The walls of a girl’s bedroom do a lot of work. They set the tone, reflect personality, and often change dramatically as tastes evolve — from enchanted woodland scenes at six to gallery-worthy prints at sixteen. Getting the wall art right means thinking beyond decoration: the best choices for a girls bedroom are the ones that feel genuinely hers.
This guide covers girls bedroom wall art ideas across every style and age group, from floral art prints and anime posters to handmade macramé, 3D sculptural pieces, and personalised canvas. Whether decorating from scratch or refreshing an existing scheme, there is something here for every personality.
Floral and Botanical Wall Art
Floral and botanical prints are among the most versatile choices for a girl’s bedroom — they work across age groups, sit well in almost any colour scheme, and feel current without being trend-dependent. The key is choosing the right style: soft watercolour botanicals suit younger bedrooms with pastel schemes, while bold maximalist florals or inky pressed-flower prints work well in older girls’ rooms with more developed taste.
For a cohesive look, consider a set of two or three coordinated botanical prints hung in a horizontal line above a bed or desk. Muted sage greens, dusty pinks, and cream backgrounds tend to have the longest decorative life.
Etsy is particularly strong for UK-based botanical prints — independent sellers offer a range of sizes and frame options that high-street alternatives rarely match. Look for sellers offering A4, A3 and A2 in a single listing so the prints can scale as the room grows.

Studio Ghibli prints remain the most popular choice, and it is easy to see why. The films have a visual quality that translates beautifully to framed art — from ink-style Totoro portraits to soft pastel Kiki’s Delivery Service scenes. These prints suit a range of bedroom aesthetics, from minimalist Japandi to cosy maximalist.
For tweens and teens who want something more contemporary, botanical-meets-anime illustrations — characters surrounded by wildflowers, celestial motifs, or architectural landscapes — have become a strong design direction in their own right.
A note on placement: anime prints tend to look best when grouped as a small curated set rather than displayed individually. Three A4 prints in matching simple black frames, hung at equal spacing, will always look more considered than one large poster tacked to a wall.
Sleeping Totoro Print
A cosy, dreamy piece featuring Totoro and friends at rest. Works well in a soft, pastel bedroom scheme or alongside natural textures.
Totoro Fanart — Sumi-e Style
A more minimal, ink-brush interpretation — better suited to an older girl’s bedroom with a Japandi or monochrome scheme.
Jiji from Kiki’s Delivery Service
The iconic black cat with a bow. Playful and characterful, this suits a maximalist or eclectic bedroom styled with dark accents.
Folk Art and Fantasy Prints by HanaBerggren
HanaBerggren is a Glasgow-based printmaker whose work draws on medieval manuscript illustration, Scottish folklore and the stranger corners of the natural world. These are prints for girls who find the usual options too tame — each one rewards close looking.
Garden of Monstrosities
A medieval bestiary reimagined — lions, sea creatures and fantastical beasts crowding a richly detailed landscape. Impossible not to stare at.

The Ghost
A ghost dog at a candlelit table, red curtains drawn against a star-filled night. Quietly unsettling and utterly beautiful.

Dance of the Faefolk
Tiny folk creatures dancing in a ring beneath a mushroom. Playful and strange in equal measure — the one to start with if the others feel too dark.
View on EtsyQuote and Typography Wall Art
Quote art is the perennial choice for tweens and teens — and when it is done well, it earns its place. The pitfall is choosing something too generic; the best quote prints for a girl’s bedroom are the ones that feel specific to her, whether that is a line from a favourite book, a lyric from a formative album, or a phrase that captures something about who she is right now.
Typography style matters as much as the words themselves. Minimal serif lettering on a cream or white ground tends to age well and sits comfortably in most bedroom schemes. Maximalist script art — think swirling letterforms on a dark background — makes a stronger statement but commits the room to a particular aesthetic.
A useful approach: let the girl choose the quote, then source a print that matches the room’s existing colour palette rather than buying a pre-made version that might clash.
Quote Wall Art for Girls’ Bedrooms
The best quote art for a girl’s bedroom says something specific rather than something general. These three prints each bring a different register — philosophical, joyful and quietly aspirational — and work across a range of bedroom styles.
Everything Changes, Nothing Is Lost
An Ovid quote set within moon phases, botanicals and a hamsa hand. More artwork than quote print — suits a teen bedroom with a mystical or bohemian aesthetic.

Shop Now →Boho and Textured Wall Art
Textured wall art — macramé hangings, woven wall pieces, fabric panels — brings a dimension to a girl’s bedroom that flat prints simply cannot. The tactile quality changes how the whole room feels, adding warmth and softness particularly in rooms with painted walls or minimal furniture.
Macramé wall hangings are the natural starting point. A single medium-to-large piece above the bed works as a focal point in a boho bedroom or Scandi-influenced room, while a grouping of smaller woven pieces can anchor a gallery wall with more visual interest than frames alone. For a guide to styles, sizing and how to hang macramé art, see the macramé wall hanging ideas article.
For girls who want to go further, woven tapestries and fabric wall hangings in earthy tones — terracotta, warm cream, sage — complement most neutral or beige bedroom schemes and layer beautifully with botanical prints and natural wood furniture.
Dried Flower Wall Art by FergOfTheFens
FergOfTheFens grows, picks and dries every flower organically on their Fenland smallholding in Norfolk. Each piece is one of a kind — when it’s gone, it’s gone. These are as far from a mass-produced print as it’s possible to get.

3D and sculptural wall art does something flat prints cannot — it changes as the light moves across it, giving a bedroom wall genuine presence at different times of day. For girls’ bedrooms, the most interesting territory right now is resin pop art: handmade three-dimensional pieces that treat the wall like a gallery installation rather than a display surface.
BubblegumgirlDesigns is a Gloucester-based maker producing some of the most joyful resin wall art available anywhere. Ice cream cones in pastel shadow boxes, rainbow lollies in a row, gummy bears in glossy colour — each piece is handmade to order with 7.6k sales and a 4.9 rating that speaks for itself. The work sits somewhere between pop art and bedroom decor, and it is genuinely unlike anything on the high street.
A practical note: resin and sculptural wall art needs proper fixings. Check the weight of each piece before hanging and use appropriate wall anchors rather than adhesive strips — these are not lightweight prints.
3D Resin Wall Art by BubblegumgirlDesigns
Handmade resin wall art from a Gloucester-based independent maker. Each piece is made to order — bold, joyful and completely unlike anything you’ll find on the high street.
Pastel Ice Cream Cones
Six resin ice cream cones in individual pastel shadow boxes — pink, blue, mint, lilac, yellow and lemon. Choose your colourway to match the room.

Pink Sprinkle Lollies
Four resin lollies dipped in rainbow sprinkles, framed in soft lilac. The most photogenic piece in the range — and the one most likely to stop visitors in their tracks.

Making wall art is often more meaningful than buying it — particularly for older girls who want a bedroom that reflects something they have actually done rather than simply purchased. DIY kits bridge that gap well: they produce a finished piece good enough to frame and display, while the process itself has genuine value as a slow, screen-free creative activity.
Embroidery Kits
Embroidery wall art brings a tactile, three-dimensional quality to a bedroom wall that prints cannot match. Finished hoops can be displayed as wall hangings, framed for a more polished look, or grouped in sets of three or four as part of a gallery wall. The craft is forgiving for beginners and scales well — more experienced stitchers can attempt larger, more detailed designs.
Rainbow Embroidery Kit
Soft pastel tones and a botanical-adjacent design — suits a cottagecore, boho or Scandi bedroom aesthetic.
Seahorse Embroidery Kit
An underwater-themed design for girls with a nature or adventure-inspired bedroom scheme.
Mountain and Sunset Embroidery Kit
Paint by Numbers Kits
Paint by numbers has had a genuine creative revival — the finished pieces are now good enough to frame, and the process is accessible regardless of artistic experience. For girls who love colour but find a blank canvas daunting, a kit is an ideal starting point.
DottedKits takes the format further than most. The birth flower kits are based on the flowers associated with each month of the year, so the finished piece is personal in a way a generic floral design never could be. The custom pet kit goes further still — send a photo of her dog, cat or rabbit and it becomes the canvas. For girls with a beloved pet, there is nothing quite like it.
All kits come with everything needed: paints, brushes and a hanging poster frame ready to display when finished.
DIY Paint Kits by DottedKits
Paint by numbers kits that produce results good enough to frame — and personal enough to mean something. Each kit includes paints, brushes and a hanging poster frame, ready to go straight on the wall when finished.

The most personal wall art a girl’s bedroom can have is something she made herself. modocreative takes children’s drawings and transforms them into laser-cut wooden artworks, hand painted and framed in an oak box frame. Send the drawing, choose your background colour, and the original sketch comes back as a piece that will genuinely last — a bestseller with over 8,000 five-star reviews for good reason.
For younger girls, more conventional personalised prints — a name, an initial, a birth constellation map — give a real sense of ownership over their space. For older girls, the more interesting territory is custom art that reflects something personal but less literal: a print of their favourite city, a bespoke illustration in a style they love, or a map of somewhere that matters.
Key things to look for in personalised prints: a seller who offers multiple size options, quality card stock (300gsm minimum for art prints), and a preview before printing. Etsy is the best source for this category — many UK-based sellers can turn around orders within a few days.
Personalised Wall Art for Girls’ Bedrooms
From a child’s own drawing transformed into a keepsake artwork, to name prints and constellation maps — personalised wall art gives a girl’s bedroom something no off-the-shelf print can match.

View on EtsyWall Decals
Wall decals are the most practical choice for girls’ bedrooms precisely because they are not permanent. They apply cleanly to a smooth painted surface, come down without damage, and can be changed as tastes evolve — which matters in a room that tends to go through several distinct phases between age five and fifteen.
The range available has improved dramatically. The best contemporary decals have a quality and considered aesthetic that sits comfortably alongside framed art rather than competing with it. Scattered botanical stems work particularly well in older girls’ rooms where the effect is subtle and the decal reads almost as wallpaper. For younger girls, illustrative fairy and woodland scenes create an immersive atmosphere that prints alone rarely achieve.
One practical note: decals adhere best to a smooth, fully dry painted surface. On freshly painted walls, wait at least four weeks before applying.
Wall Decals for Girls’ Bedrooms
Removable, renter-friendly and far more beautiful than they used to be — the best wall decals now sit comfortably alongside framed art rather than replacing it.

Scattered botanical stems in soft pink — subtle enough to work in an older girl’s room and pretty enough for a younger one. A bestseller with 4,000 five-star reviews.

View on EtsyHow to Style a Gallery Wall in a Girl’s Bedroom
A gallery wall is the most flexible way to display girls bedroom wall art — it can grow and change alongside her, with individual pieces swapped out as tastes evolve. The key is getting the underlying structure right before hanging anything.
Start with the anchor piece. Choose the largest or most visually significant item — a canvas, a large framed print, or a macramé hanging — and treat everything else as supporting it. Position the anchor slightly off-centre for a more natural, editorial feel.
Mix formats deliberately. A combination of framed prints, unframed art, and one textured piece (macramé, an embroidery hoop, a small woven hanging) will always look more considered than a wall of identical frames.
Lay it out on the floor first. Before making a single hole, arrange the full grouping on the floor and photograph it. This reveals spacing issues and awkward size relationships that are invisible when you are looking at individual pieces.
Frame consistently or not at all. Matching black frames read clean and modern. Matching natural wood frames feel warmer and more relaxed. Mixing frame materials only works if there is a clear intentional logic — all antique-effect frames, for example, or all frames in the same wood tone. Random mixed framing tends to look unresolved.
Eye level is not universal. Art is conventionally hung at adult eye level (around 145–150cm to the centre). In a child’s bedroom, consider dropping everything by 15–20cm so the art sits at her eye level — it changes how the room feels to be in.

FAQs
What is the best wall art for a girl’s bedroom?
The best girls bedroom wall art is the kind that reflects her specific personality rather than a generic idea of what girls like. Botanical prints, anime art, quote typography, and handmade macramé or embroidery are all strong choices that suit a range of ages and bedroom styles. A mix of formats — framed prints, a textured hanging, and one personalised piece — tends to produce the most considered result.
What size wall art works best above a bed?
As a general rule, artwork above a bed should span roughly two-thirds of the bed’s width. For a single bed (90cm), a piece or grouping of around 60cm wide works well. For a double (135cm), aim for around 90cm. A group of smaller prints hung together can achieve the same visual weight as a single large piece.
How do I choose wall art that will last as my daughter grows?
Avoid art that is too closely tied to a specific character or trend — these date quickly. Botanical prints, abstract art, nature-themed pieces and quality typography tend to have the longest decorative life. For character-specific art, use lower-commitment formats like decals or unframed prints so they are easy to swap out.
Is it better to buy prints framed or unframed?
Unframed prints with a separately sourced frame almost always produce a better result. High-street frames from IKEA, Dunelm or Habitat can be found in standard print sizes (A4, A3, A2, 50x70cm) at a fraction of what framed prints from art retailers charge. The quality of the glass and mount is usually better too.
How do I hang wall art safely in a child’s bedroom?
Use proper wall fixings appropriate to the wall type — hollow wall anchors for plasterboard, masonry fixings for brick or block. Command strips are adequate for lightweight prints (under 500g) but should not be used for heavier canvases or 3D pieces. Check fixings regularly, especially in younger children’s rooms.
Where can I buy girls bedroom wall art in the UK?
Etsy is the strongest source for independent and personalised prints, with many UK-based sellers offering fast turnaround.
