Purpose of the painting
The painting decorates the interior and that’s the end? In fact, themed decor can be used for different purposes:
- Creating a focal point of attraction to distract from everyday simplicity;
- Correction of space - if the picture is large, and the decoration spoils the shape of the room (in particular, we are talking about dark, striped or chaotic finishing materials);
- Masking defects and hidden places;
- Decorative lighting – if the painting is digital or supplemented with LED devices.
The main thing is that thematic decor should occupy no more than 30% of one wall. By breaking this rule, even the best paintings for the bedroom look too bulky and therefore become redundant. Of course, no one excluded such trends as avant-garde and grunge. But when decorating a bedroom, they are the exception rather than the norm.
Which painting to choose for the bedroom: suitable style
The bedroom is used for relaxation, and paintings placed in it should not interfere with comfortable rest. Fast-paced scenes, bright colors, or disturbing shapes can negatively impact your sleep quality. On the other hand, if you hang bedroom pictures above the bed, you simply won’t be able to see them while you’re relaxing. Hence the conclusion: if you want to enjoy art in the room yourself, then you need to place the painting on the opposite wall from the bed.
Another important issue is whether paintings and graphics match the style of the bedroom interior. Use ready-made tips:
- A Scandinavian-style bedroom will appeal to modest, muted tones as well as nature-inspired themes.
- Classic elegance? Inspiration from classical art and bedroom paintings in decorative frames are welcome.
- Modern style most often goes hand in hand with newfangled art.
- If you are designing a glamorous bedroom, you can choose black and white photographs and graphics. Frequent preferences are images of movie and show business stars of yesteryear. After all, the glamorous style originated in the circle of Hollywood influence.
- An eco-style room welcomes images related to wildlife. Plunge into the world of nature.
Choosing a painting for the bedroom
How many pictures, so many opinions. You can listen to every thought only to a certain extent, so as not to deny your preferences: the bedroom should first of all please its users. However, not everyone among the latter is familiar with the breadth of parameters that help one navigate the world of paintings:
- Location;
- Plot;
- Form;
- Dimensions;
- Quantity;
- Painting material;
- Product composition;
- Frame.
The more points are rejected, the higher the risk of an unsuccessful choice of painting in the interior of the bedroom or any other room in general. Therefore, each point must be considered separately.
Paintings and posters in the bedroom above the bed
What size paintings and posters are best for the bedroom?
An important role when choosing posters and paintings for the bedroom interior is played by their size and shape. Thanks to the right canvas for decorating the wall above the bed, you can achieve interesting visual effects and create harmony in the interior.
For the bedroom interior, it is optimal to choose large and medium-sized paintings. This could be a large, wide painting that will make the wall appear larger. If you use a long panoramic poster, it will visually expand the space. And the use of a vertical canvas will increase the height of the walls.
If you want to use several paintings, then you can take two similar in theme and style and hang them on the wall above the bed symmetrically relative to the width of the bed. It is best to hang pictures at eye level so that they do not distort the space in any way and are always visible.
If you want to use several small posters for interior decoration, then it is best to place them in one solid composition. The distance from one canvas to another should be the same so that not a single element stands out from the overall order.
Modular paintings in the bedroom interior
Modular paintings are especially popular. Such canvases, as a rule, are one solid image, which is divided into several segments. But sometimes it also happens that each part of the picture is a separate work, but united by one theme, style and color scheme.
Basically, above the bed in the bedroom it is appropriate to hang a modular picture consisting of 2-4 parts, no more. However, you can often see modular paintings with a large number of segments.
When choosing a modular painting for the bedroom interior, special attention should be paid to the style and theme of the image. The painting should become part of the interior and not stand out from the overall composition.
Another advantage of using modular paintings above the bed in the bedroom is the ability to experiment with the placement of parts of the image to create a visual effect. Parts of a modular picture can be located on the same line horizontally, or, if it is a vertical canvas, one above the other. The picture can be hung with a “ladder”, where each part of the entire canvas is at a different level. But, nevertheless, the distance from one part of the picture to another should always be the same.
Placement of the painting in the bedroom
If the target audience does not know in advance where to hang the picture, the thematic choice will be unsuccessful by default. This is explained by the fact that the painting will be bought only because of the plot you like. Of course, such a plot can always be hung somewhere.
The question is, how suitable is such a picture (subject, size, shape) for the bedroom? Therefore, it is first recommended to decide on the location. And since the bedroom is not the largest room, there are not many places for paintings:
- Near the entrance;
- In the center - opposite the bed;
- Side;
- Above the head of the bed.
Do not confuse bedroom paintings above the bed with a stretch ceiling in the form of a 3D canvas. In the first case, the painting is hung above the head of the bed, which, on the one hand, successfully completes the interior, and on the other hand, makes the painting itself invisible to guests.
Therefore, the plot can be hung in and “entrance” options are more suitable for completing an interior that is already equipped with furniture. Moreover, paintings near the entrance or on the side often serve as hiding places for secret places.
Feng Shui rules for placing a painting in the bedroom
The teaching of Feng Shui obliges us to divide space into zones and puts forward special requirements for the theme of interior items and their placement. It is recommended to place paintings in the bedroom only on one wall. More than three decorations should not be installed. A single plot must certainly be traced on the canvases. It is not advisable to place other wall decorations or even small shelves with accessories.
Advice. The teaching allows you to select several paintings that have a similar single motif; in this case, negative energy will not emanate from them.
It is recommended to place paintings in the bedroom only on one wall.
The interior will look organic if you place the paintings in certain areas:
- Wall by the bed. This is the best option. It will visually highlight the main part of the room. But the headboard of the bed should not be too high.
- The wall opposite the bed. The goal must be taken into account here. If the picture is intended to help you fall asleep as quickly as possible, then you can choose a relaxing picture. If you need it for a quick and cheerful morning awakening, then a poster with dynamic components would be appropriate.
- Pictures above the bedside tables should hang on both sides of the bed and be small in size. Their topics are chosen to be the same. Most often, vertical paintings are purchased to visually change the ceiling level.
- It is not advisable to place paintings on other walls near tall furniture: the plot may be lost.
If the bedroom has an unusual layout, for example, there is a niche, then you can mount a wall decoration in it. But in this case, you need to carefully consider the lighting.

You must definitely like the images; a repulsive look will irritate and spoil the aura of the space. According to ancient teachings, only positive images are permissible.
Philosophical teaching does not recommend decorating the bedroom interior with insects. You should also avoid panels with dried herbs or flowers, since they have lifeless energy.

Abstract paintings should create a positive emotional mood, but it is better to abandon them altogether.
Panels created using yellow amber are considered especially auspicious. This natural stone will bring positive and sunny energy into the bedroom.

If you like hieroglyphs, then you need to find out their meaning. Each of them is responsible for activating a certain type of energy. Active signs will easily lead to restless sleep or conflicts. You should pay attention to the accuracy of the drawn hieroglyphs. In a distorted form, they are capable of creating unexpected manifestations.
Drawing painting for bedroom
Knowing the place where the picture will be hung, it is easier to decide on the plot itself. Although the choice of the latter largely depends on the style of the interior:
- Classic – landscape, nude, animal painting;
- Neoclassical - abstraction, cubism, surrealism, impressionism,
- Modern – expressionism, abstraction, cubism.
It is worth noting the possibility of transforming classical performances into abstraction and cubism. In particular, we are talking about straight and colorful trees, animals and even people. It is not without reason that such trends as Art Deco and fusion were born. Here is the answer to the question of what kind of painting should be in the bedroom if its interior is modern. Even a multi-colored informal portrait would suit this style.

What paintings should not be hung in the bedroom?
You probably think that we will now write a list: you can’t do this, this and this) No, we won’t do that. Take a look on the Internet and see what is not recommended to place in the bedroom. It’s especially fun to read when the list is compiled in categorical terms) Well, that’s all “you can’t”!
Shall we figure it out?
Does everyone agree that the bedroom is a private space and we don’t invite guests there? Accordingly, everything in your bedroom is hidden from outside eyes. Even if you absolutely love the painting with peonies from the street fair on Krymsky Val, no one will judge you - no one) This is the first argument in favor of not establishing any restrictive requirements for paintings in the bedroom.
Secondly, if a stranger advises you not to place red or purple in your bedroom, is this person’s opinion very important to you? What will happen? Will the world turn upside down? If you like the color red and want to use it as an accent in a painting, why not?
Perhaps the most important thing in setting some restrictions in terms of paintings in the bedroom is your emotional and psychological characteristics. If your psychotype is inclined to choose calm colors and calm subjects, you shouldn’t force yourself and choose something active. Choose calm color combinations, choose kind, emotionally positive scenes.
And vice versa, if your psychotype is an explosion, a volcano, you are a bully or a leader - a calm haven is not for you. You and your home need shockingness, you need color, you need contrasts! Why limit yourself?
In general, friends, listen to yourself! This is your most reliable advisor.
Shape of the painting in the bedroom
This indicator is often overlooked due to the proliferation of rectangular and square paintings. But are these win-win solutions true if the bedroom is located inside the attic and has a round window, or if the bedroom area is no more than 6 square meters, which must be somehow completed in an original way without visual overload? Such difficult conditions prompt the use of:
- Round paintings;
- Modular plots made up of triangular segments.
On the other hand, round paintings are more suitable for classic portraits, and modular compositions of three or five triangular segments look original, but are not always advantageous. The conclusion suggests itself: the shape of the picture matters, but not so significant as to move on to extraordinary solutions.
And don’t forget about the level of the picture’s location and how it affects visualization: vertical subjects optimize the height of the space, horizontal ones – the width.
Accordingly, vertical rectangular paintings are suitable for decoration with vertical stripes and patterns, horizontal ones - with horizontal ones. Neutral finishes include single-color, checkered and chaotic designs.
Where to hang a picture in the bedroom?
We will not just list the locations where paintings can be placed, but also talk about our experience, because we work in the “Gallery will come to your home” format and we see where our clients place paintings.
Paintings in the bedroom above the bed
The picture above the bed is the most common location for the bedroom. This is most likely due to the fact that the head of the bed is rarely very high. And with a low headboard, a lot of free space is created above the bed, which you want to decorate with something. And yes! - painting!
Sometimes our clients express concerns about the painting hanging overhead (or maybe falling at night). But we'll talk about this later.
In the meantime, we will give advice on the size of the paintings and the height at which it is best to place them.
A common mistake in terms of size is choosing a painting that is too small. There is a rule we call “3/4” (three quarters) that helps us determine the ideal size of a painting.
It works like this: measure the width of the head of the bed. Let's say the width is 180cm. And we calculate ¾ of this length (180x3/4= 135). This means that the ideal width for the painting above this bed is 135cm.
As for the height at which it is better to hang pictures. There are no strict rules. But we will give a museum guide. When you and I come to an art museum and look at paintings, we do not pay attention to how they are hung and at what height. However, all these rules are spelled out in museum nomenclature documents. The general idea is that the center of the picture should be approximately at eye level (157-158 cm from floor level). Please note that we are talking specifically about the center of the picture, and not about the lower or upper edge.
This rule should be taken into account as a guideline. Since in a living space there may be various factors (structural, aesthetic, etc.) that affect the change in this height. For example, if there is a doorway next to the headboard, then you want to hang the picture so that the top edge of the picture is approximately at the same level as the top frame of the door. Usually it looks harmonious indoors. In this case, the center of the picture can be either higher or lower than the “correct” point. It's not scary.
Examples of placing paintings above the bed:
Paintings in the bedroom opposite the bed
Let's tell you a secret - this is our favorite location in the bedroom to place a painting! Why? Because this means that people are abandoning the TV in the bedroom and dedicating this room only to relaxation. This is an example to follow! And it’s true - let the TV be in the living room, in the dining room, in the office, anywhere! And there will be silence in the bedroom)
As a rule, initially, when ordering a design project for a house or apartment, a TV is still provided for in the bedroom. Therefore, in the wall opposite the bed there are sockets and a cabinet or chest of drawers for the TV. Often - a niche for a TV or simply a visually designated area for these purposes.
In terms of choosing the size of the painting, you can do the following: vertical or square paintings will look better here. However, if the cabinet or chest of drawers is very wide, then it is better to choose a horizontal picture. In terms of size, remember the “3/4” rule, measure the width of the cabinet and calculate the approximate size of the painting.
If you have already purchased a cabinet or chest of drawers, then you can simply place the painting on this cabinet, leaning it against the wall. This composition looks very good. But if you wish, of course, you can hang the picture on the wall as usual.
Examples of paintings opposite the bed:
Paintings above the chest of drawers in the bedroom
Paintings are rarely placed above the chest of drawers in the bedroom (or above the dressing table); more often there is a mirror there. But still, this is also a good option. The placement rules are the same as in the previous case. The only difference is that the chest of drawers is usually much higher than the TV stand. Accordingly, the picture will be located higher.
In the same way, the picture can simply be placed on the chest of drawers, leaning against the wall, without additional fasteners.
Examples:
Paintings on the wall in the bedroom
Well, the last option that we will consider for the bedroom is placement on the wall, not tied to any furniture. Most often, the connection in this case is carried out to the structural elements of the room. What could it be: a partition between two windows or just a wall near the window; a side wall near the bed (when the picture is hung not above the headboard, but on the side wall), a wide structural protrusion of the wall in the room (for example, if the dressing room is designed in this way), an empty wall near the doorway.
Let us repeat - all these cases are united by the fact that the painting is not tied to any piece of furniture. How to decide on the size in this case? If we have a narrow wall, it’s easier here - we apply the “3/4” rule (measure the width of the wall, multiply by ¾, get the width of the picture). And if the wall is really narrow, we choose a vertical picture.
It’s more difficult if we have a large empty wall with absolutely no furniture. Here we suggest starting from the area of the bedroom. If the bedroom is very large, then you can consider options with a painting width of both 2 and 3 meters. Such a large picture will look great precisely because there is somewhere to step back to see the whole picture. If the room is small, it is better not to choose paintings of this scale. The average size for such cases is approximately 100x120cm.
Painting material
Until the 17th century, painting was done with oil paints and a simple pencil. Now the list of thematic consumables has expanded significantly, and you need to choose each of them, guided by the following points:
- Style – modern and neutral trends welcome bright paintings done in acrylic oil or pencil graphics, while in classic interiors you can use subjects painted in watercolor, gouache, oil and acrylic;
- Luxury - the respectability of a plot largely depends on the quality of its execution, but do not forget that oil painting is always at a premium;
- Durability - acrylic paint is the most wear-resistant, second place goes to oil, gouache and watercolor fade over time, are easily subject to mechanical damage, and also wear out from high humidity.
To make paintings on the bedroom wall last longer, they can be ordered varnished or laminated. The last option is suitable for modular designs. The subframe can also be covered with mineral or organic (plastic) glass. The mineral version breaks, but does not become scratched at the slightest contact with another object. Organic glass has the opposite effect.
Oil paintings in the bedroom: which styles are best to focus on?
When choosing paintings for the bedroom wall, experts advise paying attention to paintings in the following styles:
1. Traditional classics. This is conservative painting, that is, realistic landscapes, still lifes and portraits
2. Neoclassical. Interior painting in this style has been in great demand in the last decade. The main distinctive features of the paintings:
• Predominance of warm, pastel shades
• Symmetry
• Light classic shapes
• Elegance and restraint
This is the best choice for a bedroom interior, but you should avoid paintings made in the direction of academic realism.
3. Provence.
These are canvases depicting villages, flowering gardens, and forests. An excellent choice would be paintings with a simple plot, minimal gloss, framed in a baguette
with scuffs and an aged effect.
4. Loft. When choosing paintings for a loft bedroom, focus on brutal paintings in contrasting shades. The loft style has much in common with the industrial style, so canvases depicting various mechanisms can be a good option for the bedroom
5. Minimalism. Canvases in this style are characterized by laconicism, absence of small details, and geometry. A good option is canvases depicting a dark or bright object on a light background.
6. High-tech. Oil paintings in this style are characterized by the presence of many straight lines and the absence of bends. Objects are usually depicted in cold colors - gray, blue, black
The main rule is to listen to yourself. An oil painting, first of all, should please you and be in harmony with the interior of the room.
Electronic paintings
Electronic models deserve special attention. These gadgets come in different sizes and, depending on the amount of internal memory, can delight you with a certain number of different scenes. Moreover, the scenes themselves (waterfall, fire, rain) can come to life and be accompanied by characteristic sounds.
Therefore, if the question on the agenda is which painting to hang in the bedroom so that it does not get boring and is visible day and night, then electronic backlit paintings are the best solution. They operate on mains power or a built-in battery, and have remote or manual control.

The relevance of picture frames
The picture can be framed only if the interior and the plot themselves are classic. By default, modular paintings cannot be completed with a frame, because There must be empty space between modules.
Now about the frame itself. It comes in different types depending on certain criteria:
- Profile – narrow, medium, thick;
- Composition – wood, plastic, chipboard material, metal;
- Artistic execution - patterned, multi-colored, with imitation of the texture of different materials.
The frame should not take up much space in the painting so that the image remains large. The corresponding rule can only be broken when using antique paintings, which are unlikely to suit a modern bedroom.
The default drawing on the paper sheet welcomes the frame. Otherwise it will be impossible to hang it on the wall.
And the last thing worth remembering is weight. The frame directly affects the weight of the painting. The weight itself influences the choice of fasteners. The question arises, which paintings to hang in the bedroom if they, together with the frame, weigh more than 1.5 kg.
Answer: the picture should please the user of the bedroom and suit the interior of the room accordingly. If the thematic product is heavy, then alloy dowels or screws with a diameter of at least 6 mm must be embedded into the wall. Moreover, it is better to have two dowels. They must be mounted at the same height. Lightweight paintings (vertical and without a frame) are greeted by one 4-6 mm screw, pre-threaded into a wooden cap.
The frame may have fasteners with holes for wall bolt caps or lacing. The latter must be shortened to the required size so that the picture does not sag. Also, the lacing should be strong - thick and with many turns. At worst, it can be replaced with a steel chain.
Basic Principles You Should Know
Professional designers have identified general principles on the basis of which the correct placement of modular paintings in the bedroom is based. There are few such principles, so remembering them is not difficult.
So:
If the bedroom is small, there is no need to decorate it with too large paintings.
You should not place modular paintings at the head of the bed. This creates a certain feeling of tension, harms sleep and reduces the quality of functioning of the central nervous system.
By using small canvases you can visually add volume to your bedroom. You can create this kind of “optical illusion” using modular paintings.
For this purpose, horizontally located fragments are suitable, preferably narrow ones. For example, landscape images perfectly visually enlarge small spaces.
In this regard, it is recommended to purchase marine themes (landscapes), evening sunsets, views or images that seem to be receding towards the horizon.
Such themes, in their mood, are most suitable for a bedroom, a place to sleep and relax.
You should not buy modular paintings depicting erupting volcanoes, wild animals, and so on.
In addition, under no circumstances should you take paintings with asymmetrical shapes. Subsequently, all this will generally have a negative impact on psychological well-being.
Selected recommendations
Modern models of electronic paintings can depict a clock dial, and also serve as climate control equipment - an air humidifier or air conditioner.
Previously it was believed that an odd number of paintings had a better psychological effect than an even number. However, changing the shape of fragments of one plot makes the plot itself original. Therefore, a quadroptych of four paintings of different sizes is quite an advantageous design for a modern bedroom.
Instead of creating a niche in the wall for a safe or hiding place, it is enough to use a cardboard sheet of frame to place securities and money under it. The classic interior in the Gothic style welcomes stained glass paintings.
Inside a bedroom that does not have a window, by default a large picture, a group of modules or an electronic equivalent should be hung. The latter option best demonstrates the vibrant panorama that the interior and users lack.

Choosing a painting for interior decoration
Minimalism
The interior in the minimalist style is characterized by uniformity of color, simple forms of furniture, a minimum of details and a large amount of free space. The painting should be the same: muted, calm tones and an abstract or geometric image. There should not be an abundance of details and color.
Classic
Classic is still relevant now because it is a style that is out of fashion. You can choose a modular painting-reproduction of a masterpiece of world painting or simply a still life, landscape, portrait in the style of classicism, baroque and impressionism.
Oriental
This style combines the interior features of oriental peoples. The paintings traditionally depict ornaments, religious and everyday motifs, nature and animals.
High tech
High-tech style promotes the aesthetics of modern materials: metal, glass and plastic. Therefore, it is better to decorate such an interior with real works of modern art: paintings using or depicting these materials.
Modern
Art Nouveau style is distinguished by smooth and whimsical forms, as well as stylized floral patterns. Subjects can be standard: animalism, still lifes, portraits and landscapes. The main thing is the focus on ornamentation and decorativeness.
Painting in a Provence style bedroom
Modular paintings for a bedroom in the Provence style should be chosen taking into account the gentle, lyrical mood of this style. The leading motifs here are lavender and rose. Images of landscapes, idyllic pictures of French villages, still lifes, bouquets made in muted pastel colors of soft lilac, pink, cream, transparent blue are suitable. Images of fancy curlicues, letters and other symbols in the form of intricate inscriptions and signs are also appropriate. The size of the modules can be small, and their number can be two or more. The shape of the modules can also be different - rhombuses, squares and other polygons. Provence is a design paradise in which decor takes pride of place, and therefore tastefully arranged painting modules will only enhance its romantic charm.
Important. A bedroom is not an art gallery, and the role of a modular image here is still secondary, indirect. Canvases are designed to play a significant role in the stylistic orchestra, but not to dominate other participants in the interior.
Subjects of the paintings
Now we will take a closer look at which painting subjects are most suitable as gifts.
Flowers
Universal composition – still life with flowers. They can be presented in different genres - from abstraction to impressionism, from retro to hyperrealism. Each of these destinations conveys its own unique atmosphere.
Portrait art
Does the lady not like still lifes? Then order her portrait. You send the artist one of your favorite photos of a girl (maybe a child’s photo). After 7-14 days you receive the finished work. The period may vary up or down, depending on the volume and complexity of the work.
One of the most trendy and timeless options is a pencil portrait. It looks stylish and laconic.
Portraits are also performed:
- oil paints. Popular are portraits made using the classical technique (brush), as well as a palette knife - a special spatula for applying paint (the work is expressive and multifaceted);
- in pop art style. A striking representative of the genre is the famous portrait of Marilyn Monroe performed by Andy Warhol;
- in the image. You can choose a historical figure (duchess, empress, actress) or a mythical figure (heroine of fairy tales, goddess of Greek legends). The girl will receive a portrait of herself in the image of the famous character as a gift.
Story from life
A good idea is a composition associated with nostalgic memories. This could be a landscape of the house where the girl spent her childhood, an image of her favorite pet, etc. She will be very grateful for the warm emotions given.
Picture-symbol
Give a composition that has a special meaning that connects you and the girl. This could be the landscape of the country/city where you spent time together or where you met. An interesting and unique option is a painting with a subtext that has a special symbolic meaning for the two of you.
Scenery
The calming landscape will appeal to the lady if she loves nature in all its picturesque manifestations.
Other options
A girl’s hobbies will tell a lot about her preferences:
- if a girl is interested in music, give her a portrait of her favorite musician;
- a movie buff girl will be delighted with a picture related to her favorite film or actor/director;
- a lady interested in technology will like steampunk (a genre depicting the mechanisms of inventions of the 18th and 19th centuries against the backdrop of fictional worlds).
The role of modular paintings in the bedroom
You can use modular paintings in the bedroom interior to solve different problems. Such a stylistic touch can modify or complement the decor in the room. Stylish modules, combined into a single ensemble, play the role of an art object that serves as an aesthetic filler for the entire interior. Segmented images add personality to a room's design. Picture modules solve the problem of a “bare” wall, occupying a fairly large area. The correct selection of themes, styles and colors will help create an emotionally complete, visually harmonious and stylistically complete interior.
How to place them in the interior
Nowadays there are a lot of advertisements about modular paintings.
Rave reviews, sales, discounts...
Is everything so clear?
Indeed, they can decorate any bedroom, but only those chosen with love, because they were liked, because they were made with high quality and taste, and not just because they are fashionable.
When buying modular paintings for the bedroom, look at the color, shape, and plot. And be sure to consider the style of decoration of the room, so that our purchase is a thematic continuation of the interior, fits harmoniously into the room, taking into account all its features - size, purpose, furniture, wallpaper.
Are there general principles according to which modular paintings should be placed in the bedroom?
If the bedroom is small, you should not decorate it with giant canvases. With the help of small paintings, the bedroom can be visually enlarged.
Of course, this can be done using modular paintings. For this, a horizontal arrangement of fragments is suitable, preferably not wide.
For example, landscape views help to visually enlarge a small space. Mountain landscapes, seascapes, sunsets, images stretching towards the horizon are suitable. These themes and mood are closest to the purpose of the bedroom - a room for sleeping and relaxing.
Modular paintings can be placed at the head of the bed, above the sofa, above the dressing table.
There are no mandatory rules.
This is your room, your lifestyle, and you decide where to hang the picture if you are doing the decoration yourself, or agree or disagree with the designer if this work is done by a specialist.
There are some rules, but sometimes they deviate from them:
- it is believed that the picture should have an odd number of modules;
- the fragments should not be too small;
- it is better if the picture is narrower than the headboard or other furniture above which it hangs;
- For the bedroom, calm tones are more suitable - beige, green.
Modular paintings will effectively complement your bedroom, becoming its central decorative element, the main design solution that attracts attention.
The plot and its concept
In addition to the correct color scheme, you need to carefully consider the theme of the image. The motif of a painting in a bedroom interior should not evoke exciting, disturbing emotions. It’s best if it evokes pleasant, relaxing thoughts that will perfectly help you fall asleep or give you energy in the morning.
Paintings depicting nature go well with different design solutions. A vase with a bouquet, a field of flowers or a calm sea will delight the eye. In addition, the color palette can be chosen to suit every taste, because nature is all the different colors of our world. This also includes animals, photos of pets.
Photos with city landscapes are well suited for urban or futuristic room decoration using stylish paintings for the bedroom. A large number of buildings depicted will create the illusion of expanded space, allowing you to visually increase the size of the bedroom.

Which is better: split system or air conditioning.
For classical or baroque style, you can use frescoes. Pastel and gentle colors will set you in a calm mood, distracting from negative emotions.
If the painting has a strong emphasis on a certain color that stands out from the overall design of the room, focus on the small details of the interior of the same color. These can be pillows, vases, table lamps.
Harmony of bedroom interior style and image theme
In general, the words “harmony” and “compatibility” are the main ones in the selection of a modular picture for the bedroom. This is especially important when it comes to matching the theme of the chosen image and the bedroom design. It is clear that pastoral scenes will look like a misunderstanding in a high-tech style bedroom, and a stylized pop art poster will look like a Provence interior. Surely everyone has their own internal barometer, which allows them to find the right harmony between the interior of the room and the plot on the canvas. But still, we will give some guidelines based on popular bedroom design styles.

Painting in an oriental style bedroom
Wall paintings in an oriental style interior are the rising sun, birds on tree branches, cherry blossoms, snow-capped mountain peaks, mysterious hieroglyphs. The images are made in delicate shades of pink, peach, cream with contrasting strokes of black. The clear rectangular shapes of the modules will emphasize the laconicism and symmetry of the oriental interior. In modern Japanese minimalism, a photograph of Asian skyscrapers, stylized as a monochrome engraving, would look interesting.
