Stylish Modern Wall Art: 11 Bedroom Ideas

Want to turn your bedroom into a peaceful retreat? I believe my modern wall art can do just that. It brings a cozy, contemporary vibe to your bedroom space. If you like minimalist prints you’ll appreciate my wildlife drawings.

Whatever your personal tastes may be, the right wall art decor can change your bedroom into a homely space.

If you are finding it difficult the perfect pictures, let me me put a few wall art ideas in front of you. I think black and white wall art is the way to go. It compliments any color scheme and style.

I’ll show you what I mean. Let’s crack on.

N.B. These are my own drawings. They are NOT AI-generated. I have placed them within mockups for inspiration purposes.

Bedroom Wall Art Inspiration

Creating a cozy and serene bedroom is the whole idea. You need some wall art inspiration and in my admittedly biased opinion, you can’t go wrong with monochrome artwork.

In my case, I have drawn a selection of popular wildlife subjects. Choose your favorite animal and go from there

Create a Calm and Cozy Bedroom

To make your bedroom peaceful, pick art that brings calmness. Choose soft colors and scenes from nature. Try out different types of framed animal prints to find what suits you best.

This ‘teal’ color is a sophisticated, subdued shade that sits between blue and green, with a grayish undertone that gives it a calming, mature quality.

In interior design, this color is often used in the following ways:

1. Wall color: It can create a serene, spa-like atmosphere in bathrooms or bedrooms.
2. Accent walls: Used to add depth and interest to a room without overwhelming the space.
3. Accessories: In throw-pillows, curtains, or area rugs to complement neutral color schemes.

This versatile color pairs well with warm woods, crisp whites, and soft grays. It can create a balanced, tranquil environment and is often used in coastal or nature-inspired design schemes.

Strong Images For a Neutral Bedroom Color Scheme

Incorporating strong black-and-white images into a neutral bedroom scheme adds sophistication and visual interest without disrupting the calm atmosphere.

Black and white artwork creates a timeless, elegant look that’s easy to coordinate with various neutral tones in bedding and furniture. An easy win

This color is a neutral shade that’s very close to white but with a slight gray tint. It’s a subtle, understated color that might be described as:

• Off-white
• Pale stone
• Light concrete
• Soft dove gray

This shade is often used in interior design for a clean, modern look, or as a neutral background color in graphic design. It’s subtle enough to work well with many other colors without drawing too much attention to itself.

A lion in the bedroom? Why not. Lions are iconic emblematic animals in many cultures. They embody strength, courage, and nobility. I called this drawing ‘Head of the Family’ and it’s often bought as a ‘Dad’ present. Tongue-in-cheek no doubt.

Choose Art to Match Your Interiors

When picking bedroom wall art, think about how it fits with your room’s look. Find art that matches your room’s colors and style. This way, your space will look unified and show off your personal style.
