About This Collection
A bedroom asks less of a print than a living room does. It doesn't need to impress anyone; it needs to be pleasant to look at while you're half awake. The collection falls into four groups.
Morning dogs are the most popular strand by some distance. The Whippet Morning Quote Print, with its "Oooooh Big Stretch", and the Greyhound Rise and Shine Print are the two best sellers, and both are at their most useful opposite the bed, where they can offer moral support at 7am. Sighthound owners in particular tend to find them uncomfortably accurate.
Sleeping cats and naps are the strand for anyone who admires a cat's approach to life. The Sleeping Tabby Cat Print and the Sleeping Ginger Cat Print lead this strand, with the Navy Window Cat Print among the newer arrivals and typography for the same mood, including the This Room Is For Napping Print and a Nap Queen print for anyone who has earned the title. For more cat bedroom decor, the cat prints collection goes further.
Reading in bed is a small, dedicated series of animals and people who have decided the day is over. The Black Cat Reading Print, the Greyhound Reading Print, the Duck Reading in Bed Print, the Horse Reading in Bed Print and the Girl Reading in Bed Print all share the same unhurried energy. A horse in bed with a book is not something you expect to find relatable, and yet.
Calm landscapes and soft florals cover the quieter end. The Layered Mountains Print, the Wisteria Cascade Print and the Moonlit Forest Print come from the Japanese range, while the Monet Bedroom Wall Art print and the Dahlia Bouquet Print bring softer colour and an impressionist feel.
For more in the same register, the Japanese prints collection, the floral prints collection and the poem prints collection all have prints that suit a bedroom wall.
Where should bedroom wall art go?
Above the bed is the classic spot, and it suits one wide print or a pair. A landscape at A2 or A1, or two matching florals side by side, gives the bed a headboard's worth of presence without anything to dust.
Opposite the bed is the wall you actually look at, which makes it the place for the print you want to wake up to. The morning dog prints and the reading animals do their best work here.
Beside the bed and on narrow side walls, smaller prints at A4 or A3 work well: a sleeping cat, a short poem, a single flower. These are prints for the pillow rather than across the room.
For a bedroom gallery wall, keep the palette soft and the subjects related. The bedroom prints mix well with the romantic prints collection and with the calmer pieces in the living room collection if you want the two rooms to feel connected.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of bedroom wall art is in this collection?
The collection includes morning quote prints featuring whippets and greyhounds; sleeping cat prints and nap-themed typography; animals and people reading in bed; Japanese-inspired landscapes, blossom and forest prints; Monet-inspired window and garden scenes; soft floral and botanical prints; and a handful of short poem and quote prints. Most use muted, restful colours rather than bold ones.
What wall art works best for a calm bedroom?
Prints with soft colour, plenty of space in the composition and a subject that doesn't demand attention. The Japanese landscapes, the Monet-inspired scenes and the sleeping cats are the calmest in the collection. Save the brighter florals and the funnier typography for the wall you see in the morning, where a bit of energy is more welcome.
Are bedroom prints good gifts?
They make thoughtful gifts because they tend to be personal without being loud. The reading in bed prints suit readers, the sleeping cat prints suit cat owners, and the whippet and greyhound morning prints are a reliable choice for anyone whose sighthound has claimed half the duvet. Buy 2, save 10%; buy 3, save 15%, applied automatically at checkout, if the gift turns into a pair.
What sizes are available?
Most prints are available in sizes from 5x7 up to A1, with both metric and US paper sizes. Full size options are shown on each individual product page. Above the bed, A2 or A1 gives a single print enough width, while A4 and A3 suit bedside walls and smaller rooms.
Can all prints be ordered framed?
Yes. All prints can be ordered framed. We're rolling framed options out across the site, so individual listings will show whether a framed version is currently available. If you'd like a framed version of a print that doesn't yet have that option listed, get in touch and we'll sort it for you.
What is the print quality like?
Prints are produced on FSC-certified 200gsm fine art paper using a 12-colour press with a matte, glare-free finish. The matte finish matters more in a bedroom than anywhere else, since there's no glare from a bedside lamp.
Where do you ship and how long does delivery take?
We ship worldwide via Gelato's global print network, meaning your order is fulfilled close to where you live. Every print is made to order and dispatched promptly, then arrives within 2 to 5 business days of dispatch. Free shipping applies to US and UK orders.
