Play with shadows, overlays, textures

Bedroom walls are often plain and neutral-colored, but that doesn’t mean they have to be boring. Unique textures, overlays, and tones break the monotony of an otherwise plain wall. Limewash easily adds texture and depth, while two-toned paints add intrigue and nuance.

Hang intriguing textiles

Whoever said that only curtains add interest to a room? Hanging rugs are a great way to add visual interest to a plain wall. Add in a pop of color and texture to a neutral background or pick out a complementary piece to an already bold background. It’s perfect for a stylishly bohemian space or a contemporary classic bedroom wall design.

Add a pop of color

While white, beige, navy and mauve are common colors for your bedroom walls, adding a bold color is an easy way to instantly energize your room. A statement wall is a classic idea in interior design. Pair your bold color with statement wall ideas for your bedroom like metallic details and shelves for a snazzy, modern vibe.
