Does your bedroom lack any focal point or architectural features? Try bringing attention to the wall behind the bed with modern rustic wallpaper or a mural depicting rusty metal. Not only will it create a bold statement, but it will also add buckets of character to the plain boxy room.
If you want the room to feel sophisticated and elegant, use layers of sumptuous textures, like a thick pile carpet, chunky wool throw and an upholstered bedhead.

Create the ultimate cosy retreat that’s good for the soul by painting your walls in a deep, dark tone. You’ll instantly feel safe and cocooned in your cave-like sleep space, away from the stresses of the day.

Rustic bedroom wall decor
Only got a small budget but want to impress with fabulous rustic wall decorations? Head out to your local woods and forage for two large (and attractive) branches, then suspend them from finishing wire for a rustic wall hanging.
They could become the basis of a seasonal display that you change up through the year, such as fairy lights at Christmas, or pretty, colourful leaves hung from them in the autumn. Or you could even hang family photos from them for a playful twist on your ‘family tree.’
