Wall Mural Ideas for Bedrooms

Painting a feature wall is fine. A mural is better — it fills the whole wall with something you actually chose, and because ours are peel-and-stick you can change your mind later without a decorator. Here is how to pick one for a bedroom, room by room and mood by mood.

Calm and restful: for a room you sleep in

The point of a bedroom is to wind down, so most people want the mural to recede rather than shout. What works:

• Misty forests in soft greens and greys — they add depth without a hard pattern
• Mountains and horizons in muted, faded tones
• Abstract washes — watercolour clouds, gentle gradients

Keep it behind the headboard so you are not looking at it while you fall asleep. Browse wall murals and filter for neutral tones.

Bold and dramatic: for a room you want to feel special

If the bedroom is more of a retreat than a crash pad, a darker mural makes it feel enveloping and hotel-like:

• Dark botanicals — deep green jungle leaves, moody florals on a charcoal ground
• Night skies and constellations
• Textured plaster or stone looks in a rich colour

Dark colours make a large room cosier and hide scuffs well. Put the mural on the wall you see when you walk in.

Small bedrooms: murals that make the room feel bigger

Contrary to the “paint it white” advice, the right mural can open a small room up:

• Scenes with depth and a horizon — a path leading into a forest, a view through trees — trick the eye into reading the wall as further away
• Pale, cool colours keep it airy
• Vertical elements like tree trunks draw the eye up and make the ceiling feel higher

Children's and teen bedrooms

Choose a theme with a long shelf life rather than a licensed character: space, dinosaurs, the ocean, a world map, mountains. Because the mural peels off cleanly you can restyle the room at age three, seven and twelve without touching the plaster. For the youngest rooms, our woodland wallpaper pairs with matching nursery wall stickers.

Guest rooms

A guest room is where you can be braver — you are not living with it every day. A striking botanical or a vintage map mural turns a spare room into “the nice room” for very little money.

How to measure and fit it

Measure the full width and height of the wall in centimetres, add about 5cm each way, and enter the numbers on the product page — the mural is printed to those dimensions. It hangs in panels with no paste; our step-by-step guide covers hanging and pattern matching.

Common questions

Can I put a mural up in a rented bedroom?
Yes — the peel-and-stick finish removes cleanly from sound painted walls, so it is deposit-safe in most rentals.

Will it damage the wall?
Not on fully-cured paint. Leave newly painted walls three to four weeks first.

How much does a bedroom mural cost?
Pricing is per square metre and shown as you enter your wall size. A standard bedroom feature wall is usually the cheapest way to change the whole feel of the room.

Can I get a custom size or my own image?
Yes — contact us before ordering.
