Designing a bedroom wall: wallpaper ideas for the headboard

The wall behind your bed is so much more than just a back wall. For me, it's the focal point of the bedroom—the place where calm begins and style becomes apparent. With the right wallpaper, you can make a truly special statement right here. I'll show you how to turn this area into your absolute favorite spot—without any remodeling, but with plenty of personality.

The “Botanical Jungle” photo wallpaper brings dramatic depth and jungle flair to the wall behind the bed – a real statement for bold style lovers.

Why the wall behind the bed?

Because it immediately catches your eye as soon as you enter the room. This wall adds structure and depth to your bedroom – it can calm, inspire, or be a true design highlight. If the rest of the room is rather plain, you can be bold here and make a statement with pattern or color. And the best part: You don't need new furniture for it, just a wallpaper that suits you perfectly.

I see the wall behind the bed as the perfect showcase for your style—whether minimalist, natural, or playful. This is where you can give your bedroom character.

Three styles – three moods: The “Jungle Pattern” brings a tropical flair to your bedroom, “Marble Pastel Beige” has a calm and elegant effect, and the “Night Garden” lends your bed a mysterious depth with floral charm.

Which wallpapers make sense here?

Wallpapers truly set the mood – and they really shine behind the bed. Whether it's gentle watercolor gradients , tranquil nature motifs , or a sophisticated stone look , you can play with textures and designs here. I find it particularly exciting when an element from the wallpaper – such as a color or shape – is repeated in the rest of the decor. This creates a harmonious overall look.

Of course, I adapt each motif individually for you – because for me, a successful design always starts with a perfect cut.
