Why Bedroom Wall Art Matters
Wall art might be the last thing you put up, but it’s never just an afterthought.
With so many of us spending more time at home these days, making your bedroom feel cosy and stylish has never been more important. All over Ireland, from first-time buyers to renters in Dublin, more people are choosing premium wall art prints to give their space a real lift.
There is a simple reason behind it: the art you hang can influence how you feel.
- A bright abstract piece can energise you each morning
- A soft landscape print can calm you in the evening
- It is all about creating the vibe you want
Unlike painting the walls or buying a whole new bedroom set, swapping in some new bedroom wall prints is an easy, affordable way to refresh your space. No wonder younger generations, like Millennials and Gen Z, are becoming major art buyers.
They value convenience, personal expression, and decor that reflects who they are. Wall art lets you showcase your style and even your values, whether that is:
- A love of nature
- A passion for Irish culture
- An appreciation for modern design
Match Your Wall Art to Your Style
One person’s perfect bedroom art might be another’s no way! – and that’s okay. The key is to match your wall art to the style of your bedroom. Take a look around your room and note your furniture and colour scheme. Is your vibe clean and modern, or more classic and traditional? Here are a few pointers:
Modern Minimalist
maybe a hint of Scandi?
Pair that calm with black‑and‑white line drawings or cool geometric abstracts.
Classic or Traditional
Boho or Rustic Chic
Remember, these are just guidelines – mixing styles can create a unique look too. A modern abstract piece can sometimes be the perfect bold contrast in a largely traditional room, and vice versa. The goal is to choose art that you love and that feels harmonious with the rest of your decor. If you’re browsing Artspot and a print “speaks” to you, trust your gut! You can always find a way to make it work with your style by adjusting frames or placement. (And if you need some inspo, our site categories – like Nature & Landscape Prints or Abstract Art Prints – let you shop by theme.
Popular Bedroom Wall Art Ideas in Ireland
Let’s get into some popular themes and ideas. Tastes differ, but we’ve noticed a few trends among Artspot customers and Irish home décor enthusiasts. Here are some ideas to spark your imagination:
Nature-Inspired Prints
Modern Abstracts and Colour Pops
Vintage Charm & Travel Inspiration
Keep It Minimal (Calm and Collected)
Personal Touches
Custom lyric prints, hometown maps or family photos mixed with art create a gallery wall that’s unmistakably you.
Considering Colour and Mood
Soft greens, misty blues and warm neutrals echo Ireland’s landscape and help the mind rest. If you crave brighter hues, pick one accent colour in your art and repeat it in cushions or throws for balance.
Placement & Sizing Tips for Bedroom Prints
Hanging bedroom art can be just as important as which art you choose. One common mistake is picking a beautiful print but using the wrong size or placing it awkwardly. Let’s avoid that with a couple of quick tips:
- Above the bed: Aim for art that spans roughly two‑thirds of the headboard width.
- Eye level: Keep the centre of a piece at about 150 cm from the floor, or 20 cm above the headboard.
- Gallery walls: Lay frames on the floor first, or use paper templates to avoid extra nail holes.
- No‑drill options: Lean large frames on a dresser or prop a print on a floating shelf.
Quality Matters: Why Go Premium
Premium prints use archival inks and FSC‑certified paper, so colours stay vivid for years. Our prints are made to order in Ireland, framed, and ready to hang—no cracked glass or curled corners when they arrive.
Conclusion – Your Dream Bedroom Awaits
Fresh art is the easiest bedroom upgrade. Whether you lean towards tranquil nature scenes or punchy abstracts, the right piece will make you smile every morning. Fill that blank wall, pour yourself a Barry’s and enjoy decorating.

What kind of wall art looks good in a bedroom?
Choose art that reinforces calm—landscapes, botanicals, abstract line work and muted photography are perennial winners. Aim for colours already in your bedding or cushions so the room feels intentional. One large print above the headboard or a pair of balanced pieces keeps the look cohesive without crowding the space.
How do I choose a bedroom print that matches my décor?
First, note your room’s dominant style—modern, traditional, or boho. Match frame finishes to existing metal or wood tones, then echo one accent colour from your bedding or rug in the artwork. If you’re unsure, black-and-white prints are style-agnostic and always tie a room together.
How should I arrange multiple pictures or prints in my bedroom?
Treat the wall like a grid: keep 5 cm gaps between frames and align centres at eye level (about 150 cm from the floor). Above a bed, the total width of the grouping should be two-thirds the headboard width. Lay the arrangement on the floor first or use paper templates to test spacing.
Is it OK to use bold colors in bedroom wall art, or will it be too stimulating?
Bold colours work if you use them deliberately. Limit the palette to one standout hue, then repeat that colour in smaller accents—like a throw or lamp—to create harmony. If the art is very vivid, keep surrounding décor neutral so the bedroom remains restful rather than overwhelming.
Where can I buy quality bedroom prints in Ireland?
Look for Irish-made prints that use archival inks and FSC-certified paper. Artspot offers a curated bedroom-print range, framed or unframed, with free ROI and NI delivery. Buying locally means faster shipping, a lower carbon footprint and support for home-grown creatives.
Do I need to frame my prints, or can I hang them as they are?
Unframed posters work for a casual look, but framing protects against dust and warping and instantly elevates the art. Choose lightweight, ready-to-hang frames for rented spaces, or lean large framed pieces on a dresser if drilling isn’t an option.
