Fantasy maps are magical! Seriously, I always look for a map in the front of my fantasy books ( who doesn’t?!)
The artwork and detail that goes into them are beautiful. I could spend hours looking at them. So what’s my point? Well, they also make stunning home decor.
They come in all different sizes. You can choose to display one big fantasy map. Or you could create a gallery wall of your favourites. Likewise, you can get download options online.

9. Fake Wisteria
My Pinterest recently has been bombarded with images of wisteria and ivy adorning bedrooms. And it makes bedrooms look so whimsical and enchanting. Perfect if you’re after an aesthetic fairy or garden themed bedroom.
This would look particularly good with fairy lights woven between the wisteria. You can also buy faux ivy and wisteria for a reasonable price on Amazon.
10. Mushroom lamp
How beautiful is this mushroom lamp? I’m seriously obsessed.
If you’re looking for fantasy decor with fairytale or cottagecore vibes then this would be absolutely perfect.
The creator of the lamp writes how the inspiration for this lamp came from her mom who has a sleeping disorder. They tried to help but without success. One day, they made the mushroom lamp and their mom fell in love the warm light.
12. Peel and stick wallpaper
Wallpaper can completely transform a bedroom. The problem is, not all of us can commit to wallpapering a room. The answer? Peel and Stick Wallpaper. You can peel it off afterwards with no damage. Ideal if you need renter friendly decor.
This starry decor reminded me of Velaris. If you’re a Sarah J Maas fan this would look beautiful decorating a room. And the star print is ideal if you want fantasy style decor but with an elegant finish.
13. Elven Valley book nook
Looking for bookshelf decor? Miniature book nooks are perfect. These shelf inserts slot in between your books and let you peer into a miniature world.
You can get miniature book nooks for many different fandoms. From Medusa to Alice in Wonderland and magical pharmacies, you can find a book nook for every style and taste.
You can see a tiny little waterfall at the back of this Elven Valley book nook. Made from wood and crafted using lazor cutting, they also offer a bookend version. And an option for personalisation – something I don’t often see with book nooks.
14. Dragon Wall stickers
Dragons and fantasy books go hand in hand. When I think fantasy room ideas, dragons instantly spring to mind. I am obsessed with these dragon wall stickers.
These 3d wall stickers include adhesive tabs. Allowing you to easily stick these on your room and remove without fuss. Perfect for renters.
Plus, you can buy these in a huge range of colours – from pink and purple to gold. So you can find a colour to match your interiors.
15. Replica Swords
What comes to mind when you think fantasy books? For me, swords and dragons. Replica swords are readily available on Etsy and an easy way to decorate you room with the fantasy aesthetic in mind.
You can hang these on the wall as part of a fantasy gallery wall. Pair with special editions of books, wall decor and prints.
You can buy replica swords for most fandoms. From Legend of Zelda to Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. And they are guaranteed to make a statement in any room. I’ve left an example below for inspiration. Replica swords are perfect for fans of the medieval fantasy aesthetic.
16. Studio Ghibli wall art
The artwork in Studio Ghibli is stunning. You could create the most magical Studio Ghibli inspired bedroom.
You can find tons of beautiful Studio Ghibli prints online. I love these Sumi-e Japanese Ink brush Studio Ghibli prints.
These prints look beautiful framed individually or combined with other prints for a gallery wall. The greyscale colours would match with many different interior styles.

Narnia has one of the most magical fantasy worlds. The problem is, most Narnia inspired interiors involve costly renovations. But this cute reading nook is a simple but magical idea.

20. Combine dark wood furniture and jewel colours with fandom merch
This room tour from Koriel Creations is stunning. And I am obsessed with her house. You can take so much inspiration from this house tour.
But the dark wood furniture, mood lighting and jewel colours stood out to me. They created such a cozy fantasy atmosphere in her house. Especially when combined with fantasy merch. From ‘Speak Friend and Enter’ signs to dragons.
