstered headboard is adorned with white and grey pillows and blankets.
On the wall above the bed, there are two framed black and white wildlife art prints. The visible image features a photorealistic drawing of a white rhino in a natural setting.
Next to the bed, a small wooden side table holds a white vase with dried flowers and a glass bottle.
The room features a neutral color palette with white walls, a light brown woven rug, and soft, diffused natural light coming from a window partially covered by net curtains. The overall atmosphere is calm and inviting, blending modern and natural elements.
“This is a southern white rhino I saw in a large enclosure within the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. I’m not 100% sure but I think this lady was being acclimatized before being released.
She was certainly healthy enough and hopefully, I’ve managed to recreate a sense of the heat of the African sun as she sought some relief in the shade.”
Male Bedroom Wall Art Decor: A Lion Portrait
A cozy bedroom corner. A bed with white sheets and a gray pillow is positioned against a muted purple wall.
A framed black and white drawing of a proud male lion hangs above the bed.
To the right of the bed, there’s a white round table holding a vase with colorful flowers and a book. A window with white frames is situated to the right of the table, letting in natural light.
The floor is adorned with a patterned rug, and the overall ambiance of the room exudes calmness and serenity.
“A very superior lion is looking down his nose; it’s a classic pose and makes a striking image. I saw him in the lion park near Harare in Zimbabwe, he wasn’t wild but at least he was in Africa.
I managed to capture this moment because I was in the right place at the right time. There was a roar of another lion in the background and this guy’s head shot up in alarm. I caught the moment and this is the result.”
Wall Art For a Mans Bedroom: Elephant and Gorilla Drawings
A beautifully designed bedroom with a cozy and sophisticated ambiance. The bed features white sheets, complemented by a grey throw blanket and an assortment of pillows in neutral tones.
Above the bed, two framed black-and-white wildlife prints are displayed. The left print showcases an African elephant, while the right print features a silverback gorilla. A very masculine touch.
The room is well-lit with natural light streaming through airy curtains. Next to the window, there’s a large leafy plant adding a touch of greenery to the space. A wooden bedside table holds a small plant and a couple of other decorative items, enhancing the room’s natural and serene feel.
“I drew this elephant with the intention of moving away from the tight style I’ve adopted over the last decade. Photorealism is all well and good but a more ‘painterly’ approach has more movement and emotion.
This elephant was a rescued orphan finding a new life in the Sheldrick Trust near Nairobi, Kenya. They all return to the wild eventually”
10 Bedroom Wall Art Ideas For Men: Final Thoughts
Let’s be honest, men can be challenging to please when it comes to home decor, and these 10 bedroom wall art ideas for the men in your life are intended to spark your imagination.
Without wishing to over-egg the pudding, the animals featured in my drawings are inherently masculine in their symbolism.
Big cats, great apes, and stags exude strength, stability, and a certain wildness that resonates with many men.
They also appeal to the women in their lives, albeit that much of the symbolism is viewed as tongue-in-cheek.
