Bedroom headboards hit two targets with one arrow as it has function and design merged into one: It provides protection to the bed user and an added aesthetic to the overall look of the room.
The headboard is a piece of furniture that is attached to the head of a bed, against the wall, back of the bed frame, providing a barrier between the bed and the wall. This helps prevent pillows from falling behind the bed, and supports the bed frame and mattress.
Headboards come in different styles, design, and materials and that it is important that it matches your bedroom theme. Some common examples of the headboard are:
Upholstered headboard. They are covered in fabric or leather and provide a soft and padded surface to lean against. They are available in various colors that you can match with your room.
Wooden headboard. These can be made from various types of wood, such as oak, pine, or walnut, and come in different finishes and designs. They vary from simple slatted or panel designs to intricately carved or engraved styles.
Metal headboard. Metal headboards are typically made of iron or brass and add an elegant or contemporary touch to your bedroom.
Tufted headboard. This type of headboard is common in modern bedrooms. The tufted headboard is usually upholstered and has a deep button or stitch tufting, creating a plush, luxurious, and elegant appearance.
Padded headboard. Padded headboards are also found in upholstered designs. They are cushioned and can be made with various materials like foam to create a soft and cozy surface, providing additional support.
This bedroom provides a good example of a padded headboard. Like the upholstered one, this is made up of soft material that stands in between the wall and the bed. This customized headboard came in dark gray to match the other elements in the bedroom such as soft gray curtain, the gray bed frame, and complements the other colors in the room’s color palette, such as the black coffee table and the black tuxedo couch. Notice the deep button stitching in the tuxedo couch? Imagine that type of stitching and put it in the headboard and that’s where you will get what a tufted headboard looks like. Choosing your headboard in a neutral color allows flexibility should you want to change your room’s color palette in future. So if you’re the type who likes switching things up from time to time, having a neutral colored headboard can accommodate your new color palette when you decide to change other elements next time.
