Purchasing A Fabric Covered Headboard For A Bedroom

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.

The advantages to using these wonderful bed additions are numerous. First of all, they are relatively inexpensive when compared to the metal, wrought iron or wood models. They are very easily maintained and cleaned. The variety to be had is endless and are quickly located in stores or in a search of online sources. The best thing is that a foot board can be eliminated. It just gets in the way sometimes anyway and blocks views of the television and outdoor scenery.

The main materials used can look absolutely amazing against a wood-paneled or painted wall. It will enhance the room by adding interest, personal style and texture. For example, a light green fern pattern would look fantastic against a dark green wall. An off-white linen would be astounding against a wall with rustic texture.

The bed additions can be purchased in a variety of styles. Curved, straight, rectangular, or ultra simple are just a few of the styles available. Sizes can be found for any bed whether it be of full, twin, queen or king dimensions. An odd-sized or shaped bed can have it custom made for even more impact.

There are so many fabrics to select from and the piece can be upholstered in almost everything from silk to polyester. Linen and suede are also excellent choices. For example, if you have a serene, tropical style with numerous plants and greenery in your room, adding a watered silk piece against a tan or green wall will bring out your theme even more.

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.

This type of sensible purchase is easy and inexpensive to add to your room. It is easily changed when new tones and shades are selected or a new decor is put in place. A good upholsterer can replace the out-of-date and shabby material with new styles and designs, keeping your look always fresh and updated.
