When it comes to decorating above your dresser, think about adding a mirror to create the illusion of a larger space.

You can also consider hanging a gallery wall of small art prints or photos to add personality and charm to the space. I sourced affordable frames from Ikea and mixed and matched different sizes and styles for a cohesive look.

Finding the right wall decor for a guy’s room can be challenging, but it’s all about incorporating elements that reflect your interests and personality.

Painting an accent wall is a great way to add depth and visual interest to your bedroom. I opted for a deep navy blue accent wall behind my bed to create a cozy and intimate feel. You can also experiment with wallpaper or wall decals for a more unique look. I found a removable wallpaper in a floral pattern that adds a modern touch without the commitment of permanent wallpaper.

For a budget-friendly accent wall, consider using paint to create a geometric pattern or stripes. I used painter’s tape to create a herringbone pattern on another one of my walls, and it completely transformed the room. You can also use wall stencils or stamps to add texture and interest to your accent wall. The key is to have fun and experiment with different techniques to create a unique look.

The best part is, if you ever get tired of the design, you can easily remove it without damaging the walls.

I found some cool modern art stickers for the kids bedroom and even wall mirror stickers on Amazon. They’re easy to apply and remove, making them perfect for renters, families with kids or anyone who likes to change up their decor frequently.

Canvas art is a great way to add texture and dimension to your walls. I found a local artist who creates custom canvas art and commissioned a piece that perfectly complements my room’s color scheme.
