If you’re a renter who’s not allowed to make any permanent changes to your apartment, you can still spruce up the space without putting holes in the walls. Wall art, especially large pieces or collages, are an excellent way to draw attention to your favorite part of the room and make it feel more comfortable and lived-in. Here are five ideas for wall art that will take your bedroom from boring to beautiful.
Don’t Overlook Bathrooms
If you’re looking for ideas on how to spruce up your bedroom, start with your bathrooms. A small change like a new shower curtain can totally revamp and freshen up a space. Adding art in unusual places (like above mirrors) also works well as an attention-grabber. And, if it isn’t out of character for your space, adding wall sconces is also a great way to add some interest and light to a room.
Let There Be Light
Wall art should play a large role in your bedroom’s look and feel. Start with one of these lighthearted wall art ideas to bring a bit of character and personality into your space, while adding an element of visual interest. The idea is to make your room as visually appealing as possible so that you are more likely to get up and start moving! A few suggestions include:
Make a Statement with Colour
Bright, fun colours are perfect for adding interest and dimension to a room. Why not go bold with a colour like mint green or choose something a little more subtle with pastel shades of purple or pink? This is one design element you don’t have to be afraid of. Just make sure your colour choice complements your existing décor and doesn’t clash! If you’re just getting started, stick with neutral tones until you get used to how each colour plays off another.
Go Big, Bold and Bright
Size doesn’t matter when it comes to wall art—just scale things up. Take a big piece of art that makes a statement, or create one yourself with an oversized canvas and bold, expressive colors. If you can see it from across your room, it’s doing its job! You might have some WOW factor in play here. It won’t hurt your bedroom design efforts if it does.
Get Familiar With Borderless Prints
Like large canvases, borderless art prints are excellent additions to big empty walls. What’s different is that they work especially well with high-contrast color combinations—like black and white or complementary colors like red and green—and they also serve as a fun alternative for artwork that might feel out of place in other rooms of your home.
