Looking to spruce up your bedroom without spending a fortune? With simple materials and a little creativity, you can transform your space into a cozy and stylish retreat that reflects your personality and feels updated. These easy DIY bedroom wall art ideas are perfect for novice crafters, beginning painters, those just dipping their toes into interior design, or those of us who need a cold-weather project to pass the long nights. Let’s find your next masterpiece!
Choosing the Right DIY Bedroom Wall Art
More than any other room in the house, your bedroom is a reflection of your personality. It’s literally your personal space, and outside of those living in your household, few will ever even see it. For that reason, your bedroom art should be pieces that you LOVE, pieces that make you feel relaxed, inspired, and comfortable.
That being said, there’s no right or wrong style to go with. Choose whatever you like, but do think about the aura the artwork evokes. Ask yourself how it makes you feel, and if you want to feel that way every time you enter your sleeping chamber.
Trendy DIY Bedroom Wall Art Ideas
The following pieces are an eclectic collection. I’ve tried to choose something for every taste and vary the mediums used as well. Here are just a few DIY bedroom wall art ideas that might hit the nail on the head!
1. Macrame Wall Hanging

Macrame wall hangings add a cozy touch to any room. Their unique textures and designs bring warmth and character, perfect for making a space feel more inviting. They are a quintessential element of Bohemian style and are often paired with neutral colors, warm woods, and plant life.
Obviously, you’ll need to either know how to know macrame, or you’ll need a few YouTube tutorials to pull this one off. It might take a little time, but it’s easier than it looks, and the final effect is more than worth the effort!
2. Nature-Inspired Botanical Prints

If learning a new fine motor skill is too much for you at the moment, you can still get that natural, neutral flow with a collection of botanicals. Botanical prints bring a touch of nature indoors, adding vintage charm to any room. Their light and airy touch is the perfect accent for a bedroom.
There are several ways that you could achieve this look. Talk a walk and snap some photos of wildflowers near your home or at your local botanical garden and frame them. Pick actual flowers, dry them, and press them on acid-free paper. Arrange and press artificial flowers from your favorite craft store, or if you’re handy with a brush, grab some flat canvases and create your own with paint. The options are endless.
Pro Tip: If you want to create a moodier and more romantic botanical theme, consider painting your canvases or mattes black before adding the flowers!

3. Geometric Painted Canvas

For some of you, a clean, modern space feels the most comfortable. If that’s you, then consider simple MCM furniture, bright white walls, and a fun graphic centerpiece above your bed! Being the only splash of color in a space draws all eyes to the focal point of your room.
The best aspect of this DIY bedroom wall art idea is that graphic paintings on a large scale are not difficult to make. You could do a pour painting, a drip or splatter painting, or strategically tape off a few shapes on a canvas with painter’s tape and color in the shapes.
The most important part of this DIY project is making sure that your shapes are proportional and create an appealing form before you start painting. Take some time to think it out, sketch it, or use a design app to perfect it, then paint. Since this piece will be commanding most of the attention in the room, you also want to think long and hard about your color palette!
4. Framed Fabric Panels

Framed fabric panels can be a fun way to add some flair to your space. They bring color and texture, making any room feel more inviting. Plus, they’re a great conversation starter! Using fabric as wall art is one of my favorite DIY budget hacks. You can often find fabric remnants at Hobby Lobby or Walmart for a few dollars or less!
The collage above has created unity by framing the fabric swatches in thick black frames. For a more eclectic look, you could use whatever photo frames you have lying around or can pick up for cheap at garage sales or vintage shops. If you are handy with a chop saw, you can also make simple wooden box frames out of 2×2 boards from your local big box store and wrap them with the fabric for a cost-efficient fix.
Pro Tip: When mixing and matching fabrics, you want to unify your collection with either color or shape. The designer above has stuck to a clear color palette to achieve cohesiveness. You could vary your colors more but use a repeating pattern or shape instead. These collages tend to look best if you use a mix of bold patterns and some softer solids to ground them.
5. Simple Canvas Art with Watercolors

Watercolor art is a fantastic way to bring a touch of nature into your home. The soft hues and gentle strokes create a calming vibe, perfect for any space, especially a bedroom. Watercolor is also one of the cheapest and some say easiest mediums to work with.
Pro Tip: When working with watercolors, start light, and build your way up to the darker more intense colors. It takes time. You must stop, let it dry often, and work in sections.

6. Repurposed Wooden Palette Art

If you’re a scrap wood hoarder like me, then this Southwestern, rustic, piece is calling your name! The mishmash of shapes and colors gives it a well-used feel, yet it appears modern and clean at the same time. These palette or scrap wood pieces are easy to make. You need some wood glue, a chop saw, and a nail gun (or an electric screwdriver).
Pro Tip: You will need to build a rectangular frame to attach the boards to and to hang the piece. I usually build mine out of 1×2 boards from the local big box and cover it with a sheet of 1/4-inch plywood or particle board. It will make the piece heavy, but it’s the easiest way to ensure your work is solid, and it hangs evenly on the wall.
If you own your home, and you know the piece will be in place for a long time, you can just use an electric nail gun, shooting finishing nails at varying angles, to attach the pieces directly to the wall
7. Texture Texture Texture

For some truly mesmerizing DIY bedroom wall art, go 3D! The inspiration has used a series of flattened, colored baskets. However, you could use records, an assortment of hats, wooden blocks, quilting rings, or styrofoam wrapped in fabric. Stack them, pile them, overlap them in any way you like, and when you get sick of it…take them down and rearrange them for a whole new look!
