Gallery walls have been a popular interior design choice for years. We typically see a gallery wall collection in spaces often used for entertaining such as living and dining rooms. However, you don’t have to limit this decorating technique to those spaces. Gallery walls are the perfect way of displaying pictures and art in the bedroom decor as well.
If you need inspiration for creating the perfect gallery wall arrangement in your bedroom, check out the ideas below.
A Wide Gallery Wall With Textured Prints
For a fun, eye-catching design, you can place art pieces with various patterns in a more spaced-out arrangement to cover a whole wall with visual texture. Choose paintings and sketches in a color palette that blends well with your existing decor for a sophisticated look with minimal effort.
This gallery wall provides a bold, geometric look with matching frames placed in a simple grid. The insect prints flow well with the overall style of the space by not only using shades that already exist in the room, but also bringing an earthy, natural feel that ties into the plant life, gentle greens, and soft wood tones.
Break away from the standard grid by arranging more abstract artwork in a slightly uneven way. This type of gallery wall pulls your eyes directly to it and draws attention to the prints themselves. In the process, it also showcases your creativity and strengthens the theme of the bedroom.
A Single Large Piece With Half and Quarter Size Pieces
Another slightly asymmetrical gallery wall, this design creates balance by using art that is half the size of the largest piece in addition to art that is half the size of those pieces. This collection provides a sense of stability by using negative space to fill the difference in sizes in a way that creates visual interest.
For a classic gallery wall on a smaller scale, choose photos or prints in sizes that act as stepping stones. This is arguably one of the most popular ways to display your collection. Gallery walls following this pattern are an easy way to create a more subtle arrangement of your hanging art.
Frames Placed on a Ledge Instead of Hung on the Wall
This is a fresh take on gallery walls perfect for a bedroom without much wall space or where hanging photos is otherwise not an option. By staggering the mix of black and white frames in this way, you can display each picture in a smaller area without minimizing their impact. This design also works well on a standalone shelf or other surface raised off the floor.
As we’ve seen so far, many gallery walls use art that is in a rectangular frame. However, you can create a gallery wall around a more square shape to match your own style. Simply hang your artwork in an off-center design that is often seen with rectangular framed art for a subtly unique take.
If you have two large prints you’d like to showcase alone, gallery walls are not out of the question. The black frames and white matting here contrast just enough to make the art stand out while the perpendicular placement allows the frames to fill the space.
If you prefer symmetry and have a collection of small art to hang, try a simple, evenly-spaced row of squares. The matching tones in the borders and the art itself flow well with the coloring of the furniture, walls, and linens in this bedroom. The addition of the wide matting allows for a bit more contrast, creating a bolder effect.
This bedroom features a high ceiling which lends itself well to creating a gallery wall with large artwork. This monochromatic room is complemented perfectly by large, abstract prints on an otherwise blank wall, filling the space without pulling away from the rest of the room.
This narrow room allows for a perfect gallery wall composed of a collection of bold art. This mix of shapes and contrasting colors creates an inspired style that allows you to match the bedding to the main tones in the art for a cohesive look.
Black, White, and Sepia Toned Prints in a Gallery Wall Arrangement against a Green Background
The high-contrast walls in this bedroom complement the wide range of neutral tones in the furniture, making it the ideal backdrop for a gallery wall with a matching color palette. Pair art with a similar theme to maintain the overall style.
Hang your collection of large artwork in a pseudo grid and work your way outward to create a stunning gallery wall that doubles as an accent wall. The incorporation of the lamp on each side of the bed allows functionality without cluttering the sage-green bedroom walls.
If you have an even number of pieces in similar sizes that you can’t quite find the right placement for, experiment with offsetting one piece to one side of the wall. This works best in an area that feels otherwise empty due to the location of furniture.
This gallery wall pulls in elements of a few different gallery wall ideas we’ve looked at previously to create a fresh take. The mix of matted and not-matted artwork, photos, and paintings, that all match the existing decor come together in a stunning gallery wall functioning as the main focal point of the bedroom.
A Wide Range of Frame and Mat Sizes Showcasing Photography
In a similar vein to the previous styling, this gallery wall combines a range of picture sizes, frame colors, and subject matter. The spacing between the artwork also differs, creating a sense of freedom and self-expression that is echoed in the pictures themselves.
Finally, this gallery wall consisting of black and white art is made all the more pronounced by the bold, dark wall and bedding. Not only does the darkness found in the artwork echo that of the decor and the dark grey bedroom walls, the white spaces connect to the brightness of the window area, tying the bedroom together in a natural way.
If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, there’s nothing quite as timeless as white shaker cabinets. This style and color are extremely versatile and offer an easy way to give your cooking space a classy refresh.
Although white shaker kitchen cabinets might seem boring at the outset, you can use them as inspiration to give your kitchen a gorgeous aesthetic. Read on for a list of the most inspiring white shaker kitchen ideas that will help you give this space a fresh new look you’ll enjoy for years to come.
Use Gold Hardware to Add Warmth

The cabinetry in this kitchen features various styles, contributing to its stylish aesthetic and overall functionality. Tall upper cabinets with clear glass doors provide a place for display and keep everyday items easily in view.

Even if your kitchen is small, incorporating light, neutral colors will help it to feel larger. The skylight in this space also allows natural light to come into the room, creating a bright and airy feel.
Although the design here has classic white cabinets, the overall feel of the room is modern and clean. Since this home has an open floor plan, the designer opted for light wood floors and coordinating colors on the furniture, area rug, and accessories to keep everything harmonious.

Dental crown molding below the kitchen ceiling adds lots of fun detail to this kitchen and is a perfect example of incorporating a mixture of old and new elements to create your dream kitchen.
An open wall space with a single shelf helps keep this kitchen open rather than feeling cluttered or too busy. The classic white color of the cabinet doors works well with the matching wall color, and a smattering of houseplants adds a nice organic element.
Selling white shaker cabinets to some homeowners can be difficult, but it’s a very easy way to make any kitchen look fresh and brand-new again. Here, the simple, clean lines and minimal use of color and accessories make the entire kitchen appear light and bright.
Rather than using stark white, these shaker kitchen cabinets have a slightly off-white, almost tan hue. The wall color is slightly lighter, but it’s not completely white, which gives the space a subtle two-toned look.
A white farmhouse sink adds country charm, and two small wall shelves between the upper cabinets and the support beam give the homeowner a place for storage or display. To the left, a large window allows natural sunlight to pour into the kitchen, creating an airy feel.

White isn’t just classic, it’s also an elegant color that pairs beautifully with touches of metallic, like the faucet and hardware here. The marble countertops look stunning atop the traditional white cabinetry.
A flowy white sheer curtain over the window brings a soft, wispy vibe to the space. A crystal chandelier delicately hangs overhead and ties the luxe, elegant theme together.
Mix and Match Textures for an Eclectic Kitchen Design
The white shaker cabinets are just one part of the overall design in this kitchen, but a myriad of other materials gives it a more eclectic look. Herringbone wood floors in a deep brown finish add warmth, and detailed ceiling molding brings the space an elegant vibe.
A white herringbone tile backsplash extends across both sides and looks beautiful against the light gray walls. The glass globe wall sconce matches perfectly with other touches of silver including on the cabinet hardware and faucet.

This is also a smart way to ensure the full layout is constructed exactly how you want it to be before work begins.
From the marbled countertops to the white subway tile backsplash and wide crown molding to the matching white wood floors, this kitchen is stunning in every way. Everything flows nicely, making the space look cohesive and thoughtfully put together.

If you love to cook or have a big household, add as many white shaker cabinets as possible. This kitchen features a large built-in section of cabinetry that goes around the refrigerator for more storage.
There are upper and lower cabinets here which also contribute to the space’s functionality. The dark wood floor helps to visually break up the space so the white isn’t too overwhelming.
Dress up Cabinet Doors of White Shaker Kitchen Cabinets

Industrial design undoubtedly evokes a unique look, but it might not be for everyone. Utilizing exposed brick as a bedroom feature can transform this space into one with the perfect splash of industrial chic.
Bricks can be a great use of material that’ll help give your home an urban vibe. Exposing only a section of the brick in the bedroom may be the way to go if you’re looking for a more subtle and modern bedroom design.
If you’re looking for fresh and modern home design concepts, check out the exposed brick bedroom ideas in the list below to give your sleeping space the perfect dose of subtle industrial style. With the right design, you can easily add a dynamic element to your bedroom without making too many drastic changes.
Use Just One Part of the Exposed Brick Wall
Your entire bedroom doesn’t have to be comprised of an exposed brick wall. In this space, only a small section of the drywall was cut out to expose the brick underneath. This makes the space feel warm and cozy while adding the perfect amount of barely-there industrial design.
Soft neutral colors on the wall and understated hues like beige on the bedding and headboard prevent it from becoming too dark and brooding. The white pendant lamp and the two white table lamps decorating the bedside tables stand out powerfully against the brick wall texture.
This modern bedroom has a brick wall on one side, while the other is painted a deep, dark blue. The use of color draws the eye toward the opposite side of the room and gives it a bold two-toned look.
A large window lets the natural light flow into the room, and artwork and accessories round out the design to bring it a pop of the homeowner’s personality. Painting the ceiling gives the space a lighter look overall as it balances out the dark tones.
A large brick wall doesn’t have to represent industrial design alone. The whitewashed brick wall in this space gives it a light, earthy vibe.
Natural and breezy textiles on the bedding, curtains, and area rug along with the paper light fixture and light brown wood floors tie everything together, creating a laid-back boho-chic retreat with a touch of rustic style that makes it a perfect place for relaxing at the end of a long day.
This unique bedroom design features a separate retaining wall with a large interior window that visually breaks up the space. You can still see the exposed brick wall behind it, so everything flows and remains cohesive.
The wooden beams were painted black to match the window frame color, which helps to give the room a classic industrial feel. Other black accents and a dark wood floor tie the entire theme together.
Instead of leaving a dark brick wall as-is, the designer here chose to paint the walls white. Not only does this make the space look and feel larger, but it also gives it a charming, calming aesthetic.
The use of white walls rather than raw brick transforms this space into a romantic bedroom accented with cozy linens and a light brown wood floor. If you want a more sanitized look, white is an excellent choice, but you can paint the brick in bright colors, too.
Although there is a section of exposed brick wall here, it doesn’t have the typical look you see in industrial spaces. A large framed glass window serves as a room divider to help the room feel more open, and a mixture of styles makes this space the true definition of an eclectic bedroom.
The use of live houseplants, clear acrylic accent tables, playful patterns on textiles, and modern furniture work well together which gives the bedroom a fun, funky feel infused with personality.
Brick can add a warm, inviting element to any room like the one shown in this design. Although the walls on either side of the bed are made of drywall, the exposed brick at the end of the room gives it a subtle, cozy touch.
Since the brick wall is at the far end of the room, it immediately becomes the focal point. A tall bookcase against the wall and a nightstand on either side of the bed topped with table lamps give this small bedroom a ton of functionality, too. White walls and ceilings give it a fresh, clean feel that makes the exposed brick wall stand out even better.
Blend Brick with Other Materials for a True Industrial Style
This contemporary bedroom boasts two different materials on the wall: brick and limewash. Using just a sliver of exposed brick next to the dark gray limewash wall instantly makes it look industrial.
Not every brick wall bedroom has to feature brick alone. Using these two materials next to each other is a great way to add more texture and interest. If you don’t want to use grey limewash, you can work with other tones for a similar contrast.
In this bedroom, pieces of the drywall were strategically “ripped” away to show the exposed brick underneath. Not only does this add visual interest to the room, but it also gives it a splash of bold artistic flair.
The designer chose to leave some of the drywall on the opposite side of the window. This technique helps the two materials work together to create contrast, while the ragged edges that expose the brick wall bring it a dynamic finishing touch.
Place the Bed on the Opposite Side of the Brick Wall
Most people tend to place the bed directly against the exposed brick wall, but here, the designer chose to do the opposite. Putting the bed against the drywall completely changes the look of the space.
The owners of this home also added a single hook to the brick wall side, providing a convenient place to hang a piece of clothing, a cozy robe, towels, or even art and decor. Since this bedroom is fairly small, mounting large mirrors on the wall is a smart and easy way to make it feel more open and spacious.
In this studio apartment bedroom, the only area with exposed brick walls is the small cubby area cut out to create a cozy place for the bed. This is an excellent option if you have an open floor plan like the one shown here.
The use of brick delineates the difference between the sleeping area and the rest of the home, and it also helps if you’re into eclectic designs that incorporate a mixture of materials, colors, textures, and styles. Using more understated hues on the walls softens up the brick and helps it to fit in the space rather than take away from it.
This awesome attic bedroom has it all, including a large skylight, wooden beams, and a large brick wall. Instead of covering the brick, the homeowner opted to leave it alone. The white floor helps to keep this cozy bedroom feeling a bit more open and airy.
Although drywall was used here, a shiplap ceiling could also give it a cozy, intimate vibe. Adding a large mirror above the dresser or on the wall in small spaces like this one helps to reflect the light, which also gives it a much brighter and more open feel.
Sometimes, a brick wall bedroom can end up feeling much too dark and dreary. By using light colors or basic white on the walls, you can design a space that feels much more soothing and inviting.
Wooden furniture and a tall tree in the corner bring this cozy bedroom a feeling of natural warmth that doesn’t take too much away from the brick as the main feature. Since the section of the brick wall is so large, you could also add a gallery wall here to incorporate some of your favorite personal pieces.

Although this space is a small galley-style kitchen, the pastel blue cabinets help to give it a light, airy feel. Rather than choosing a darker shade like navy blue cabinets, these light blue cabinets do wonders to bring the kitchen a brighter and more open vibe.

The sky blue color in this kitchen helps it to evoke a cheerful, lighthearted look. Not only did the designer add blue kitchen cabinets and shelves, but they also chose blue for the charming subway tile backsplash.

The gold accents in this kitchen go beautifully with the light blue cabinets, although gold also looks stunning with all shades of blue cabinets as well. The use of metallic gold hardware helps it stand out dramatically against the light blue kitchen cabinets in this space.
Subtle, natural elements like the wood herringbone floors and medium brown wood mid-century modern dining furniture ground the space to help keep it from looking too glam. The height of the kitchen cabinetry makes the implementation of the light blues even more impressive.
For this design, only one section of the kitchen cabinets is painted blue for a delightfully sweet shade-inspired touch. A high-end oven and luxurious quartz countertops lend this cooking space a luxe, refined look.
Oversized dental molding in the kitchen adds drama, while a simple wall shelf replaces upper cabinets to help keep the kitchen open and airy.
