When designing a bedroom, it’s natural to make one of the main pieces of furniture a headboard. A large, tufted headboard is at the top of many wish lists, but there are many other options for stylish headboards! Let’s explore what your bedroom could look like with a slightly less conventional headboard.
- Statement art: We love to hang a large piece of statement art above the bed. For a contemporary look, go with an abstract painting in similar or contrasting shades as your bedroom’s palette. For a more feminine and relaxing look, try commissioned piece done in an impressionist style.
- Wainscoting: Does your bedroom already have beautiful wainscoting? Take advantage of it! You can paint it a gorgeous color for a “headboard” that extends across the entire wall.
- Floating shelves: Floating shelves holding a few of your favorite books and small pieces of art can serve as a way to express your personality. Take the time to curate each side of the bed with your partner.
- Curtains: For a children’s room, consider framing a bed with airy curtains hung from the ceiling instead of a headboard. A neutral color will last through their many style changes over the years.
- Photo ledge: Hang a single, long photo shelf the width of the bed and showcase your favorite photos in varying frame sizes, leaning against the wall.
- Accent wall: Wallcovering is coming back, and we’re loving it! Consider using a bold, printed wallcovering as an accent wall behind the bed.
- Gallery wall: We use gallery walls in the living room, but why not the bedroom? A gallery wall of photos or paintings in varying frame sizes and styles is a great way to bring art into your bedroom.
- Window: If your bedroom has a large window with privacy, consider using it as an anchor for your bed.
