Floral Art for your Bedroom

Flowers have always inspired and delighted us, from Claude Monet’s impressionist Water Lilies to Gustav Klimt’s art nouveau Sunflower, floral art is a lasting source of enjoyment. In this article I will discuss what to look for when buying floral paintings and prints for your bedroom. You should love the art in your home and this applies to all budgets, we show works at a range of price points with plenty of art under £100 available for you to look at.

Our bedrooms are where we go to relax at the end of the day and so we suggest choosing works with calming tones in them. Floral artworks are perfect for this as they tend to have natural tones in them. With most of us looking at screens all day long, it’s lovely to have an artwork to focus on and take our mind off of the day whilst we wind down.

There are a few different ways to display artworks in a bedroom. If you have space, a large diptych in lighter or pastel tones above the bed is a subtle way to make a statement. Mary Chaplin is a brilliant artist for such works - her impressionist floral paintings are perfect for bedrooms. Chaplin lives near to Monet’s gardens and often paints in them, creating these huge works with light brush strokes and plenty of movement. The lightness of her works makes them suitable for such a space.

Diane Whalley’s abstract paintings can be used in the same way or hung above a chest of drawers to balance the focus of a room. The pastel tones ground the works, making them soothing to look at. Whalley adds pops of colour and layers paint to add texture and depth to her pieces, perfectly balancing the calming effects that one looks for in a bedroom whilst still maintaining the abstract trait of always having something new to see.

If you prefer a more minimalist interior then Ellen William’s original still life line drawings of flowers may appeal. These smaller works sit really well either side of the bed above side tables and lights. The simplicity of these pieces really helps to focus, clear the mind and give the room an elegant feel.

Sasha Getsko is another artist whose semi-abstract floral paintings would fit seamlessly into a bedroom. The subdued greys and purples counteracted by the injection of bright yellow daffodils gives the work a cheery feel. The loose forms of the flowers melt in and out of focus, giving the work a pacifying affect. Such a piece would look great opposite your bed, brightening up your mornings and helping you to unwind in the evenings.
