I) Geometric style painting

Circles, squares, straight lines, curves, animal prints and other background motifs – these are just some of the possibilities offered by geometric-style paintings. They combine both abstract and figurative art .

Whether you're a decorating enthusiast or not, these are perfect paintings to add a touch of style to your bedroom. They offer a unique look, an aesthetic appeal, and adapt to almost any decorating style.

1) Adaptation to some interior decoration styles

Whether they are abstract or not, geometric paintings are fundamentally multicolored. They display both bright and dark colors. That said, they adapt very well to almost any interior design style. However, some decorating styles are particularly well-suited to geometric paintings.

If you're a purist, then geometric paintings are perfect for you. This type of artwork hangs easily on the wall, creating a look that's both understated and warm in a Scandinavian-style decor. To display this type of painting in your Scandinavian-style bedroom, make sure the image is abstract. It will create a peaceful and meditative atmosphere in your home, easily lulling you to sleep.

Just like Scandinavian design, modern decor doesn't hold back when it comes to incorporating geometric artwork. At its core, modern decor aims for luxury and a cozy atmosphere. Rejecting all forms of restraint, it embraces extravagance. In a modern bedroom, a geometric painting lends the room a feeling of well-being and cheerfulness.

Simplicity and understated elegance are the hallmarks of a geometric-style painting within an industrial decor . It adds a touch of charm to a room that often has a dated look. In addition to its charm, this painting brings a vibrant touch to the wall it adorns.

2) Some theme ideas

For Scandinavian and industrial decor, you should opt for abstract themes, and occasionally, mysterious images. These could include a human face, a landscape, animal figures, and so on. In a modern bedroom, geometric-style paintings are limitless. You can choose both figurative and abstract themes.

II) Abstract Paintings

It aims to be mysterious, discreet, inspiring wonder and astonishment. This type of painting blends fear and joy, fostering both reflection and meditation. A contemporary work , it is one of the two art forms that characterize this era. Giving artists free rein, they allow their creativity to flourish, relying on their imagination. They thus paint their emotions, creating an enigma in the mind.

The artist also conveys messages through their masterpieces, leaving it to collectors to decode the message they send. This era was marked by great painters such as Peter Doig, Rudolph Stringer, and others. Abstract paintings are well-suited to decorating a bedroom wall, as they induce a meditative state.

1) What style of decor is suitable for an abstract painting?

Naturally, contemporary art paintings are a suitable choice for decorating the walls of a bedroom in a contemporary style . This is for several reasons. Contemporary decor emphasizes the mixing of colors, but tends to favor vibrant hues.

This resonates perfectly with contemporary art, which also embraces mixing styles while emphasizing vibrant colors. Abstract art isn't limited to contemporary-style rooms; it also transcends the boundaries of modern, bohemian, and minimalist designs .

Although it may seem insignificant, contemporary paintings are finding their place in minimalist decor . The vibrant colors characteristic of contemporary art are certainly not unique to the minimalist aesthetic, but they do add contrast to the decor. An abstract painting is therefore more likely to catch your eye if your interior design is minimalist.

Sparkling and exotic, bohemian decor also exudes mystery. It therefore blends perfectly with abstract art. The two harmonize seamlessly, creating a pleasing effect.

The modernist spirit, for its part, will accept abstract painting provided it is not too multicolored, while still displaying classical backgrounds.

In either of these types of rooms, abstract paintings will facilitate falling asleep.

2) What themes will you choose for your abstract painting?

To incorporate an abstract painting into your bedroom, you should consider the characteristics of your existing interior design. It's also essential to think about the role the painting will play within the overall decor. For a bedroom decorated in a minimalist style, for example, you could choose a vibrant painting like Mark Rothko's " Orange, Red, Yellow ."

For a bohemian decor , you can choose a theme like the ceiling of the Paris Opera painted by the famous Chagall or Dorothea Tanning's Door 84. Jackson Pollock's Autumn Rhythm, Jean-Michel Basquiat's untitled work called Skull, or Cecyl Brown's The Girl Who Had Everything are perfect for decorating a modern bedroom.

III) Japanese Zen Paintings

Originating in the East and printed on canvas , Japanese Zen paintings primarily aim to create a sense of calm and relaxation. They are therefore perfect for decorating a bedroom, promoting peaceful sleep. They offer a variety of images that induce a meditative state, some depicting landscapes or places where one can linger and meditate.

1) The perfect decorating styles for a Japanese Zen painting

Available in a variety of forms and designs, Japanese Zen paintings, similar to the Japandi style , are limitless. They are perfect for almost any decorating style. Since they emphasize meditation and are primarily intended to promote relaxation, they will be even more effective in certain types of bedrooms.

These are rooms decorated in styles that prioritize simplicity and restraint. Japanese Zen paintings are therefore best suited to rooms decorated in minimalist, industrial, rustic, or modern styles. They add a distinctive touch to each of these decorating styles.

In a minimalist bedroom, a Japanese Zen painting enhances the simplicity of the decor. It makes it softer, calmer, and more relaxing.

For a bedroom decorated in a modern style, a Japanese Zen painting will create a contrasting effect. In a rustic setting , however, it plays the same role as in a minimalist one.

2) Which Japanese Zen painting would suit your bedroom?

Calm landscapes, flowers, flowing water, the sky, Buddha, a human face, a Japanese tree, and other motifs are all common themes in a Japanese Zen painting. Intended to be simple and peaceful, a minimalist bedroom is more compatible with themes that symbolize concentration.

You could therefore choose a painting with an image of Buddha or the face of a meditating figure, for example. This also works for a room decorated in a rustic style. For modern decor, you have a wide choice of themes and the number of paintings. Don't hesitate to play with grouping them together.

IV) Paintings with floral motifs

Paintings with floral motifs are all the rage. They symbolize gentleness, tenderness, calm, and romance. Very soothing, they can depict one or several flowers at a time. This type of painting often features only soft colors , bringing serenity to your rooms.

1) The best decorative styles for a floral pattern painting

Floral prints are available on canvas, framed art, oil paints , and other media. These prints are often available on luxurious materials, while oil paintings, for example, are available on more affordable materials.

That said, floral patterns are timeless and seamlessly integrate into all decorating styles. You can use them in Scandinavian, modern, vintage, bohemian, rustic, and other types of bedrooms. You simply need to consider the characteristics of each style when making your selection.

2) Which paintings with floral motifs should I choose?

Some paintings feature a single image of flowers, while others combine several. Gustav Klimt 's Blumengarten is a prime example. When choosing your themes, let your tastes and intuition guide you.

V) Some criteria for choosing a modern painting for your bedroom

Your bedroom is the room where you find rest and serenity. It's very important that it reflects your personality. Create your own sanctuary by making its wall decor an atmosphere of tranquility and serenity. To successfully establish this ambiance, you must consider two types of criteria when choosing your wall decor.

1) Criteria related to the bedroom

First, strive for harmony when decorating your bedroom with paintings. This harmony should extend to the colors, the dominant materials, and the lighting. Also consider the dimensions of your room . The placement of a decorative painting in your room will largely depend on these dimensions. This criterion will also influence the characteristics of the painting you choose.

2) Criteria related to the table

To choose a decorative painting, you must consider the following criteria:

• Size
• Matter
• Hanging method
• Theme
• Shape
• Colors
• Message conveyed
• Style
• Price

While some of these criteria are intrinsically linked to the painting itself, others depend on the room being decorated. Those that depend on the room include size, colors, the message conveyed, the material, and the style. If you have a large room, prioritize smaller paintings and don't hesitate to group them together to create a gallery effect on your walls.

The style of the painting should match that of the room. Therefore, you must carefully choose the colors, shape, themes, and materials of your painting, ensuring they harmonize with the interior décor.

The wall decoration of your room must be done with great care, taking into account all the criteria mentioned above.
