Teal is the perfect tone for your bedroom. Chic, calming, and effortlessly modern, you can’t go wrong with teal.

Our design experts have put together a whole host of unexpected ways to add a splash of teal to your sleeping space. From wall art to color palette ideas, create a trendy teal space in the blink of an eye. These striking, teal bedroom wall ideas will instantly take your most personal room to a whole new level.
The Best Colors to Pair with Teal
The beauty of blue is that this classic color pairs well with almost any hue. Because teal falls into the blue category, it is extremely versatile when it comes to adding other colors. Teal has green undertones, which means it can also be used in organic spaces. From neutral color palettes to using teal as a base, you can’t have too much or too little teal. If you’re looking for a super-easy way to add this stunning shade, wall art is easy, affordable, and low-maintenance!
Teal and Purple Bedroom
Teal and purple is one of the hottest color combos for 2023. Both are secondary colors, and purple is the perfect balance of warm and cool. Rather than directly contrasting teal blue with a warm shade, purple blends with teal while adding a subtle hint of warmth.
White Wall Decor
For a more subtle approach, white and teal is a foolproof color combo. The white, off-white, and ivory details will make the teal stand out. You want your decor to work in harmony, rather than in competition with itself. Add houseplants and live greenery to bridge the gap between green-tinted teal and neutral tones.

Teal Room Decor: Shapes & Layouts
There are tons of funky multi-panel layouts to maximize the contemporary look of your teal wall decor. For a trendy look, choose a split, two-piece canvas for striking symmetry. You can also dare to go for an even more eclectic choice, and opt for our six or seven-panel print. The teal tones will pop in any format.
However, unframed canvases aren’t the only wall art option. You can also display your teal-tinted print with a traditional frame. This look is ultra-sleek, and works with a wide variety of surrounding bedroom decor. Follow this tip from our wall art size and layout guide for more single-panel tips:
“If you’re a traditionalist at heart, consider our classic single-panel prints. These pieces of artwork can be purchased as a framed print or an unframed canvas; it’s up to you! If you’re stumped on sizing, or the equations above don’t work for your specific space, consider one of our larger, horizontal single-panel sizes: 48”x32”. Keep in mind that our multi-panel pieces of artwork come in even larger dimensions, which are ideal for a space with higher ceilings or a wider empty wall. You can also use this as a base for an oversized gallery wall, and hang smaller prints around it!”

The Ultimate Teal Wall Art Size Guide
Speaking of sizes, choosing the perfect size of teal wall decor is essential for a well-curated space. To make your sleeping space look designer-approved, follow these tips for a balanced bedroom:
“Wall art that you want to hang over furniture, such as a fireplace, a bed or a couch, should be between 2/3 and 3/4 of the furniture's width. To measure the ideal art size above your furniture, consider this example: If your couch is 6 feet wide, multiply it by 0.66 and 0.75. You would need a canvas between 3.96 feet and 4.5 feet wide to fit impressively above the couch.
If you’re unsure about which layout best fits your style, you can’t go wrong with the four-panel layout. Choose between a symmetrical shape, or our ever-popular, dynamic “wave” layout. If you go for the foolproof wave, the oversized 84”x54” size will make a major statement. While it may seem expansive, it’s hard to overdo it when it comes to oversized wall art. It’s always better to choose a size that’s on the larger side than the smaller size.”

Expert Tips
ElephantStock's interior design expert Elimar Lobo Sáenz shares her tips for adding blue tones (like trendy teal) to your bedroom in 2023:
"Blue is a calming color that can promote serenity, clear your mind, and bring you peace. Add blue tones through subtle accents like pillows, throws, or accessories on top of your nightstand. A bolder way to incorporate blue is through these three decor trends:
-Statement patterns: wallpapers with interesting, vibrant designs.
-Eye-catching headboards: elegant, simple and bold.
-Stylish sitting areas: create a cozy and perfect oasis in your bedroom by including one or two blue chairs, for a comfortable reading or even receiving a guest. You can play with different shades of blue furniture that adapts to your style and needs."

Curating a Modern Bedroom
Consider an accent wall to make your teal wall art pop even more. Try a daring look with a charcoal or dark grey accent wall, and hang an abstract, teal print in the center of your space. Play with minimalist furniture against bold decor. Use a dark, moody color palette for something unexpected and totally on-trend for 2023.

Minimalist Teal Bedroom Wall Decor
Minimalist teal wall art can add a touch of sophistication and calm to any bedroom. Teal is a versatile color that can work well with a variety of design styles, and when paired with a minimalist aesthetic, it can create a serene and stylish atmosphere. One popular minimalist teal wall art design is a simple abstract painting with a splash of teal as the focal point. This type of artwork can add an interesting and artistic element to a neutral-colored room, without overwhelming the space. Another option is to use a minimalist teal wall art print with a subtle geometric pattern or simple typography, which can be a great way to infuse personality and inspiration into the space! Minimalist teal wall art can be a great addition to any room in the house, but it’s especially perfect for adding a calming and stylish touch to your bedroom.
