Bed Head: Decorating with Headboards

A popular interior design trend, headboards are making a comeback. Decorating a room with a headboard instead of a standard bed is a smart choice for several different reasons. A headboard can easily be replaced with a new one that gives the bedroom an entirely different look. Because the bed will just have a headboard, it can make a smaller-sized bedroom or a guest room feel more spacious and roomier since a bed without the footboard tends to open up the room. It is largely the headboard that defines the bed, makes a fashion statement, acts as the bedroom’s main focal point and creates the mood.

 

Headboards as Lifestyle Solutions

 

When you are just purchasing the headboard, you can focus on matching it more closely to you and your lifestyle. If you read in bed often, consider a bookcase headboard like the Prepac Slant-Back Tall Full / Queen Bookcase Headboard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prone to allergies? Select a wood headboard or a metal headboard. Or choose a headboard like the Fashion Bed Group Dunhill Wood Headboard made of a combination of wood and metal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you’ve purchased a platform bed in the past that didn’t have a headboard or a footboard, and now you find it too stark or bare, but don’t want to replace the bed, consider adding a low-profile headboard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Headboards as Design Solutions

 

You can breathe new life into a tired room by updating the bed’s look. But make sure that style you choose for the headboard matches the furniture currently in the room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A bed like the American Drew Sonata Bookcase Storage Headboard Set might be the ideal solution for a room with little or no closet space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a bedroom, the bed is the natural focal point. In a room that needs that little something extra, use a textured, patterned or upholstered headboard to create visual interest. The metal lattice design of the Standard Las Cruses Full / Queen Panel Headboard brings an element of surprise into the room.
