Trying to decide between texture and artwork as the main emphasis in your next bedroom redesign? You don't have to sacrifice one just to enjoy the other! The six creative bedrooms highlighted in this post prove that adding artwork to a room doesn't necessarily have to take attention away from the bold patterns and sophisticated materials used within, or vice versa – it just means being a little more careful to make sure the dual sources of ornamentation doesn't overwhelm the eye. It's all about the balance! See how these bedrooms enjoy the best of both worlds within radically different decor themes.

Visualizer: Maria-Yoana Popova

Visualized by Maria-Yoana Popova, this neutral-themed bedroom makes a big first impression with dramatic parquet that defines the space immediately behind and above the bed, in deep contrast with the textural gray matte treatment at either side. Now, let’s inspect some of the artistic elements…

A large framed image of mountains centers the sleeping space. Note how this artwork is hung over the most decorative wall texture rather than the simple walls to either side. This arrangement heightens the visual experience of both features.

The slanted dividers within the shelves echo the crags and slopes of the mountain photo.

Artwork centers the bed just as the hanging pendant lights center the side tables. Because the functional furniture (the bed, entertainment center, etc.) are not in the middle of the room, this sense of weight plays an important role.

A small row of grass beneath the wall-mounted shelves and the yellow pouf at the vanity both tie back into the natural accents.

Visualizer: D2 STUDIO

This bedroom clearly belongs to enthusiastic fans of typography and graphic design – perhaps with a dash of DIY passion as well. This lovely monochromatic space was visualized by D2 Studio for a young couple in Lviv, Ukraine. Along the headboard storage niches resides a nice combination of urban and nature photography along with large white letters and subtle wooden houses, among other interesting objects.

The view from the bed maintains a simpler aesthetic, mostly focusing on a modest television and a few dramatic prints.

Don’t you just love that bedspread? Geometric prints in black and white are a great way to add visual interest to a monochromatic room.

Note the sparing use of natural tones like the wicker basket and little house statues.

Because this room has such a frosty cool color theme, the luxurious rug beneath the bed works wonders to make the room feel and look warmer.

11 |

From this angle, you can see that the full-length curtains aren’t covering floor-to-ceiling windows. Instead, they have a dual purpose of simplifying the interior and hiding the radiator.

12 |

Check out the wooden star – wouldn’t this make a wonderful weekend DIY project? Old signage or barn art, a drill, some wiring know-how, and a handful of Edison bulbs can result in wonderful things.

Visualizer: Pavel Alekseev

Although the color theme is coordinated with precision, the artwork here is personal and eclectic. Some may hesitate to decorate a textural brick wall with art – designer Pavel Alekseev addressed the usual inconvenience of hanging items on brick by hanging only one tall piece and allowing the remaining canvases to lean with a relaxed style.

Yellow and blue accents add a pop of color within this textural yet neutral theme.

15 |

This angle offers a great view of the many contrasting textures used throughout: a watercolor-effect accent wall, matte black brick, and two types of wood, plus many subtle textiles.

16 |

Much of the artwork is based on the written word, like this chalkboard door currently featuring a quote from author Joseph Chilton Pearce.

Visualizer: Zinaida Baklanova

Charming in every way, this bedroom by Zinaida Baklanova hosts a wealth of expressive features from the well-worn whitewashed floors to the unexpected yellow door. And of course, it’s impossible to ignore the many DIY decor ideas that use simple objects in creative ways, like the curtain of string lights in front of the blue accent wall or the cute pinecones on the ladder shelf.

19 |

This bedroom doesn’t utilize any paintings or prints like the previous designs did. Instead the artistic elements come from the careful arrangement of color, shape, and form. Note how the geometric patterns create interest without added visual weight – the barely-there contrast of the wallpaper and thin lines on the side table make a statement without overwhelming the eye.

20 |

The floral arrangements could easily be considered artwork as well.

21 |

It’s hard to ignore that gorgeous divider between the bedroom and bath! Panes of glass create a distinctive boundary while making both rooms feel larger.

22 |

A gorgeous tile floor provides a touch of subdued color in a room otherwise decorated exclusively in black and white.

Visualizer: Vashantsev Nik

This bedroom by Vashantsev Nik celebrates the power of expressive paint. This first photo shows a shot of the thin and long headboard that runs the length of the wall, spattered with bright yellow.

24 |

Deep texture is another important element. The black wall in the background maintains a high contrast between the matte brick and the charcoal mortar – both tones echoed throughout the room.

25 |

26 |

Indirect lighting offers ambiance – but for tasks that require more concentration, adjustable cantilever lamps by Paolo Rizzatto offer the perfect solution. The designer lighting also draws some extra attention toward the distinctive exposed beams above, where highly polished wood implies a creative hammered texture.

27 |

Another large piece of artwork stands out in front of the mirrored wall. Its abstract, urban, and reflects the selective use of color demonstrated throughout the bedroom.

28 |

Such eclectic decor! This is a bedroom to excite the creative soul.

29 |

Vico Magistretti’s Atollo Lamp embodies the delicate balance between curved and linear geometric themes, an important source of contrast in this bedroom design.

Visualizer: Olga Podgornaja

This bedroom visualized by Olga Podgornaja offers a gorgeous modern update of the Art Deco aesthetic, infused with a hint of industrial Bauhaus design influence – an interesting combination considering the historic philosophical opposition between the two styles. The polished wall medallion combines both in one unifying centerpiece.

32 |

Other artwork includes a large canvas painting propped casually against the wall, and gorgeous floral arrangements executed with precision and care.

33 |

Soft indirect light illuminates the bed from Here Comes the Sun pendants by French architect Bertrand Balas. A whole wall of storage cabinets occupies the background and exaggerates the geometric patterns used throughout the room and especially the bedding.
