Bedroom Murals
A bedroom accent wall is the most common home for a wall mural in the house, and it's also the placement where a single, uninterrupted image matters most — no repeat pattern breaking up a headboard wall, no seams competing with a nightstand lamp. Applied Coverings prints every bedroom mural to your exact wall dimensions, scaling the design to fill the space as one continuous scene rather than tiling a pattern across it.
Mural styles that work well in bedrooms
Nature and landscape — forest paths, misty mountain ranges, and softly lit garden scenes behind the bed create a calm, window-like focal point. Particularly effective in bedrooms without a strong outdoor view.
Botanical and floral — large-scale florals and leaf compositions scaled to the full wall read as an oversized piece of art rather than a printed pattern.
Abstract and painterly — soft color-field or watercolor-style murals add mood and depth without the visual noise of a busy repeating pattern, well suited to a room meant for rest.
Cityscape and skyline — a golden-hour skyline or city silhouette works as a striking exception to the calmer categories above, best suited to lofts and bedrooms with a more graphic aesthetic.
Sizing a mural to your bedroom wall
Because a mural is a single image rather than a repeating pattern, Applied Coverings scales your chosen design — or an uploaded photo — to the exact width and height of your wall before printing. Larger murals print in panels with a 1" overlap between each one, hung left to right in numbered order; an optional double-cut technique creates a tight, flush seam that's typically invisible at normal viewing distance, especially on textured materials like Peel & Stick Linen. There's no maximum size — a full accent wall behind a king bed and a narrower wall behind a twin are both handled the same way, at the dimensions you provide.

Frequently asked questions about bedroom wall murals
Can I upload my own photo as a bedroom mural?
Yes. Applied Coverings' custom upload tool accepts high-resolution JPEG, PNG, and TIFF files. Enter your wall dimensions and we scale and print your photo to fill the wall as a single image.
Do bedroom murals have visible seams?
Larger murals print in panels with a 1" overlap between each one. An optional double-cut technique — cutting through both layers along the overlap and removing the excess strips — creates a tight, flush seam that's typically invisible at normal viewing distance, especially on Peel & Stick Linen.
What size mural do I need for my bedroom wall?
Measure the width and height of the wall in inches and enter those exact dimensions at checkout — Applied Coverings prints to that size, so there's no standard size to choose from and no leftover material.
How long does a bedroom mural take to install?
A standard accent wall (typically 100–150 sqft) takes 2–4 hours to install professionally. Applied Coverings offers installation services in San Jose, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
