Headboard is a bedroom furniture piece, usually found at the head of a bed. Its function is to provide somewhere for a person’s head to rest when lying down. Headboards often not only act as support for one’s head, but also as a decorative accessory in any bedroom and can be used to display items such as photographs and paintings. Headboards are sometimes made from carved wood or heavy fabrics such as velvet or satin and can be embellished with other materials such as gold leaf, beads or mirrors.
Tips for buying a Headboard
1. You need to be clear about the size of your bed. You don’t want a headboard that’s too small or too big for your bed. It needs to fit perfectly.
2. It is also essential that you understand the height of your headboard and your choice of pillows. Measure the height of both before selecting a headboard. Your pillow should come up to where your neck meets your shoulder, and there shouldn’t be hard pressure at this point while laying on the pillow (your head should rest on top, not inside).
3. If you are looking for something to draw the focus of your room, then your headboard has to be eye-catching.
4. Before buying a headboard, it is crucial that you consider the size of your bed and whether there would be space on your bed to fit a headboard. Your bed linen will accommodate all shapes and sizes of headboards.
5. You can buy a black or white wooden headboard that includes an elegant Victorian style with carved molding and scroll work. You can also opt for a contemporary approach using endless plaid in different shades of blue or green and paint it to match your bedroom interior in shades of yellows, oranges, browns and reds.
In conclusion, a headboard is a great place to start if you’re looking to update your master bedroom, guest room or kids’ room. A headboard can really make a room! But there are so many choices and decisions to be made.
