Blue is the most restful colour you can build a bedroom around, which is why it turns up over more beds than any other. The work is picking the right shade for the light and keeping the room calm. Get that right and one piece sets the whole mood.
Blue is the most restful colour you can put in a bedroom, which is why it shows up there more than anywhere else. Softer sky and powder blues feel airy and help a room wind down, while deep navy and indigo read as cosy and grounding after dark. Royal and cobalt sit in between for a richer look. Compare tones in the full blue wall art range, or navy for the calmest deep blues.
Above the bed is the natural home for blue bedroom wall art. Centre one larger piece, or hang a pair to match the width of the bed, with the bottom edge about 8 to 10 inches above the headboard. A dresser or reading nook is the next-best wall. Browse everything made for the bedroom.
Calm blues suit a bedroom best. An ocean scene or a soft figure sets a restful tone over the bed.
A bedroom is for winding down, so favour calm scenes and fewer, larger pieces over a busy gallery. Ocean and sky scenes, soft abstracts, and quiet animal portraits all suit the room. Pair blue with cream, grey, pale wood, and a little brass to keep it inviting rather than cold. Blue also layers well with earth tones for a softer scheme.
Calm water, a soft floral, an abstract, or a single animal in blue all work over a bed. Avoid anything too busy or high-contrast directly above where you sleep. For more options, see the wider coastal range or the deep navy blue edit.
Mix a deeper blue with a lighter one, or keep to one calm piece above the headboard.
