Headboards/ Bed Heads

Adding a headboard to your sleeping space can be the finishing touch to creating a beautiful bedroom.

They come in many different styles and can be used with ensembles or in combination with a bed frame.

Upholstered Headboards can be piped with contrasting fabric, buttoned or scalloped. The fabric you choose, could either be neutral, bold or patterend for a more dramatic effect.

The fabric or colour used on the headboard could co-ordinated with other furniture pieces or accessories in the room. They anchor the room in a way, bringing everything together and creating a focal point.

 

Timber is another option, with natural or white painted, being popular..

Thinking outside the square, screens, re-claimed doors, frames, or even paint can be used to create a beautiful headboard.

So when you’re decorating your bedroom, consider using a headboard. It can really add a touch of luxury to your boudoir!!
