Headboard to toe

So I have been given one of my 1st missions! Finding a fun floral fabric for a MASTER BEDROOM HEADBOARD! I'm going to search for appropriate and accessible fabric options as well as fun headboard styles!

There are so many different headboard options! Different shapes, sizes, weights even materials! Headboards are easy to construct as a DIY. Step one in creating your own headboard for your bed would be selecting a style.

Tip 1:Keep in mind the headboard can and most likely will be a focal point in the room.
Make sure your headboard will reinforce your room style. You probably wouldn't use the next image if you wanted a ZEN room. Are ya following?
If you are looking for a modern look, stick to linear headboard options, and dress it with a neutral fabric, or keep it wooden and consider stains. (See the last image in this section! It is a great example of a minimal headboard. It has a darker stain creating a contrast between the lighter walls. BAM! focal point! Your eye goes directly to it! Also there are darker accents in the pillows and bedding that reflect the headboard giving purpose to the dark headboard by creating a rhythm through the room.



Notice the detail on the headboard, they used a nice orange piping highlighting the shape and movement in the headboard. It also helps break up the busy fabric pattern. Nice touch.








WITCH ONE IS YOUR FAVORITE?
