Though the headboard comes from a history of utilitarian purposes like many furniture pieces, it has now moved to a aesthetic detail used in bedrooms around the world. There are as many to choose from and can be customized any way a person wishes.  When I think of headboards sometimes my mind reflects back when wood headboards were more common in peoples homes. This is still a very lovely look especially with the decorative carvings many of them have. This is a more traditional look but depending on the finish could become very transitional.  Fabric headboards can be done in many ways. Either a more traditional style with shape and fabric (above) or more minimalist, contemporary look (see below). Add nailheads or tufted or simply upholstered with no additions. This is a great way to add color, texture or pattern to your space.  For a while, iron headboards were the rage. I remember having a daybed which had bedknobs on the four corners. I used to imagine I was going to take off like in one of my all time favorite, childhood movies, 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks'. Nowadays, I prefer the unusual and funky iron headboards like below.  There are so many possibilities you could go mad looking at them all. Even though we don't need them anymore for additional insulation from cold climates, they are still a wanted design element in many bedrooms.  I like the simplified color palette in this room.  Bright and fun for a guest room or a teenager!  The quiet color scheme here is very restful and soothing. Our wonderful vendor can make a headboard in whatever design we ask but this is one of their designs which can be customized with the fabric of your choice.  This is a great transitional and funky wood headboard! |
