Headboard Design Ideas

Interior design trends have allowed the strangest of design fusions to combine and create eclectic spaces with each element having distinct characteristics that result in unique yet harmonious interior spaces. To design in unfamiliar grounds is to test the boundaries of functionality and aesthetics. It involves taking risks and exploring different possibilities and awesome opportunities that will yield an efficient and beautiful outcome. In the case of bedroom headboard designs, the challenge is to select a piece that will blend into the interior scheme of the place as well as provide a fancy accent that is pleasing and appealing to the occupant of the bedroom.

Your choice of modern or traditional headboard will greatly depend on the design of your bed and the rest of the furniture pieces, interior structure finishes and accessories inside the bedroom. If you have a traditional bed with elaborate carvings made of solid mahogany wood, then a conventional design with similar carvings and tall height that can compensate for the massiveness of traditional masculine beds will be the wisest choice.

Canopied headboards are attractive to the eyes and the richest silk fabrics can exude a very luscious and inviting atmosphere for the bedroom. To have an entire back wall as the headboard with customized shelves that tuck in the first parts of the head of the bed is a modern innovation. There are multifunctional headboards that are quite appropriate for condo living and other urban residential buildings that require more storage spaces and concentrated distribution of space. If possible at the other end of the shelves, a study table can be incorporated in the design so that the space is maximized. Headboards that are tiled from floor to ceiling are also a huge trend nowadays. Small glass mosaic tiles are just divine especially when they create colossal abstract images or realistic pictures of the scenes that the outside world is full of. Large slate, granite, marble and pebble stones are excellent choices for materials that will create a raw and organic look for a modern bedroom with an industrial look.

What is great about designing headboards is the freedom with which you can experiment with your ideas and find out where your imagination will take you. Padded headboards with your favorite colors alternating can add a splash of color to the bedroom as well as fun tufted headboards with velvet fabrics and unique buttons. You need not fret if you're overwhelmed with your choices because what will come out in the end is the innovative design that you have suggested to the carpenter or your interior designer. They should be able to show you a clear picture of your dream bedroom and of course, the perfect headboard that will compliment it.
