Emphasize the Fifth Wall

While the ceiling may not technically be considered a wall, many designers view it as an extension of a space and dream up ideas for it accordingly. In this Maine lake house by designer Nicola Manganello, raw wood planking on the ceiling adds visual interest and calls attention to its interesting angles.

Mount a Sculpture

Patterns and bright colors bring this bedroom designed by Kelly Hohla to life. The metallic accents really pop, especially when it comes to the brutalist brᴀss sculpture hung above the bed. It acts as the perfect balance to the whimsical and slightly feminine wallpaper covering the rest of the space.

Mount Some Antlers

H๏τ take: Antlers can be surprisingly versatile—they can skew rustic, hip, or even glam (yes, seriously), all depending on how you style them. Choose a metallic version and pair them with jewel tones or opt for something with a vintage charm, as Heidi Caillier did in this eclectic bedroom.

Rethink Art Placement

Rather than hanging one statement piece of art above your bed, consider a more unique placement to up the visual interest in your space. Here, interior designer Tamsin Johnson stacked two small pieces in the corner and then hung one large abstract painting on the adjacent wall, bringing a modern and hip edge to the space.

Spice Up the Millwork

In this monochromatic blush pink bedroom designed by Shapeless Studio, decorative wall moldings add a touch of European character without throwing off the understated tone of the space. To keep the room from feeling too precious or formal, the rest of the bedroom was kept minimalistic, with little in the way of excess linens or artwork.

Sometimes, finding the right piece for your space can be a fruitless effort. The only solution? Creating it yourself, like designer Leanne Ford did here. “I had an old canvas lying around forever and couldn’t bring myself to throw it away because I always loved the creme color of it. One day I just nailed it to the wall, called one of my favorite artist friends, Alexandra Gracik, and asked her to come over with her charcoal to draw whatever the heck she wanted,” Ford says of the ensuing mountain scene.

Bold yet timeless, this jaw-dropping bedroom designed by Brian J. McCarthy is serious goals. For a similar effect, stick to a тιԍнт two-color story, coating the walls in a show-stopping super high-gloss paint, like the cherry red seen here. “This finish feels fresh for a guest room, and the surprising pop of color is both warm and chic,” McCarthy says.

Bedrooms, just like any other space, can always benefit from an extra bit of storage. In this room by designer Katie Lyndon, a H๏τ air balloon wallcovering brings a sense of dreaminess, while a wall of built-in shelves doubles as a “headboard” and adds a spot to display favorite trinkets and reads.

Hang a Single Statement Piece

You don’t need to clutter your walls with art. A single, medium-to-large-sized piece above the bed, console, or fireplace—as is the case in this master bedroom designed by Arent & Pyke—is just as impactful. Looking to add even more drama? Pull out a complementary paint hue to coat the walls.

Add Some Vintage Posters

Vintage posters create a bold alternative to a headboard in the master bedroom of a Los Angeles home by John De Bastiani. Because the room itself is grounded in neutrals, the oversized prints also serve to add a vibrant pop of color and personality.
