Ten Art Prints to Spruce-Up Your Bedroom

Naturally, we’re all about bedrooms. As we see it, they’re the cosiest room in the house and the one place you’re guaranteed to find refuge and comfort in (especially if you have Amurelle bed sheets…). Excuse the shameless plug, but seriously: it’s the sole environment representative of you, your unique aesthetic and your individual style, no matter what your living circumstances are. Plus - most importantly - it’s where you sleep. I think we’ve made our case.

One of the easiest and most effective ways to instantly reflect your personality onto a room, is to (quite literally) hang it on the walls. So, we’ve curated a selection of ten prints to get your search started.

“The Original Irish Nude Artist”, Clíodhna’s pieces have become recognisable instantly across the creative industry.

8. Áine Byrne

A weaver by trade, Áine is interested in the mutability and memory of materials; their function, texture, colour and potential to be remade. This curiosity is evident in each of her compositions. Rhythm, pattern and colour are recurring elements, investigating the reappropriation and reforming of materials and the contrast between soft and hard, as well as industrial and domestic. In simple terms, it’s hard to decide whether you’re looking at a body, or a building.
