Rest in Style with Handsome Headboards
A carefully chosen headboard can serve as the focal point of a bedroom. You're no longer limited to traditional wood or metal -- today's headboards are upholstered in exotic fabrics, double as space-saving storage units, and serve as dramatic room dividers. Get inspired with these innovative ideas that succeed in blending style and comfort.
Coordinating the fabric of an upholstered headboard with drapery and other decor accents creates continuity throughout a bedroom. I like how this bedroom creates an air of cohesiveness without being too "matchy-matchy" -- the oversized plaid pattern of the headboard serves as an interesting coordinate to the solid window panels and valance.
Who says a headboard has to be perfectly flush against the wall or perpendicular to the bed? By positioning it at a slight angle as shown here, you can infuse a funky, contemporary style into your bedroom furnishings.
