What Can I Hang On My Bedroom Walls? (9 Creative Things)

Are you tired of staring at blank walls in your room? Is your room looking really dull and boring? Then decorating your walls with specific items can uplift any room almost instantly.

There are many different kinds of decor items to hang on your bedroom walls that won’t break your budget. In fact, many of the decor items over here can be done with things you already have in your home.

The best things you can hang on your bedroom walls would be picture frames, string lights, floating shelves, mirrors, and even out-of-the-box options such as flower wreaths, letter frames, sculptures, and even hanging pot plants among others. 

With just one or two decor items, your bedroom walls are bound to make your room look like it’s part of a magazine. Alternatively, you could combine a few of these ideas to create a complete overall look.

If this sounds good to you, here are 9 best ways to decorate your bedroom walls:

1. Picture Frames

The most obvious of the lot would be to hang picture frames of your family photos, landscapes of beautiful places you’ve been or wish to visit, motivational quotes and sayings.

This can also be used to keep the motivation high to make your dreams come true.

Hanging up picture frames or even art prints of your favorite artists is a great way to customize the way your room decor looks. Depending on the style or theme of your decor, you can easily pick out the ones that stand out to you most.

You might not realize it but a good picture frame can make a huge difference to the way your room looks.

2. Metal Grids

You may have seen these hanging metal grids used for being more organized or productive but they make really good decor pieces.

If you don’t want to be too obvious that you use these grids to help organize your life, you can hang up pictures of things that inspire you to make it look aesthetic.

However, simply hanging up these grids on your bedroom walls is a sneaky way to make your decor look modern and stylish even if you just want to make use of them as decor pieces.

3. String Lights

Hanging string lights on your walls are quite popular right now and I’m sure you can agree that they can make a room look aesthetic and pleasing to the eye.

They also give off that warm and cozy feeling.

With string lights, you can mount them around picture frames, your headboard, or even on the wall with pictures that mean something to you.

However, string lights are more suitable for those who love a more cutesy vibe.

4. Flower Wreaths

You can easily hang these flower wreaths or hanging flowers on your walls that will instantly draw attention to it.

These can be done with cheap fabric flowers you can find at any dollar or craft store. They’re inexpensive and you can either hang them up with nails or glue.

Alternatively, you can make your own flower wreath by using an embroidery hoop and gluing fabric flowers and leaves on one side.

There’s also this fantastic idea to use string attached to a strong stick and hang flower pots above your bed as shown in this picture:

These wreaths are also customizable for special holidays and may even make your bedroom look great during the holidays.

5. Hanging Pot Plants

A room with some greenery can really help uplift the environment. I’m not sure about you but just having a green plant in sight can impact the way you feel.

By hanging pot plants on your bedroom walls or even having them hanging from the ceiling, the whole vibe of your room will feel more pleasing.

If you’re not good at keeping real plants alive, you could always swap them out for faux plants. Whichever option you go for, it’s bound to look great.

Here’s a great instruction video by Bunnings Warehouse that will show you how to hang your indoor plants anywhere in your home in just a few easy steps:

6. Floating Shelves

Another decor piece you can hang on your walls is floating shelves. This is a great way to give you more storage space while decorating your room.

It’s also a brilliant way to not have any bare walls but floating shelves are quite a popular choice among those who love decorating their homes themselves.

It’s simple and easy to mount and it gives you the freedom to accessorize with anything that catches your eyes, like books, candles, picture frames, or even stylish ornaments.

7. Letter Frames

You might not see this one often but it’s another great way to add value to a wall.

You can find these letter frames and customize them to spell any saying or quote that you would want to see every day. Alternatively, you could add words or sayings on a wooden frame that will do the job of two things.

This type of decor style is preferable for a more farmhouse/vintage style decor.

8. Mirrors

Mirrors are another great thing to hang on your bedroom walls and depending on the size of your bedroom, you’ll want to hang a mirror that will stand out but not be overwhelming.

If the rest of your decor is simple, go for a really fancy piece.

However, if you want to keep things neutral, stick with a simple circle or square mirror without any fancy frames. You could also hang these mirrors about your bed or above a dressing table.

9. Sculptures

For those who love sculptures of plants, people, animals, or things, then you could hang these on your bedroom walls.

It will definitely be quite striking and original to your decor but if you play your cards right, these sculptures for example this DIY seahorse made from driftwood can make your decor look outstanding.
