Want to create a focal point in your bedroom? These headboard ideas will help you transform a bland space into a showstopper.

Using a wide range of decorative fabrics, opulent velvet trims and clever design details, interiors experts show us just why we should all be paying more attention to our headboards.

These headboard ideas below are creative, fun and flamboyant, and will offer inspiration no matter what bedroom ideas you have chosen.

Headboard ideas

Headboard ideas can totally transform a bedroom – but there's much more to them than simply placing a padded board behind your bed's head. We consulted the experts in bedroom design – and bring you our favorite headboard designs.

1. Have a headboard bespoke-made to complement decor

(Image credit: Elicyon)

'There’s no right or wrong option for the shape and size of a headboard, it’s entirely up to you and your room design. One important consideration, if budget allows, is whether to have a headboard handmade bespoke or purchase one off the shelf,' says Cecilia Halling, creative director at Elicyon

'The benefit of having a bespoke headboard is that it will be entirely unique to your space, and you’re able to be much more playful and selective with the fabric and add piping and trim details to complement your material scheme.'

(Image credit: Elicyon)

We love how this headboard is backed into a niche lined with complementary materials.

'We’ve experimented with headboards that wrap around the bedside tables, so although the tables are freestanding it gives the impression of continuity. This layering of furniture and textiles typically helps to extend the width of a room, longer headboards are often used in smaller rooms or rooms with shorter ceiling heights to help extend the space,' says Cecilia Halling.

3. Create a cocooning effect with a wraparound headboard

(Image credit: Elicyon)

A subtle nod to the cosseting feel of a traditional half tester is a headboard that is winged at both sides. 

Take this a step further when commissioning a bespoke design and think about extending it beyond the width of the bed to create a niche that is generous enough for a bedside table. 

In a large bedroom, this is a discreet way to up the comfort factor without disturbing the clean lines of a pared-back scheme. With neutral schemes, use texture and material with your headboard and bed ideas to generate warmth and interest. 

'Recently we created a bespoke curved headboard with wings where the frame hugs the mattress, which created a soothing cocoon feel,' continues Cecilia Halling.

4. Embrace the latest headboard trends

(Image credit: Elicyon )

'Color and pattern are being used frequently in headboard designs, contrasting fabrics help to create a wow factor. Adding a band of cord trim, a fringe or a timber beading really helps to elevate the design – for example, a patterned headboard with an elegant velvet border is a subtle but effective design detail,' says Cecilia Halling.

'We tend to start with soft textures at the center of the room design, and then layer with pattern so the room doesn’t feel overwhelming. It is after all, meant to be a tranquil space to relax at the end of a long day.'

5. Combine lighting into headboards

(Image credit: Elicyon)

'Another headboard trend we’re implementing in many of our projects is hanging lamps either side of the bed to create interest and intimacy as well as to free up useful bedside table space. It’s about layering the space to create a luxury look,' says Cecilia Halling.

6. Cheat a headboard with wallpaper

(Image credit: Elicyon)

'I’m typically not a fan of a feature wall but if you add a simple timber profile around the edges of the wallpaper it frames it beautifully and makes it feel more like a headboard element than a wall feature. Wallpaper just one wall and frame it with a timber bead which will allow you to go for a very simple and plain headboard in front,' says Cecilia Halling.

7. Combine fabric and wallpaper to create a unique headboard

(Image credit: Elicyon)

'Painted wall panelling may be a cheaper alternative to wallpapering the focal wall. If you add upholstery within the center panel you may not even need a headboard,' says Cecilia Halling. 'Choose a simple cotton or linen fabric for your headboard but elevate it by giving it a fun shape and adding a cord trim or contrast piping.'

8. Be brave with pattern pairings

(Image credit: Future / Alecia Neo)

This kid's bedroom idea in Singapore-based interior designer Elizabeth Hay’s home is a masterclass in clashing patterns.  

Matching a bedside lamp to a key piece of furniture – in this case, the headboard – brings the scheme together and makes the animal theme feel more sophisticated. 

Hay used a print called Small Elephant by Les Indiennes for the lamp and headboard, and mixed up the scale of patterns in the rest of the room for a vibrant effect. The larger the lamp, the bolder your pattern should be to make an impact. 

For interior design projects in small bedrooms such as this one, consult a firm like Ensemblier, which specialises in bespoke headboards and can help create something similar. 

9. Cover the entire wall 

(Image credit: Elicyon)

Take a leaf out of an updated 1970s suburban American design vibe – minus the shag pile – and consider covering the entire wall behind the bed with a series of low-rise, upholstered panels in a graphic fabric – or go super-sized as with this panel. 

10. Use a room's existing features

(Image credit: Elicyon)

Unused chimney breasts or alcoves can be expensive to remove – or replace entirely – yet they often take up valuable space for a bed.  One solution is to integrate the chimney breast into a bedroom accent wall that covers the entire wall behind the bed. 

Niches can be used to create shelves, incorporate bedroom lighting ideas and disguise radiators. These details are offset with luxurious materials, including an upholstered headboard, woven bedding and plush carpet.

11. Choose a complementary headboard

(Image credit: Future / Simon Brown)

With patterned walls, choose a plain fabric that complements the colors in the wallpaper and experiment with the shape of the headboard instead. 

In this luxury bedroom, the baroque-style silhouette of the Origo design by Oka adds a bit of a punch to the pretty country-house florals. 

12. Make your headboard work hard

(Image credit: Future / Chris Tubbs)

Get the most out of an integrated headboard by making it work as hard as possible. 

If you're looking for bedroom storage ideas, opt for a headboard like the one shown above. This low-slung design incorporates plenty of shelf space on top for displaying favorite objects and pictures, a bedside table and an adjustable task light for reading.

13. Introduce bold colors and patterns with upholstery

(Image credit: Natalia Miyar)

An intuitive creator with a love of beauty, interior architect and designer Natalia Miyar approaches design with an understanding of balance and proportion, so it comes as no surprise that she is best known for her use of color and pattern.

Make a break from safe neutrals and upholster the bed in a bright playful fabric that will make it the star attraction. 

'The headboard itself can be scaled up or down to introduce a new perspective, think of it as a frame within the room,' she says. 

For added impact, paint the wall behind in a bold, co-ordinating shade.

14. Upholster with velvet

(Image credit: Natalia Miyar)

Natalia Miyar also recommends building contrasting layers of texture in the bedroom. Choose velvet for its silky smooth texture, luxurious sheen and soft finish. 

The designer regularly decorates with deep rich shades, which sit perfectly against a decorative wall in a softer palette, creating contrasts of texture and pattern. 

If you're wondering how to style a bed, look to this space for inspiration. A bold headboard has been matched with tonal accessories, lighting and beautiful fabrics to introduce news shades of color and interest into the room.  

(Image credit: Natalia Miyar)

Studs are a great way to add texture and detail to a headboard without going overboard. 

Creating a smart border around the edge of the headboard, metal studs further attract the eye towards the statement piece as well as introduce a metallic contrast to the warm, rich textile upholstery. 

Natalia suggests using metal elsewhere in your room, such as on a statement mirror or lamp, for continuity and consistency. 

16. Scale-up your headboard

(Image credit: Natalia Miyar)

For a larger room, Natalia adds definition and interest with an oversized headboard.

'Proportion is so important; I like to use large-scale furniture as it makes a space seem bigger and more luxurious,’ she says. ‘The key is to choose carefully.'

With a very large headboard, it is important not to overcrowd the room. The designer suggests choosing slim, metallic shelving, folding stools and small, neutral colored chairs to ensure the bed is the central focus.

17. Add pattern to a plain bedroom with a headboard

(Image credit: Future/Simon Bevan)

If you're building interest into a formerly plain scheme, mixing patterns is the best way to do so and a focal headboard is an impactful first step. 

'Mixing patterns is one of the most enjoyable parts of a design scheme,' says textile designer Bethie Tricks . 

'I tend to use the rule of three as a starting point, pulling together patterns that share a similar color or design element to ensure they echo each other subtly while adding variety and a sense of continuity.' 

18.

Pick a headboard idea that's a pleasing contrast

(Image credit: Future)

A headboard needn't be the focal point of a bedroom. You might want instead to use it as a grounding element in a scheme that features adventurous bedroom wallpaper ideas, for example.

'Bedrooms are deeply personal spaces and should be decorated accordingly,' says Joa Studholme, Farrow & Ball 's color curator. 'If you are tempted to just have a feature wall of wallpaper, then it is best to use the wall behind the bed to ground the room.' 

19. Pick soothing shades for a headboard

(Image credit: Future / Emma Lee / Sally Denning)

You can use headboards to play with pattern, as in the bedroom above, where both horizontal and vertical stripes with equal weight have been used to create a neat visual trick to make the bedroom feel both wider and taller. 

However, when introducing bold patterns, it's important to consider color carefully.

'The bedroom is somewhere you want to relax, unwind and switch off every day. Tranquil blue tones and calming neutrals are known for their relaxing and regenerative powers,' explains Zoffany designer Peter Gomez.

20. Match the headboard idea to the bed frame

(Image credit: Future)

A scheme that shows real attention to detail will always look more carefully curated and elegant. 

Here, the headboard fabric has been pulled right through to the bed frame to bring pattern into the room in an impactful way. 

'Using the biggest pattern on the floor in the form of a rug helps to anchor a space,' says textile designer Bethie Tricks. 

'Apply another on one of the main pieces of furniture, such as a headboard or armchair, and finish with either a patterned wallpaper or curtain fabric. You can then pick out colors from these patterns to finish the scheme when choosing your bedding and other decorative accessories.'

21. Add color with a tiled headboard idea

(Image credit: Bert & May)

Entirely practical, tiles used for a headboard will stay looking like new for years, and are perfect for a contemporary bedroom.  

A tile pattern that mimics fabric will create an elegant look and matte tiles in chalky colors will be subtler than any with a polished finish. This new Scandinavian-inspired Hexagon Split Shift collection is by Bert & May .

22. Layer in colors with headboard ideas

'Color-blocking on walls, softened by an embroidered fabric headboard, is a dynamic scheme for a bedroom. A plain white wall and classic white bedding allow the colorful elements to sing out and take centerstage. Each piece here has been carefully chosen to work within the overall scheme. And no one piece overshadows any other. They each have enough air and space to be enjoyed in all their individual beauty. 

23. Consider headboard ideas for four-posters

(Image credit: Future / Jon Day / Katrin Cargill)

Four poster beds also have headboards – and these can range from grand to subtle.  

'Four poster beds are making a contemporary comeback – the way we’ve been incorporating these grand frames into bedrooms is often with drapes or canopies, which adds a softness to the space,' says Cecilia Halling.

'If you’d prefer to let the wall treatment be the focal point, then it’s better to choose a bed frame and headboard that is low and discreet, so the attention is on the wider wall. If you use a patterned wallpaper you can pick an accent color from it and use in a plainer form for the fabric on the headboard to marry the two together.'

Can you put a headboard on a bed frame?

Yes, you can put a headboard on an existing bed frame. Although traditionally it is easier to attach a headboard to a bed frame of a similar size, it is also possible to fit an oversized headboard to the wall behind the bed. 

What is the reason for a headboard?

A headboard is an important element of a bedroom for numerous reasons. 

From a functional point of view, you need a headboard to cushion your head and back when you are sitting up in bed, and to protect your head from the wall. A headboard will also stop your pillows from slipping down behind the bed frame.

Headboards are vital for aesthetic reasons, too. They provide a focal point, can introduce color, pattern and texture, and can help to correct and improve a room's proportions and visual impact.

The main mistakes in designing a bedroom: designer's advice

LIGHTING

One of the most common mistakes in decorating a bedroom is to point down the ceiling light above the headboard. Agree, looking at the blinding lamp on the ceiling, lying on the pillow and getting ready for rest, is not the most pleasant experience. Even in the off state, such a lamp will be perceived as visual garbage. By the bed it is better to use table light or sconce , and find a better place for a chandelier.

CURTAIN

When choosing curtains for a bedroom, some people forget about such an important moment as the need to darken the room before going to bed. For this purpose, you can use curtains with black-out or dim-out lining , blinds, blinds . A cool life hack for those who are used to sleeping in the dark without disturbing artificial light outside the window and the early rays of the sun is an electric ledge that works both from the remote control and from the key at the head of the bed. Such a cornice can also be programmed to automatically open the curtains in the morning and be used, for example, instead of an alarm clock.

READING BED LIGHT

Don't rely on bedside table lamps or sconces to provide enough reading light. If you often read at night, then you should consider and provide directional and bright enough light at the head of the bed. This is an important nuance.

DISTANCE FROM THE BED TO THE WALLS

Do not forget that a comfortable passage between the bed and the walls should be be at least 900 mm. Otherwise, you risk getting an unergonomic space and, getting out of bed in the morning, experience discomfort and negative emotions.

HEADLIGHT SWITCH

In my opinion, general light switch in the bedroom next to the headboard is a 100% must have for any bedroom. It would seem a trifle, but how much comfort it adds to our lives! How often does it happen that, after reading at night and already fully prepared for sleep, you suddenly again need to get out of bed and go to the very door to turn off the light. And how inconvenient it is! Especially if the bedroom is large and the switch is far away.

PLACE FOR HOME CLOTHES

Another common problem is the lack of a suitable place for bedspreads and home clothes. It can be a closet, but a more convenient solution in this case would be a bedside bench, a small ottoman or a nearby chair. And for clothes, we often provide floor hangers or wall hooks for bathrobes and household items.

STORAGE

The most correct decision, if the area of ​​the apartment allows, is to place a spacious dressing room next to the bedroom. Any storage space separate from the bedroom is a huge plus. If this is not possible, then spacious closet or chest of drawers will be able to solve the problem of storing clothes.

DRAWERS AND SHELVES NEAR THE BEDSTAND

The absence of drawers or shelves near the bedside tables can also cause dissatisfaction for those who are used to having enough space on hand to store small items. Therefore, when planning a bedroom , be sure to take into account the needs of those who will sleep in it : their daily rituals before going to bed and after waking up, the number, size and composition of the items they use. Someone likes to sit on the phone, someone likes to read a novel, and someone just needs to watch a series at night (our next point about this).

TV

If you plan to watch TV in your bedroom, be sure to plan ahead and plan in the right place all the necessary electrical outlets and low-voltage systems . The central axis of the bed will be the center of the TV (as the most comfortable location for the device). But the installation height from the floor depends on the height of the bed along with the mattress and on your height, because watching TV most often occurs in a reclining position.

90,000 bedroom design 6 sq. m: 58 photos of interiors, decor ideas

What is the main thing in the design of the bedroom 6 kV. m? Fit the bed and preferably something else useful: for example, a small closet, nightstand, work chair or dressing table. We give advice on organizing a small space on the example of design projects.

Examples of 6 sq. meters and design principles

1. Laconic space with thoughtful details
2. Glass wall and dark colors
3. Modern design and cool accents
4. Marine style in light shades
5. Mix of ethno and eco
Principles

Light color scheme, glass a partition with a heavy curtain and roman blinds look modern and very stylish. Pay attention to the shelf at the head - even a small ledge can replace a bedside table. If the length of the room allows, take note of this technique.

The author of this project also suggests replacing part of the wall with glass to lighten the overall look. At the same time, he does not abandon the dark design, but complements it with a light cabinet and paintings.

Separately, it is worth noting the same floor finish throughout the studio. It unites space and pulls it out.

Nautical style is not often found in design today. Often the topic is expressed very literally. This project is a great example of how to carefully maintain a theme in textiles, paintings and textures.

The bedroom in this project is hidden behind a wooden sliding panel with an ethnic pattern. From the side of the living room there is a dining group. A great example without glass, but with lightweight wall construction. The decoration is in light colors, but the emphasis is again on the texture: this is both a brick wall and a decorative tree at the headboard. There is also an interesting gray ceiling that supports the fabric: curtains and bedspreads.

Space planning

Interior of a small bedroom of 6 sq. meters is actually not so easy to issue. This is a tiny space that requires rational planning and answers to a number of questions. One of these is the decision to expand the room by demolishing the adjacent wall. Of course, if such an opportunity exists.

Designers use several zoning techniques.

Another point is related to the arrangement of furniture. Not all rooms allow you to place the bed parallel to the window. In the last photo of the interior of the bedroom 6 sq. m you can see the head of the bed located at the window. This technique is most often found in Western projects. Why not take note of it? Moreover, it doesn’t take much to implement: only good double-glazed windows that will protect against drafts. A bed pressed against the wall is also not the most comfortable option. But if the bed is wide, this is often the only possible solution that allows you to place the furniture compactly.

Monochrome and light palette

The use of dark colors is not prohibited. But it is the light palette and monochrome that will help to visually expand the available area. The gamma is not limited to beige or gray base tones, you can also use a pastel palette: turquoise, lavender, blue and so on.

At the same time, rich tones can be introduced with the help of accessories and textiles. A bedspread, decorative pillows, paintings - if you get bored, you can easily change them.

An accent surface in a small space often works to reduce it. If you still want to highlight the surface with a finish, opt for soothing tones, perhaps handmade wallpaper with a pretty print. A colored ceiling is an interesting technique, but it is better to choose it at an appropriate height, at least 3 meters. At the same time, it is better to make the rest of the finish as neutral as possible.

Minimalism in a small bedroom 6 sq.

m

It's not so much about the style of the room, but about the absence of unnecessary decor and details, as well as maintaining order. In tiny rooms, small decor items such as vases, figurines, bottles, and so on should be abandoned. Such small elements scatter attention and clutter up the view. It is better to bet on larger things: a couple of paintings, a floor vase, wallpaper as an accent at the head of the bed, potted plants - this is usually enough to make the room cozy.

Functional furniture

If one person lives in an apartment, the problem of a sleeping place is solved simply. You can save a little due to a one-and-a-half bed no more than 140 cm wide. If a couple lives, you will have to find a wider model. At the same time, not everyone needs the cherished 200 cm, maybe you will be comfortable at 160 cm? Try narrower options first. Pay attention to the shape of the bed. It's great if you can find a model with additional storage space for bed linen and textiles - drawers at the bottom or a podium. Although these elements outwardly make the object heavier, their functionality often becomes more in demand.

However, this is a great way to increase the area without demolishing the walls, which can be seen in real interiors. True, we are not talking about small wall models, but about entire panels.

A bold move, but very effective: place wide mirror panels, for example, above the headboard. This is a rather comfortable solution, because when you wake up, you will not see your reflection. A more familiar option is a built-in wardrobe with mirrored doors.
