The bedroom is the one room where art should make you feel something quiet. Not challenged, not stimulated — just at ease. The right piece above a bed or on a feature wall can set the entire tone of the space.
Austin Bloom's bedroom-friendly prints lean toward softer palettes, gentle compositions, and subjects that bring calm without being bland. Think muted florals with depth, delicate botanicals, and landscapes with a sense of stillness. These aren't prints that shout — they're prints that breathe.

What Works Above a Bed?
The wall above your bed is the bedroom's natural focal point. Here's what to consider when choosing above bed wall art:
Scale matters. A single large print (80cm+) creates a calm, uncluttered statement. Horizontal wall art for bedroom spaces works particularly well above a headboard, mirroring the bed's proportions. For gallery wall arrangements, keep to 2–4 pieces to avoid visual busyness in a room meant for rest.
Palette matters more. Pastel wall art in soft blues, greens, greys and warm neutrals like blush, cream and soft amber tends to feel most restful. Avoid overly vibrant or high-contrast prints in the immediate sightline from your pillow.
Subject matters too. Florals, botanicals, and soft landscapes are bedroom classics for a reason. They're familiar enough to feel calming but interesting enough to hold your attention over years.

Canvas vs Cotton Rag for Bedrooms
CANVAS - Canvas prints can be framed by us, ready to hang, or unframed for custom framing. It works well in bedrooms with a modern, clean aesthetic — a refined floating frame, no glass, and the painting-like print on the wall.
COTTON RAG - Cotton rag has a smooth, matte finish that suits traditional or gallery-style interiors. Custom framing with a simple white mount adds a quiet sophistication that bedrooms suit well.
Both options use archival-grade inks for 75+ year colour stability. Canvas and cotton rag can be framed by us, or select unframed, designed for custom framing to match your interior.

Either works. Canvas prints arrive ready to hang and suit modern bedrooms. Cotton rag prints with a simple white frame and mount add a classic touch. The key is keeping it simple — ornate frames can feel too busy for a restful space.
Absolutely — dark florals and still life prints can create a cocooning, intimate atmosphere in bedrooms. The key is ensuring the overall palette feels warm rather than cold.
