Why do you need a headboard?
The headboard of the bed is, first of all, one of the important parts of the product frame, which ensures reliability and safety. Its second important function is to create comfort for its user.
After all, a bed without a headboard is not as comfortable as with one: you can lean on the back and recline, read your favorite book before going to bed or watch TV. Third purpose: the headboard can be an excellent bedroom decor.
Features that are worth considering when choosing a headboard:- Wide and massive headboards take up quite a lot of space and make the room heavier, so they should not be considered for small rooms.

- A bed with a high headboard can radically change the interior of a room and emphasize the unsurpassed taste of the bedroom owner.
- Before purchasing, be sure to take into account the style of the room so that both the material and design fit the overall interior - modern furniture manufacturers offer a wide variety of materials, the choice is yours.

Turquoise bedroom in high-tech style
The high-tech style is characterized by a commitment to high technology in the design of any room. A bedroom made in this style looks stylish, cozy, and at the same time conservative.
New lighting technologies and a clear layout are perfectly reflected against the background of azure walls, textiles, and furniture made in different shades of turquoise. The harmony of the interior will be complemented by curtains made in the same color as textiles, and decor with elements of glass inserts.
Tree
Wood - this is the most common option. The material is environmentally friendly, natural, durable and looks very beautiful. Natural wood for decoration is quite expensive, so you can consider modern analogues that are cheaper in price and not much different, for example, chipboard or MDF.
It is not difficult to work with such materials, so a wooden headboard can be made in various shapes and a variety of decor can be added to it (curly carving, varnish coating, the effect of old furniture, addition of fabric trim or eco-leather, etc.).
Backlight
Creating an original interior is the main desire of every person who makes renovations. Playing with light allows you to change the atmosphere of the room, add romance and intimacy. As a rule, two options are used to illuminate the bedside area:
- LED Strip Light . A single-color or multi-color ribbon is stretched at the top along the contour of the bed. In the first case, you will only need to purchase a tape (preferably a standard white one) and a power supply. For the second option, you will need a control panel with which you can select the desired color, an RGB controller. You must accurately determine the length by measuring the entire perimeter of the bed, and also find a place under the bed or behind the bedside table to mount the power supply.
- Duralight . If you run a special cord along the contour of the bed, you can achieve a soft decorative glow. You will need the duralight itself, fasteners, screws, as well as an electrical cable for connecting to the network.
Tip If you are going to make your own headboard, you can achieve an even stronger effect, for example, striped wood can hide the LED strips. The lighting will be soft and non-standard.
Metal
Metal beds are gaining popularity thanks to today's trendy interior styles: country, Provence, loft, scandi, oriental.
Metal headboards in the skillful hands of a craftsman can turn into a real work of art: openwork forging can make a visually heavy iron back incredibly light, this “cold” material can be transformed into a beautiful firebird or other thematic elements suitable for the interior.
Metal is a very durable material, but in relation to beds it gives it coldness and hardness - you need to be able to fit a metal headboard correctly into the interior, weighing all the pros and cons.

Stone and mosaic
Stone and mosaic look very interesting and unusual at the head of a bed; they attract attention both with their pattern and their unusual texture. A stone headboard will not retain heat well, and when you touch such a covering, you may even want to move away from it - so this is not the best choice.
If this option is the most preferable, then designers recommend making the headboard not entirely from stone, but diluting it and adding, for example, elements of wood or leather, you can hang a sconce with warm light.
Bedroom in turquoise shades in a minimalist style
Minimalism has always been famous for its penchant for simplicity.
There are no bulky details in the furnishings or frills in decoration. Bedrooms designed in a minimalist style are characterized by simple furniture, shelves made of natural wood, and a combination of metal and glass throughout the decor. The decoration of the bedroom can be an emphasis on textiles made in different shades of turquoise tones.
Textile
Textiles (furniture fabric, tulle, genuine leather, eco-leather) are often used and this is justified: the look of such backrests is spectacular and elegant. A bed with a soft headboard is very comfortable for the user, and in the interior it sets an atmosphere of comfort, warmth and luxury.
The type of fabric plays a significant role in the soft back. Thus, beds upholstered in velvet or velor will laconically complement a bedroom in the Baroque style, and a leather headboard will look advantageous in a classic interior; satin is appropriate in the Empire style.

Fabric and leather have a huge variety of colors and shades; they can be complemented with patterns, embroidery, beads and other elements. The soft upholstery of the bed can be finished with stitches of various shapes (diamonds or carriage stitches are more common).
For independent, extraordinary remodeling, bamboo stems, screens, wallpaper, pillows, woven tatami mats, and vintage carpets are often used.
Selecting the color
Before determining the style, you can understand the desired color effect. The color can be chosen to be non-contrasting (when the shades match the walls as closely as possible); low-contrast (if the color complements the shade of the walls, but does not merge with them); contrasting (the color on the headboard stands out against the background of the walls).
A contrasting color will highlight the furniture and make a bright accent. It will narrow the wall a little, but in large bedrooms it will not make the room heavier. Often non-contrasting or low-contrast shades are used for bedrooms. Pastel colors will suit all styles; in addition, they will not visually reduce the wall in the room due to contrast.
Popular shades are white, gray, beige, brown, black. They allow you to add different decor, neutral or bright.
A turquoise backrest can become a bright decoration of the room. It can be combined with marine styles. Can be complemented with white, blue or light blue wallpaper.
A blue back can refresh the interior. It is suitable for Provence, country, classic and English style.
Deep blue is considered the new black, meaning it suits many styles. Shades of wood, snow-white, beige and gray are well suited for a rich headboard.
Red is too bright for a bedroom and does not promote relaxation. But everyone is different and some people need red. You can combine a bright bed with light walls, wooden finishing elements, upholstery of poufs or curtains.
Brown color is very beautiful. Can be used in various styles. It will look interesting in neoclassical style in combination with a carriage tie made of eco-leather.
The pink color scheme can be bright or muted, so it can be used for many styles. It is suitable for glamorous girls if you upholster the headboard with hot pink velvet and a carriage tie with the addition of rhinestones. For dreamy people, you can choose delicate shades.
Mirrors and glossy backrests
Mirrors and the glossy surface of the backrests will be appropriate in small rooms, because they can visually increase the space.
Mirrored headboards come in different varieties: they may have an engraving or design on them; it may not be a pure mirror, but aged or tinted glass. You can use a single large sheet, or you can use small mirror pieces from which you can assemble a pattern, honeycomb, mosaic, etc.
Loft
The gray palette is ideal for urban style. Loft interiors are simple and unpretentious, but striking in their practicality and relevance.
They are characterized by unplastered surfaces, concrete, brickwork and old wood. They recreate an industrial gray atmosphere with an abundance of communications, pipes, beams and other elements.
Such a room rarely uses bright elements; it is characterized by an abundance of light and free space. Antique items, trendy items are selected for her, and old things are found.
