Decorating With A Fabric Covered Headboard

By Kerri Stout


You are satisfied with your decorating scheme in your room except for your bed. It looks plain and ordinary and you are thinking about how much nicer it would look with a fabric covered headboard. This is a unique and versatile method of selecting the perfect materials to match your decor.

These bed additions have many different advantages. They are not costly as compared to some other materials such as wrought iron or wood. Maintenance and cleaning is easy. Multiple styles are available to shoppers and it is not necessary to add a foot board, which can block views and television screens.

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.

A variety of styles are available. They can be very simple, ornate, curved, rectangular, high, or low. Sizes can be found or custom made for any size bed whether it be a king, queen, full or twin bed. If you own an irregular size of bed, the headboard can be designed especially for that model.

Fabrics are also very varied and the piece can be made of anything from polyester, linen, silk or micro-suede. Choose the look that best fits the personality of the room. For example, if you have a truly masculine-style decor in a room, a dark brown suede with a tan or brown patterned comforter would be absolutely perfect for the confirmed bachelor or single businessman.

Special upholstery touches can make a huge difference. The extra padding will make it look richer and more eleant. Deeper tufts will look truly refined and nail heads can give a masculine touch to the furnishings. For children's styles, attempt to eliminate any buttons, nail heads or other extras that can be pull from the furnishing.

Two-tone fabrics, floral materials, large checks or a combinations of varnished wood trim and an upholstered back will give a distinctive look to your purchase. The use of taller headboards can give the illusion of height in the room. Posts can be added to Early American or French Provincial styles to help them blend with the main style in the room. For children's rooms, seek out unusual prints and designs that will reflect the personalities of the occupants.

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.
