Create a bedscape, not just a bed!

There’s a new trend under the covers, and it’s not just about high thread counts or cushion overload. It’s called bedscapism – and it’s about treating your bed like a styled, lived-in, deeply personal work of art. Think tablescaping, but fluffier.

Bedscape trend turns the bed into the main character of your bedroom. It’s where comfort meets design, where layers of textiles, lighting, accessories – and yes, wallpaper – come together to create a visual (and emotional) hug. It’s not just for the glam. It is for you.

So what exactly is a bedscape?

A bedscape is a carefully curated mix of textures, tones, and elements that make your bed feel styled yet cozy. It usually includes layered bedding, a thoughtful throw or two, cushions of different shapes and sizes, ambient lighting, and personal details like a bedside book or tray. But what really sets the tone? The wall behind the bed.

Enter wallpaper!

Wallpaper is the unsung hero of the bedscape trend. It turns a plain wall into a backdrop, a scene, a mood-setter. Whether you go for a dreamy mural wallpaper, a soft repeat pattern, or a bold photo wallpaper, the wall behind your bed frames the whole look. It gives context to your linens, makes your cushions pop, and anchors your space with personality. Think of it as the ultimate headboard glow-up.

How to create your own bedscape (with wallpaper involved!):

1. Start with the wall.
Choose a wallpaper that reflects how you want the room to feel. Soft florals for romance, abstract designs for modern calm, or a misty forest photo mural if you want to cocoon yourself in nature vibes. If you already have your bedding palette, pick a wallpaper that complements it. Or flip it – let the wallpaper lead, and choose linens to match.

2. Layer your bedding like a pro.
Mix textures: cotton sheets, a linen duvet, maybe a quilt or throw in velvet or wool. Stick to 2-3 main tones for a cohesive look, but don’t be afraid of pattern play if your wallpaper is subtle.

3. Pile on the pillows.
They’re not just decorative – they’re part of the experience and bedscape trend essentials! Use different shapes (square, rectangle, bolster), and stack them with intent. Match or contrast with your wallpaper – both work if done with care.

4. Add ambient lighting.
Soft bedside lamps, fairy lights or sconces add the final mood. Lighting can bring out subtle details in your wallpaper and create depth and shadow.

5. Don’t forget the personal touches.
Tray with a candle, a book, or even a mini plant? Yes please. They say: this is my space, and I love it.

Bedscapism isn’t about perfection.

It’s about building a space that feels like a retreat. And wallpaper is one of the easiest ways to make a big visual impact without constantly fluffing cushions. With one wallpaper behind the bed, your room already looks styled. Everything else is just the cherry on top. So next time you look at your bedroom, ask yourself: is this just a bed? Or is it a bedscape waiting to happen?
