Ultimately, the ideal texture depends on your desired aesthetic and the overall feel you want to create in your bedroom.
The occupant works at her desk while her husband naps on the chaise, Hilliard tells us. The Lee Jofa block-printed grass cloth wall covering is soft enough to inspire both productivity and snoozes and the golden hue accentuates the sunlight further.
A printed grass cloth will make the natural fibers look even more texture-rich and dimensional.

1. Use a Flat Plaster Paddle
When applied with a flat plaster paddle rather than a roller or brush, paint will give your walls some three-dimensional oomph. This light mossy green wall looks more like a work of art and feels fully integrated into the space instead of just blending in as a backdrop.
Feature an Optical Illusion
In sitting room designed by Cameron Ruppert Interiors, the pearlized ink dots on Phillip Jeffries’ Rivets wallcovering resemble nailheads, a look reflected in the actual metal studs on the green velvet sofa. So when it doubt, opt for a printed wallpaper that creates the optical illusion of texture.
Whitewash Wood Panels
Keep things simple with ash wood paneling. If you already have paneled walls but want to lighten them up, whitewash your panels by watering down your paint. Then brush it on, immediately wipe it, and repeat this until you get your desired color.
Opt for Lacquered Paint
The glossy shine of lacquered paint can make the room feel larger. It has a similar effect to a mirror, as the high-shine finish allows for highlights and reflection. Envelop the whole space in it from floor to ceiling for a glossy impact.
Deaden Sound with Padded Velvet
When installed over cotton batting, the silk velvet Designer’s Guild fabric in this room by Alison Pickart is even more decadent —and also deadens sound, which is ideal for a cozy bedroom.
Use Faux Animal Skin
Designer Tom Stringer chose a Ralph Lauren faux crocodile wallpaper to bring texture and a sultry punch to the otherwise clean, classic space. “Dark colors resonate when they have a little gloss over them,” he tells HB.
Use Neutral Tiles
Who says tiles are limited to the bathroom or kitchen? Line them up your wall in a neutral clay hue for extra dimension.
Go with a Neutral Grass cloth
Grasscloth wallpaper has the warmth you’d expect from fabrics and introduces more texture than other wallpaper substrates since it’s made from natural fibers. We love this deep chocolate brown hue for a cozy setting.
Leave It As-Is
Incorporating mirrored metallics, stone, wood, and plenty of plush throws, this room is covering all the texture bases. We’re feeling that stone wall around the wood burning fireplace in particular. The modern updates make it feel on-trend instead of outdated, as does painting everything white.
Embrace Architectural Bones
For a lived-in feel, keep your bricks exposed. If you don’t love the industrial look, then add splashes of paint and/or a wallpaper accent. Then incorporate plenty of upholstered pieces to ensure warmth.
Color-block With Tiles
If you don’t want to tile your entire wall, just go half way. The seamless transition from floor to wall is super unique, so bring your color-blocking to the next level with a hexagon scheme like this one.
Although the choice of texture for the bedroom walls is highly subjective, dependent on the homeowner’s preferences and the aesthetics of the room, some textures like wood, stone, and textured paint can serve as versatile options for any bedroom design.
