Want to create something magical for your child? Take a look at these bedroom wall art ideas and let your imagination take flight.
Go large with a mural
If you’re not afraid to think big with your wall art, this wonderful example shows how a floor-to-ceiling mural can take a plain white bedroom from minimal to magical.
While a bespoke painting like this might not always be an option, a similar effect could be created with a large-print illustration wallpaper wrapped around two or more walls.

Pepper with polka dots
A simple and inexpensive way to decorate a large expanse of plain wall is to use small wall stickers and repeat them regularly across the space.
There are two ways to approach this: either in neatly measured rows for soothing accuracy, or in a random pattern, like this, to create a more relaxed, scattered effect. Polka dots, stars or small triangles would all work well.

Conjure a starry night
This is a relatively straightforward decorating idea, but one that has a magical effect. By painting a feature wall in midnight blue and adding tiny white stars and a crescent moon, the designer has created a deeply soothing mood and set the stage for night-time.
The addition of a string of fairy lights around the bed frame creates a little evening illumination. A similar effect could be created by using glow-in-the-dark stars, as these would then continue to twinkle soothingly when the lights are turned out.

Frame a bed
Don’t just think of wall art as a final touch in a room scheme. If considered at an early stage, it can actually help to zone the space and shape the way it’s used.
Here, two mountains have been painted behind the bed, marking out this corner of the room as a sleep space. A similar effect could also be used to mark out a play area, study area or reading corner, for example.

Contemplate a peaceful view
While bright patterns and cheerful colours work well in a playroom or younger child’s room, wall art in calm and soothing shades might be more suitable for an older child.
This mural is a clever way to decorate the back wall of the cubby-bed, creating the effect of a landscape beyond, and the misty blues and greens mark out the space as a calm and soothing place to unwind and sleep.

Decorate with light
Planning your wall art at the same time as your lighting scheme can also pay off, as this example shows.
Halfway between wall art and wall lighting, these fun arrow and lightning bolt fittings add personality and warmth to the room, as well as providing an atmospheric glow when the overhead light isn’t needed.
These are plugged into a wall socket, but if you don’t want to have loose flexes in a child’s bedroom, look for battery-operated designs.

Make your own wall hanging
For a soft dash of colour in a child’s room, a textural wall hanging like this is pretty, colourful and relatively easy to make yourself.
Choose three or five complementary shades of thick wool. Knot them onto a piece of dowel or a wooden batten in thick stripes of colour, then trim the ends to a sharp finish to create a bespoke piece of art.
If you have older children, this might be something you could make together.
