Using A Fabric Covered Headboard To Spruce Up Your Bedroom

By Kerri Stout


Everything looks absolutely perfect in your bedroom except for your bed. It is hard to match the other furnishings and accessories to just any type of bed frame so you are considering a fabric covered headboard to finish it off. This is a great method of finding the perfect material to add to and match your bedroom decor.

There are many advantages to using these bed additions. They are fairly inexpensive as compared to wood or metal styles. They are easily cleaned and maintained. The selections are many and can be found in physical stores and online. No foot board is necessary. In fact, sometimes it is better to be without one as they obstruct views from windows or glass walls or block the view to a television screen. These are exactly some of the reasons that you rarely find foot boards in hotel or motel rooms.

You can utilize materials that will make the bed addition pop against a painted wall or paneling. It can enhance the entire look of the bedroom by adding a touch more of style and texture. For example, in a nautical decor, a dark blue style against a light blue painted wall will add so much more of an aquatic theme to the entire room.

These models can be selected and purchased in many styles. They can be straight, curved, ornate, rectangular or very simple. The many sizes available include full, queen, king or twin bed dimensions. If you own a very unusual or odd-sized bed, they can be custom made.

There is a wide selection of upholstery available and the model can be made with anything from silk, suede, micro-suede, heavy canvas, or polyester. Make your choice of the one that best fits the personality of the room and the person who will be inhabiting it. For example, a young teen girl may really love a purple or pink silk style.

Special touches can make it even more appealing. The more padding used, the more elegant it will look. Deep tufts will also add elegance and a nail head trim can make the impact more traditional. Eliminate any buttons, nail heads or extras for children's styles as they can be pulled off or damaged.

Some variations most don't think of could include floral patterns, checks, plaids, two-tone material, and even an interesting combinations of an upholstered style with a wooden trim. Adding tall headboards can make a tiny, close-in room feel bigger with the illusion of more vertical space. Early American or French Provincial posts can be easily added to the sides of different models so the furnishings will all match. Adding vintage children's print material to the models chosen can add instant impact to a youngster's room.

With this type of addition to your bedroom, changes can be made quickly and inexpensively to fit any new decor or color that is selected. A reputable upholsterer can easily and effortlessly replace the outdated material and replace it with new styles for an updated and refreshing new look.
