Ever since we moved I have been on the lookout for headboard ideas. In our last apartment, the only place our bed fit was in front of the only window in the bedroom. I have always loved upholstered headboards, and knew I eventually wanted one for our bed, but I didn’t want to block the only natural light in the room, so we went headboardless. Now that we are in a different space, our bed is against a wall and is in much need of a headboard.
In high school and college my parents and I made upholstered headboards for my bed at home and my bed in my college apartment, and for my sister’s bed. Once you have the materials and know what you want it to look like, making an upholstered headboard really is not that difficult, but there are also some great deals on headboards out there if you aren’t crafty or if you don’t have space and materials to make your own.
After lots of pinning and looking at online home tours, I still feel like I have too many ideas in mind before we buy or make a headboard. Should we get one that is rectangular or has some curves? Do we want one that is tufted or not tufted? Wings or no wings, and if yes wings, is the widest part at the top or bottom? Nail heads or no nail heads? The one thing I think I have decided on is the color, neutral, which can still vary widely. There are so many decisions and a headboard is so large that I really feel like I need to love it and commit to what I choose for a long time. I have found a few that I like that are linked below, and maybe someday soon I will figure out which one I want.
Love.
