Vintage slaapkamer posters

For the wall above a standard UK double or king bed, we'd go with a single 70x100cm framed print centred over the headboard. It should sit roughly two-thirds the width of the bed to look intentional rather than lost. If you prefer a pair or a set of three, 30x40cm or 40x50cm framed prints work beautifully in a row with about 5cm between each frame. Our vintage art prints for bedroom walls arrive ready to hang with fixtures already attached, so you can get them up the same evening they arrive.

For bedrooms, we think muted vintage botanicals and soft-toned still lifes outperform busier styles like vintage travel posters or bold retro graphics. The reason is simple: your bedroom needs to feel restful, and art with a quieter palette (think dusty pinks, sage greens, warm ochres) does that without being boring. Vintage floral prints for bedroom walls are consistently our most popular pick here, especially when framed in our natural oak or black wood frames. If you lean more modern-vintage, look for simple line-drawn figures or faded landscape studies.

The key is restraint. Pick one anchor piece above the bed (around 60x80cm or 70x100cm) and then add no more than one or two smaller prints on adjacent walls. Keep the frames consistent in colour and material so the room reads as curated, not chaotic. Our FSC-certified wood frames come in a tight range of finishes specifically so you can mix print sizes while everything still looks like it belongs together. A single vintage botanical print on the wall opposite your bed, where you see it first thing in the morning, is often more impactful than a gallery wall of twelve.

Not with ours. Every framed print comes with UV-protective acrylic glazing that prevents fading even in direct sunlight, and we use museum-grade giclée inks rated to last hundreds of years. So if your bedroom faces south or has big windows, you can hang vintage bedroom wall art right in the sun's path without worrying. The acrylic glaze also eliminates glare, which matters in a bedroom where you're often looking at the walls from a low angle on the bed.

Start with your colour palette rather than a theme. Pull two or three tones from your existing bedding or curtains, then look for vintage art prints that echo those colours. A warm cream duvet pairs brilliantly with sepia-toned botanical illustrations or faded classical landscapes in an oak frame. Pair that with textured linen cushions and a brass reading lamp, and the room will feel authentically vintage rather than costume-y. The art does the heaviest lifting because it sets the visual era of the room, so choose prints that look like they've always belonged there rather than anything too pristine or glossy.
