Unique Headboards

We often find that living rooms are more interesting than bedrooms. This is usually because bedrooms are rather limited when it comes to layouts and furniture. However, one of the easiest ways to transform a bedroom is by working on the headboard. Headboards create the focal point in any bedroom and can add a lot of character, making it difficult for your eyes to look away. 

Today, anything behind the bed constitutes for a headboard. Paste a decal on the wall behind the bed and you have a headboard. Hang a rug back there: headboard. There are so many ways of doing it that there is no right or wrong when it comes to your headboard. And why should there be? After all, the world has so many different people that it's only fair they do it their way!

Floor to Ceiling Headboards

Headboards that end at the ceiling or go beyond it are ideal for larger rooms with wide walls. These headboards create grandeur with their size as the eye is exposed to the design in a larger than normal proportion. 

Reclaimed wood looks stunning anywhere, in any amount. Hence Proved!

For contemporary homes that seek comfort, this tufted headboard is a great alternative. Their sporadic square pattern adds a lot of depth and design to this simple room.
The wall behind the bed makes up for its simplicity with rectangular glass panels and similar slabs on the ceiling. A modern concept with deep tones, this design looks rich.

Glowing Headboards

Shape and texture are not the only ways in which headboards can be played with. Adding light to headboards...either as cove lights, back light or rope lights enhance the entire design and add another dimension to the entire look.

Color Color...

Color works its magic on simple designs. Even on headboards, a dash of color can really make the focal point of your room much more artistic, bold and unique.
