What is the one defining element no bedroom should be without? A beautiful headboard. Your headboard is an opportunity to express your style and personality while creating a welcoming and cozy bedroom environment. How does it work? Here are a few ideas gleaned from our gorgeous model homes:
Headboards 101
When choosing a headboard, there are some things you should take into consideration. Your headboard should be proportionate to the bed and the room. It should complement the existing décor. Don’t choose style over substance. Your headboard should be practical in that it is easy to clean and supports your bedroom activities. Keep comfort in mind — you will be resting your head against it, after all.
A Little Luxury
Any headboard can look stylish, but for true luxury, try upholstery. Choose a fabric that complements your bedroom’s color scheme and texture for a soft and inviting look. Tufted headboards have a classic appeal that never goes out of style. They add a sense of sophistication and elegance to any bedroom.
A Little Distressed
Whether you call it shabby chic or vintage, a reclaimed wood headboard brings a touch of rustic charm to your space. Weathered and distressed wood adds character and warmth to modern or traditional bedrooms. Repurposed vintage doors can make for a unique and eclectic headboard.
Go Metal
A brass headboard says old-fashioned. A sleek metal headboard screams contemporary.
Opt for clean lines and geometric shapes to achieve a minimalistic — yet striking — design.
Bookish Delight
Bookworms love having their favorite novels within easy reach, and you can’t get much easier than a bookshelf headboard. It combines storage and style, allowing you to showcase your favorite books. Don’t have favorite books? Showcase personal memorabilia, plants or art instead.
Mirror, Mirror
A mirrored headboard can create the illusion of a larger space and adds a touch of glamour to your bedroom. It reflects light and creates a stunning visual effect.
Embrace Your Inner Artist
Consider a headboard that doubles as a piece of art. Whether it’s a painted mural, a gallery wall or a custom-designed piece, an artistic headboard can make a powerful statement.
