Lookbook: Cool-Hued Wallpapers for Calming Bedrooms

Whether designing a bedroom from scratch or simply freshening up an existing space, wallpaper can play a big role in giving the room personality and setting the tone. If you’re going for a cool, calming bedroom oasis, wallpapers in cool colors are a great option! You can choose whether to use the wallpaper for an accent wall with coordinating paint colors or wrap the entire room in wallpaper. Below, check out six bedroom design ideas featuring wallpaper and murals. (Bonus: these can all be printed on either classic paper or peel and stick wallpaper depending on your DIY style!)

Climbing Hydrangea

This cool, subdued wallpaper offers a botanical take on stripes, featuring illustrative hydrangeas that climb the wall on softly painted vines. The twilight color palette features hints of chartreuse, lending a gentle glow to some of the leaves. This nighttime garden is perfect for falling asleep to, and pairs well with periwinkle sheets, dried flowers, and vintage-inspired accents.

Areca Palm

This oversized tropical wallpaper design is anything but overwhelming, thanks to its tone-on-tone palette and easygoing brushstrokes. Minimal yet eye-catching, Areca Palm loves its fellow houseplants and plenty of fresh sunshine. Style this wallpaper with natural wood tones and off-white sheets for a breezy, beachy vibe.

Sediment

Take a page out of the hotel designers’ book and try a mural behind the headboard– our Sediment mural by Jill Malek adds a mountain of drama in a minimal way. This repeating mural can wrap around the entire room or make a statement on just one accent wall. Either way, we love to style it with soft, light neutrals and transitional style, modern farmhouse-inspired furniture.

Vista 2

Our Vista 2 mural also repeats, allowing it to easily immerse your space in its painterly landscape or provide a stellar accent wall. What better way to create a serene bedroom oasis than with an abstract, hand-painted, watercolor landscape? Rich, jewel-toned eggplant hues are balanced out by lighter grays and beiges to create a mural that’s surprisingly versatile. Here, we’ve paired it with light neutrals in a variety of textures and thrown in accent pillows in a coordinating hue.

Chiaroscuro

If you’re looking for a romantic, feminine wallpaper, Chiaroscuro offers the perfect dramatic floral. These frothy, ethereal blooms are ready to dress up your walls and provide the backdrop to your next romance novel, breakfast in bed, or mirror selfies. This wallpaper pairs well with a variety of furniture styles, and here we’ve styled it with a tufted headboard and simple bed linens to let the walls take center stage.

Wall of Sound

Dark, moody, and dramatic, our Wall of Sound mural adds a punk touch to any space. Unexpected splashes of purple give this mural a playful vibe, and the life-size speakers create an interesting trompe l’oleil effect on the wall. Balance out this statement-making mural with furniture and light fixtures in clean lines and a limited, coordinating palette; LED feature lighting and a concert poster or two would also feel right at home.

We hope you’ve found some inspiration for your next bedroom decorating project! Whether you’re going for minimal or dramatic (or a little bit of both), wallpaper can be the perfect decor item to make your space feel more like you. Happy decorating!
