Customised Headboards Ooze Personality
You can plump for plush cushions, follow expert advice on wall colour and agonise over carpets, rugs and wooden floors, but if you really want to give your bedroom a polished finish you need to consider a bed headboard. Your bed is generally the focal point of your bedroom, it is, after all, why the room is there, but without a headboard it can look bare and the room can lack the homely feel that you’re looking for.
Stenciled Bed Headboard
Headboards are available in a range of styles and can be adapted to suit the décor of your room. For instance, you can play down an ornate French bed or glam up a plain old double bed with a simple wooden headboard or embellished leather headboard respectively. These days, many bed manufacturers and suppliers provide customers with an option to customise their headboards. Some will give you a set of options with regard to fabric and colour, allowing you to choose the look of your headboard as far as borders, panels, buttons and stitching are concerned. Other companies give you free rein; you send them the fabric of your choice and they work according to your specifications.
If you know you want your bed’s headboard to be something special, but you’re not sure what your options are, you can browse home décor and design magazines and websites that are bursting with modern trends and timeless fashions. Basically, the only limit is your creativity (and perhaps your budget). You should, however, take careful note of the size of your room and work within reasonable constraints. For instance, if you have a super king size bed that already dominates your room you might want to keep your headboard simple. Wooden headboards made from oak or pine work well to tone down the opulence of a large bed, while metal or wall-mounted headboards work wonders in limited space.
Contemporary Headboard with Shelving
If space isn’t an issue you can try some contemporary headboard designs that incorporate shelving and book cases, or that extend up a large surface of the wall above your bed. You can also experiment with different fabric textures and colours with removable upholstered headboards, so you can mix ‘n match bed linen and colours to your heart’s content.
A customised bed headboard allows you to enhance the feel of your bedroom in a more personal way than carpets, wall paper or bed linen. Isn’t it time you started experimenting?
