Thanks to the original design of the wall above the bed in the bedroom, you can completely transform the interior of this room with its specifics.
Let's start with simple solutions. There is no need to renovate your entire bedroom. It is enough to decorate one wall above the bed and we will achieve the desired effect. Thanks to the non-standard design of the front panel, you can completely change the interior design of the room. And the bed will remain the same.
For example, decorating a wall with tiles will fill the bedroom with a unique atmosphere.
What is the reason for choosing the wall behind the front wall and not others? To begin with, it should be said that this is the only surface that a person does not see before going to bed. In this case, no matter what design you choose for such a wall, you can easily fall asleep and wake up without worrying about an unexpected image in front of your eyes. Further, it should be noted that the design of such a wall is subconsciously perceived as an extension of the bed.
For modest and simple bedroom furniture and on a small budget, the originality of the wall behind the front wall will distract from ineffective furniture. So what can be used as wall decoration, besides traditional wallpaper? This material gives ideas for decorating the wall above the bed in the bedroom.
Tile
The tiles are quite suitable as wall decoration in the bedroom. Before using it as decoration, it is necessary to prepare an infrared warm wall covering in the form of foil insulation, the heating parts of which are laminated with special electrical polyethylene or polyester. This design protects against electrical failure. The foil becomes sealed and waterproof. Used as main and additional heating.
Recently, variegated mixtures have been considered a fashionable trend in design. Companies that produce tiles also produce such sets. They are available both commercially and in the form of panels or regular monochrome collections.
Material safety
When choosing panels from any material, always ask the seller for a quality certificate for the material.
In the accompanying documentation for each type of panel, the manufacturer must indicate the degree of flammability, toxicity, flammability and smoke generation. These parameters are indicated in the form of coefficients from 1 to 4. The lower the coefficient, the better the quality of the product.
Wood paneling
When choosing this option for wall decoration, you can choose one of the types of finishes:
- They use antique and distressed lifeboats, similar to those seen in Indonesian boat docks or barns.
- Photo wallpaper with an original design that will highlight the wall is also suitable.
In the first case, you will have to pay a lot, but you will get a noble design, and in the second, a cheap and easy-to-use design.
Soft panels
If the walls in your bedroom are cold and it is a corner room, then they need to be insulated with soft textile panels, which are mounted on a “sandwich” of sound-insulating three-layer materials, consisting of two sheets of solid metal, PVC, fiberboard or magnesite and a layer of insulation between them. There is virtually no street noise entering your bedroom.
MDF
MDF panels are made from compressed wood chips, which are specially treated with antiseptic substances.
The material is quite affordable, meets environmental standards and meets the technical requirements of finishing. It is often used as a basis for further painting or painting.
Repainting can be replaced by installation
If you're not a fan of active wall design, don't paint your walls right away. Add a little white and you'll balance out the overall tension. There's a powerful theory behind this wall decoration. For example, a new cube can be glued during the day. This way, over time, you will achieve an individual design solution in your bedroom.
There should be no decorations on the wall. In this case, it can also have an attractive appearance.
The old housing stock in some way plays into the hands of apartment owners who do not want to decorate the walls in the bedrooms. Otherwise, it can be said that the plaster has been knocked out and the old brick has been cleaned to achieve this purpose. If you find an inconvenient “native” color, cover the wall with white water-based paint.
What materials are wall panels made from?

The service life of the panels, their safety, level of flammability, flexibility, and color retention depend on the raw materials used in production. Natural wood is the safest and most useful material. Glass is also a priority, but it is much more expensive, although it has unusual aesthetic qualities.
The remaining materials are a complex of compounds on a wooden or plastic base, mixed together and prepared using auxiliary raw materials.
Natural wood

What types of wood are recommended to choose:
- alder;
- maple;
- oak;
- cedar;
- bamboo.
Slat and slab panels made of wood are common. They look calm and harmonious, especially in a wooden house. It is recommended to finish the floor and walls with materials similar in tone. You can also find wooden mosaics on sale, but they are usually expensive.
Veneered Boiserie wall panels are an excellent solution for creating an expensive, chic bedroom interior.
Bumboo is more typical of oriental style. During production, real mats are used, which are rolled by hand and then impregnated with an adhesive composition for fixation.
Canfor is a type of wooden mosaic panels that imitate natural stone.

Chipboard

Chipboard is wood shavings. Waste left over from other work. Natural wood is collected in the form of small particles, crushed repeatedly to obtain a homogeneous mass, then pressed and processed. The main component is the adhesive mass, which creates a durable canvas.
The main advantage of the material is its low price. The buyer benefits from the fact that he bought a natural canvas, but at the same time he retains the opportunity to save.
Advantages of chipboard:
- many colors;
- different panel sizes;
- wide choice of textures;
- Surfaces can be easily leveled.
Disadvantages of chipboard:
- the material deteriorates at high humidity;
- glue can produce fumes that are harmful to health;
- heavy weight, which complicates the work and sets some restrictions.
Chipboard is a good alternative between favorable price and practicality.
Fiberboard

Wood fibers are pressed in furnaces heated to enormous temperatures. Natural purity and modern technology - this is about fiberboard.
Fixation can be carried out using glue or lathing made of wood or metal. The surface should not be wet, dirty, or have large depressions or bulges. Minor cracks and internal defects are acceptable.
Picture above the bed
Another way to decorate the bedroom wall above the bed and take your mind off the annoying surface is to place a picture, which can also get boring after a while, but in this case it can be easily replaced with a new one. This is much easier than wallpapering or restoring lining. Bright paintings on the wall above the bed match the bedspread. This contrast makes the interior of the room complete.
In this photographic example, the images add character to the room.
The simplest and most effective solution for finishing the wall above the bed is a contrasting arrangement of polyurethane or plaster on its forming section. In this case, the decoration will take on a classic look. The wall will become a full-fledged element of the interior.
Arrangement of paintings into a coherent plot
Pictures can be hung not only in a chaotic order and with different dissimilar subjects, but also with the same style and in a certain order.
- Nowadays, many people purchase special similar paintings for their home via the Internet, which are hung in direct proportion and depict a specific theme.
- For example, if your interior style is calm and warm, order a composition of paintings depicting nature, the ocean, or a forest. If your interior style is made in bright, catchy colors, then order a composition with an image of active recreation, it could be hiking, mountains or an image of a noisy metropolis.
If you decide to hang photos, hang them in rows for a neat and uncluttered look.
Wall decoration with moldings

Looking for a simple pattern to decorate the wall above your bed? The best solution in this case would be a chevron. This pattern is quite easy to make. It will be discreet and fashionable. To do this, you need to take masking tape and glue strips of a suitable color.
Geometric shape ornament
Residents of our country, born in Soviet times, will notice that carpets on the walls are an anachronism. But it is not so. Modern products are very attractive, and when sitting on the bed, it will be more pleasant for your bare back to rest on a soft bedspread rather than on “cold” wallpaper.
Soft panels all over the bedroom wall
An all padded wall is a slightly more expensive option, but very impressive. Here, as in the first case, there are two possibilities. The first is to use these elements right from the beginning of the floor. The second is to use panels from the level where the sleeping bed ends.
Such a soft wall not only looks great, but is also very pleasant to the touch. This makes it a great addition not only to a standard bedroom, but also to a nursery. If you use these panels, you don't have to worry about your little one falling while playing. However, in this form fewer decorative elements are used, which means they are cheaper.

Plant accent
For those who love indoor plants, there is an option to place them in your bedroom and liven it up. Some people don’t like paintings, as if they feel like they are in an art gallery, or they don’t like hanging paintings, for them a simple and harmonious solution would be to fill the wall with plants.
It will look very unusual, and inside you will have a pleasant feeling as if you are in nature.
Photo panels or 3D panels
One of the most common options for decorating the wall above the bed in the bedroom. But they lose their appeal if the painting covers the bed. Before you buy photo wallpaper, you should decide on the height of the front wall. In this case, the walls can be finished by specialists who will print the panels to exact dimensions. To do this, they only need to provide the desired image.
Other decor ideas
In addition to classic wall design options, there are also more risky, experimental ways to organize space.
Among them there are both universal options that can be used in any interior, and highly specialized decor suitable for certain styles.
Photo panels and 3D panels
This is a type of wall panels. Relief panels with a 3D effect when decorating a bedroom have both a decorative effect and great functional meaning. Most of these panels are characterized by the presence of high noise and heat insulation indicators.
At the same time, a significant number of materials and available finishes make it possible to choose the appropriate effect for styling any room in accordance with the available budget.
Three-dimensional images can be convex, flat, or abstract. They allow you to create the most realistic imitations of other materials, which makes it possible to decorate the interior in a unique style.
Photo panels are another modern option for decorating a work area. They are characterized by a number of advantages over wall panels or tiles due to the large number of decorative patterns, as well as high performance properties.
Moldings
This is not just a covering, but an overlay part that is attached on top of the main finishing material. This option is well suited for decorating a bedroom, as the material is quite delicate and aesthetically pleasing. In addition, such finishing will not be expensive, despite the fact that molding can create a truly original design.
Based on the color and decorative materials used, the moldings are adapted to the style of the interior. In light colors the material is distinguished by restraint and simplicity, while in dark colors it looks more majestic and serious.
The main advantages of moldings include:
- lightness of the material - due to its low weight, the molding is easy to install and deliver. To fix it, a regular adhesive composition is suitable;
- ease of installation - the entire installation consists of measurements, marking and direct application of the molding to the wall;
- strength and moisture resistance are achieved through the use of modern materials.
Frescoes
This is a decorative element that represents one of the wall painting techniques. Its peculiarity is that it works on raw plaster, which allows you to create a unique design in the interior.
To decorate your bedroom, you can use photo wallpaper that imitates frescoes.

Graffiti
This is a modern and bright solution that looks bold in the interior. Graffiti can set the tone for a room, emphasizing the non-standard layout and hiding existing wall imperfections.
Creating real graffiti is a long and painstaking job that can require large expenses. Therefore, the easiest way is to purchase wallpaper that imitates street art.
Design installations
Professional designers often add various objects created according to unique drawings to the bedroom to realize your wildest fantasies. They can be figured mirrors, plank headboards, original shelves made in the shape of trees.
Unique decor adds personality to the space, but it is important not to overdo it, otherwise the art object will look out of place.
Niches and plasterboard structures
Drywall is a universal finishing material that is used in interior design.
It is considered relatively inexpensive, and at the same time allows you to create unique interior solutions due to various geometric designs.
In addition, it has a great functional purpose, which consists in the ability to level any surfaces.
Drywall is a material that can be given convex and concave roundness, create a wavy surface, and form rounded arches.
Using drywall in the area above the bed, you can create artificial niches and other design structures.
Arch
One of the varieties of plasterboard decor, which is popular in modern interiors. This element is formed in the form of an artificial niche, which gives the design of the bed area more privacy.
The arch goes well with hidden lighting. This design solution adds unusual, complex architecture to the bedroom.
Artistic painting and drawings
Space decoration option for creative people. A unique pattern will be a real decoration of the bedroom, emphasizing the features of the interior and complementing its design.
Canopy or textile decoration
Decorating a bedroom headboard with fabric is a common design solution that brings softness, coziness and warmth to the room. This design option is well suited for both adult rooms and children's bedrooms.
When decorating, you can also use curtains - they will add romanticism to the interior. This can be a light veil or heavy curtains. They can be changed according to your mood or depending on the time of year.
Textile decor above the bed can add lightness, air, light to the room, or, on the contrary, create a feeling of isolation and privacy.
Garland
A win-win decorative element, characterized by a wide variety of design options. The garland can consist of lanterns, balls, have lighting, etc. All elements can be arranged in the interior of a modern bedroom, placing them on the wall in a chaotic manner or in accordance with a certain structure.
Keep in mind that the garland accumulates dust, which can have a negative impact on the well-being of allergy sufferers.
Handmade
If you have developed needlework skills, you can start creating decor for the over-bed area yourself. Paintings, panels, dream catchers, etc. can serve as handmade items. All this will help add originality to the room and reflect the individual characteristics of its owner.
Photo wallpaper
The main danger of such a design is creative chaos. Not everyone is able to list different frame formats in a harmonious combination. But if you install a hanging pattern, the “internal filling” will fade into the background. In this case, even a child’s drawing or illustrations from comics can be framed.
Framework
A good example of a photo gallery above the bed
Pictures stacked on a shelf are also a popular option for wall decoration.
This option is only suitable if the bed is too close to the wall. But curtains will be appropriate if there is no window near the bed. You can change them constantly, depending on your mood.
Designer secrets: tricks and mistakes when placing panels
Like any strong visual element, 3D panels require thoughtful design. An unusual material or eye-catching surface relief immediately attracts attention and becomes the dominant feature of the interior, so it is important to think through everything down to the smallest detail: style, location and technical aspects.
Bedroom interior in natural colors
Accent wall
Most often, designers use them to decorate one accent wall, while for others choosing a neutral option, such as light plaster. If you plan to decorate entire planes with panels, it is better to choose a neutral relief option or classic wood imitations.
There is no point in decorating a wall with 3D panels and then cluttering it with cabinets and other large furniture. Find in advance such an arrangement of objects so that the accent surface is clearly visible from the main angles.
Bright style in the bedroom interior
Important: 3D panels in the room automatically become the focal point. Other design delights are often not needed in such an interior.
In the bedroom, the accent wall is usually placed behind the head of the bed. This allows you to focus the composition on the main thing (and in the bedroom this is always the bed), and the bright design does not interfere with falling asleep and does not distract attention. Additional sound insulation in the head area is an important bonus. If you want to admire the relief pattern while lying in bed, the option of mounting the opposite wall is also acceptable.
Options for wall panels for a classic style bedroom
Electrics
Another common mistake: installing electrical wiring without taking into account wall panels. Make sure in advance that sockets, sconce outlets and switches will not disturb the relief pattern, do not fall on the joints and will not spoil the overall impression.
3D wall panels for a calm interior
For example, if the switch is located at a standard distance of 900 mm from the floor, and the height of the classic panel is 1200 mm and is decorated with carved panels, the socket may fall into the technical joint of the plates and the switch will have to be moved. In order not to re-drill the wall, the decision on the choice of furniture and finishing option should be made at the very early stage of the rough renovation. Then there will be no electrical difficulties.
Stylistics
The good news: 3D panels can be selected for any interior style. The bad: it is important not to get confused in the variety of choices and choose exactly what will create a harmonious image of the space, because this detail of the furnishings is done for a long time.
A bedroom in the style of modern minimalism will be refreshed by a white abstract relief with smooth waves or a clear geometry of the pattern.
3D wall panels for a bold bedroom interior
Important: natural stone panels with internal lighting look luxurious in almost any setting. However, this option can hardly be called widely available.
To create a classic interior or country aesthetics, imitation of traditional stucco or more laconic wooden options are suitable. Don’t try to choose the most elaborate relief; sometimes straight panels are enough. Don’t be afraid to experiment with color: wood-effect panels can be safely painted in rich shades from deep wine tones to dark blue and emerald green.
3D panels with unobtrusive decor for the bedroom
Curtains
A canopy will add romance to your bedroom.
If the original brickwork is missing and you want to decorate your loft-style bedroom with newfangled tiles in the “brick” version, you can ruin the overall design of the room. Better yet, have a little fun and use your airbrush to come up with something creative.
Important aspects
Before you go to the store to buy panels, you need to clarify several important parameters:
- Indoor ceiling height;
- The area of the site that will be finished with panels;
- Condition of the walls. This determines how thin and light the panels should be.
- Degree of illumination. In a dark bedroom you cannot install panels of dark, saturated colors.
It is also important to think in advance about the style in which the bedroom will be decorated. For example, 3D PVC panels will fit perfectly into a high-tech style, but will completely ruin an interior in a minimalist or Eastern style.
Graffiti
The easiest way is to apply the template to a painted wall. If the wall is monochrome, the pattern should be contrasting and the pattern proportional. Attach it to the wall using spray adhesive. It should fit well and not leave streaks.
PVC
The most popular and affordable ones today are plastic ones. A huge range of models, various colors, a variety of shapes, patterns and sizes allow you to choose PVC panels.
But you shouldn’t rush, since you can’t forget about the harmful effects of all kinds of impurities and compounds. This can happen when heated, and then the fumes from the plastic will cause irritation to the eyes and respiratory organs.
Design solutions

These can be elements of nature, animals, patterns.

As well as inscriptions made manually or using special stickers.
