Car posters for bedrooms
Speed Record from £15.99. Free UK delivery.
Car posters for a bedroom have to pass a harder test than garage art: you fall asleep looking at them. Loud photography dates fast. Original art lasts. Deco Metropolis was practically made for a bedroom: an elegant coupe before stepped skyscrapers and a stylised moon, in calm midnight blue and gold. 1930: The Roadster, one continuous line on cream, sits quietly in the decor by day and rewards a long look by night.
Size matters more in bedrooms than anywhere else. A3 suits the wall over a desk or bedside. A2 holds the space over a headboard. 50 x 70 cm wants the main wall to itself. Framed prints behave better than bare posters in bedrooms, flatter and neater with no curling corners, and a natural wood frame softens the look for a shared room.
For the most personal version, Your car as art turns a photo of your own car into art for the bedroom wall. The single line style on cream is the quietest custom car print there is. 1930: The Roadster is in the shop, not in the grid below.

Bedroom sizes and where to hang them
Measure the space first and pick the size that leaves room around it. A print should look placed, not squeezed. Hang it so its centre sits roughly at eye level for someone standing, about 145 to 155 cm from the floor. Over a bed, leave 15 to 25 cm above the headboard so it stays clear of your head when you sit up.
| Wall | Size | In mm | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Over a desk or bedside | A3 | 297 x 420 | Framed poster |
| Over a single headboard | A2 | 420 x 594 | Framed poster |
| Over a double headboard | 50 x 70 cm | 500 x 700 | Poster or canvas |
| A whole feature wall | 70 x 100 cm | 700 x 1000 | Poster in your own frame |
Calm colours suit a bedroom: midnight blue, cream and soft gold. Canvas has no glass, which helps in a room with a window opposite the bed. Our car poster size guide has the full table.

Common questions
What size car poster for above a bed?
A2 at least. A3 looks lost over a double bed. 50 x 70 cm if the wall is otherwise empty.
Will a dark print make the room feel small?
No. A deep palette adds depth. Pair it with a black frame and the print reads as a window, not a block.
What suits a shared bedroom?
The single-line 1930: The Roadster: car enough for the enthusiast, art enough for the partner.
