DIY Easy Headboards 2014 Stylish Ideas

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">by Watson Hawkins </span></b><br /><b><br /></b>This is hard to believe now, but for too many years, the only headboard project we featured on DIYNetwork.com was made from chain-link. It’s still here, with a cult following, even rumored to have been tweeted by an edgy celebrity highlighting, ahem, alternative styling rather than the original design, which was for a boy’s room.<br />Recent years have seen a sea change in headboard projects, videos, styles and options. And with the upcoming holidays bringing bedrooms and guest rooms into focus, why not take the opportunity to build the headboard you’ve been wanting (or at least steal the look)?<br /><br />If price is your main concern, but you still want projects that are fun to put together with original styles, then look no further than below, where tree branches, reclaimed wood and even T-shirts can be converted into conversation pieces  explaining why this headboard gallery is also our most popular.<br /><br />Reclaimed and reused objects are perfect mediums for headboards, where screens, signs and shutters  among other items  can transform into headboards simply by mounting them on the wall.<br /><br />Practical and chic, there are a number of ideas for headboards that bring a sophisticated feel to a room with materials like fabric, bookshelves and framed artwork.<br />Bold style statements can be made through rustic painted wood (our most popular headboard how-to), nails and canvas board or bright paint with decals. You can even make a slipcover for an existing headboard, and of course all these headboard projects are easy on your budget. <br /><br />You'll love these ideas to try in 2014! I hope you find these ideas useful and inspiring to you .... Enjoy it !!!!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq9gwep8aCHMg44hcvW57lzkEwp9R_Tn8k2Tq1iESv4dmMXYMXQzMlpVt3WWN99uQemkqYecdSKmX3YHHFWx4XYsSAhIKS7uFGvRUuZsWTqrRn6I2FgJ89GR0JVzbYENkx8MIBQT4Ts6Wr/s1600/DIY-Easy-Headboards-2014-Stylish-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Headboards You Can Make 2012 ideas

Bearing a pretty silhouette, gorgeous fabric, intricate details, or all three, a headboard adds a certain flourish to your bedroom. Whether you make your own or purchase a piece, introducing a headboard to your bedroom is an instant update guaranteed to wow. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgKOoH6ogbvMPvQSMiUAHFW4VKH-Leh0I9xq_CTSNEy_LnIXoFKn-_uJ1FcFjCPgF8CLaEytCKJePiSBYzMXsYJBgmpRIgjBX2HVNgXH3QxkVs39v3QNMLhdEOfs6D8_DPkC0fYF_L/s640/Headboard-2012-Ideas-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Window of Opportunity</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Create an elegant headboard like this one by spraying two shutters with two coats of primer and 2 coats of metallic paint, then finishing with two coats of sealant. Allow the shutters to dry between coats. Measure the inside of each panel and cut fabric to fit each opening, adding 1/2 inch on all sides. Place batting inside the panel to cover the entire area. Cover with a piece of fabric and attach to batting along the edges with hot glue. Secure the corners and along the top with a staple gun. Use ribbon as a trim to finish. Repeat for each panel.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxcDhLGO4Ey2v_f8moaEwyX6OUdMMV-Dm_RQzI9Y22hJ1zYUoFLJduI7DW4Zhg8tUxNYtCZAYfNBmqaT1nRiXX9LAFACrCkyWKlHq9dorpt6SDnVnk8oLBCHwnR5anxxjQXLDt1edB/s640/Headboard-2012-Ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Tall Order</b></span></div><br />Create a custom headboard that rises to the occasion by covering an inexpensive artist's canvas with fabric. Just pull the fabric tightly across the frame and secure with a staple gun. Then prop the canvas behind your bed no power tools required. When it's time to change out your bedding, simply re-cover the canvas with new coordinating fabric for a fresh look .<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKiJ_DLLYzp9vmhCYeLoAxvP2z_iXJ3TsDq_cToL_Ob7hhN9ucR58EUjRUQYH1AIoMK7Bt2DRccIMZqFUql3QBDZ6VnLDZENK4sqFLtyzT_RTkyleOa7I2fvHD5InopiVjus0sphPY/s640/Headboard-2012-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Frame It</b></span></div><br />Inexpensive photo frames can be found at garage sales or thrift shops and make a magnificent headboard. Remove the glass from the frames and cut batting the same size as the frame back. Cut fabric to size, adding 3 inches on each side. Lay the batting on the frame back and cover it with the fabric, wrapping excess over the back. Pull taut and fasten with duct tape. Insert the back into the frame. Hang three frames side by side for a picture-perfect headboard<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiydR8GRoN2RxYq7WUA7BEu_Pj-63S2tqLFzpHWak1sQxySJ_ERLf3-a_24Vgo6liKHgF0ijP5ANoeF7VZtDuxg0yTSyWPkqoBie8e-OYhLvd43uuzoGg7VRt-4n-LJKPtZn8efOI1G/s640/Headboard-2012-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Re-treated & Refreshed</b></span></div><br />Revamp an old wooden headboard with a new treatment. Try sanding off the existing stain and refinishing the headboard with a glaze or whitewash.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLd2SnPAQJS4rRvrcsKmcUKyIfQivHf13WM_ReiuIQbqtj-mMPc4uf_x11xM-5sPL4eBEjh14nQ_oTipgWJN12rFfKx_4FNBGEGzodPrxCiS6MAy8MugxsPH-P7zSzGN6CqsPnDVkk/s640/Headboard-2012-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Modern & Fun</b></span></div><br />Give old closet doors a new purpose as a headboard. Two closet doors mounted on the wall behind the bed create a sleek focal point in this midcentury-modern bedroom. Plus, the tall headboard gives the room a sense of height.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdzEpDGiNo9clRc7QLbdJt_7u-d6_MyoPj4YgsOl6m9QvaWP5uEn_85Tnqg9v6Jwj3LP4mtLsrr-IejSuginFuPd8RrilO67FbyYHs0TJG1FZgYUNnf0LmfuRV71CJgu1cUanRZUVC/s640/Headboard-2012-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Home Center Headboard</b></span></div><ol class="numberList">For less than $100, you can make a headboard out of basics from your local home center. On a piece of medium-density fiberboard (MDF), draw a design that's as wide as the mattress and about 40 inches tall; cut out. Use wood glue to cover the MDF with a piece of beaded board cut into the same shape. Glue strips of veneer over the rough edges. Glue or screw trim to the top edge and a finial in the cutout. Paint the entire piece. When dry, mount the headboard to the wall with 1 1/2-inch spacers</ol><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyBqylAffx3Qyf5D6b-70d7UjpRDl2GHrhIl016s-KnNhyphenhyphen6SYs7ZbE4xuYI2ACLuoiatmzK7QEKYZDKyG4-oO20_fkl2lrfqGFgKOiSe3Ky_GT6PkneZAX2DbB-nLTIDD4RTq1ciL6/s640/Headboard-2012-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Wallpapered Headboard</b></span></div><br />Scout out a large picture frame from a flea market or secondhand shop and repurpose it as a headboard. Paint the frame to match your decor. Cut a wallpaper piece to fit inside the frame. Apply the paper to the frame backing following the manufacturer's instructions.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfRNohysM3d-cOu6OsQ4lZPLqaaCOKVRcG41Fe4vJ_S2s6_ccDzfCTNA6b8RIry_hVvT2R2OGBl4Ef2b2cez4_UmT-RfBUc3U7JrZcLU1I7pFHkMgkR48bILwXS4qtfziOIbL1BTB5/s640/Headboard-2012-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Framed Fabric Headboard</b></span></div><br />Spice up a bedroom by creating a framed headboard from a graphic print. Stretch the fabric over heavy cardboard or foam-core board and secure on the back. Insert the panels into two inexpensive poster frames spray-painted a coordinating color.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAGLOISVpuRApvDZqtwN1ArR8uFZrENALHr_1LHjBycmoyh1xkOv82PTEZYo8IC1GMLh2slVAyp76av_MlWky9Qx9mRRfzkhdYV9ZiAEns_JIBr10c1o3UKLT3lXr2Fo2-g1M_USFH/s640/Headboard-2012-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Storage Headboard</b></span></div><br />Create a one-of-a-kind headboard with built-in storage using old dresser drawers. Search salvage shops and secondhand stores for cast-off drawers and old dressers. Plan your layout on the floor, using fillers (such as storage cubes) and leaving spaces where the wall can show through. Once you've perfected your design, secure the pieces together with screws. (We also cut plywood doors to fit a few openings and secured them with hinges.) To embellish your headboard, give it a few coats of paint and wallpaper the drawer backs and doors. Hang the headboard on the wall using a few 1x4-inch cleats<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0ySeNH6EFfN0G6t-4XqMaX5Y6pjhgGGGJu2oEK36ec-JWul2KNUNTv768cDfO3jWRUH3qa6Nwc9kbR1HXWZgU-0dEtL3qEetg2unTMoUS4RUIcxTKlevWbAtWx5JEGQRvZ3L_pV4O/s640/Headboard-2012-Ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Vintage Headboard</b></span></div><br />Add a vintage country look to your bedroom with a feed-sack-covered headboard. A large feed sack provides enough fabric to cover a twin-size headboard. Staple two layers of batting over the front side of a piece of plywood, and then staple the feed sack on top of the batting. Pull the fabric taut as you add staples to the center of each side and then as you work your way to the corners. For a stunning finish, nail a piece of architectural salvage to the top of the upholstered headboard.

Its rounded corners soften the linear geometry of the wall treatment, pinstriped linens, mod Lucite lamp, and mirrored side table.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI94z5TwOsxKH8CQy589Tmm5gf_vQY-dIcy6JNqdpuhgwUeAyxbetzDqvoMb0NqkOZgvDyy3AcwCpzkSD8X0swWG5A397yoplVnAagj8HtijHGUCJt0LhfMu89Ax3jnEYpvMfvaWfi/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">An Updated Classic</span></b></span></div><br />A classic four-poster gets fresh and modern thanks to a wrapped-headboard treatment that maintains the simple lines of the original piece. The fabric, a cotton-linen print featuring parrot tulips, injects color and life into the softly whitewashed space, providing the room with a vibrant focal point.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKTVHg7jVq4vt9nwlPqnJ64IJ6QxKpbY9EwkCMla_M22ltraIzjqDGtiliGPD14m_HGnnjXfvwDP7A4tfv2VHS8Yuh7OKkSS4piluRkCIMafvusyXvBJlSbkEWsGHDKFlaZzaDy_hd/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-13.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Sweet & Simple</span></b></span></div><br />Too many patterns in a small space can feel claustrophobic. Here, a pretty purple geometric fabric draped over the headboard is all the design needed to create a bright and happy vibe. For a quick change, switch the fabric for a new one and get instant results.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWNy9ObueTdh4tAuBTcY9YqLrIZvRuKjMSvso49VujfP9KIs6NHpTkVBr38ckNwrStgQLajCdVgLHgkO0bq4bywMPIIBXnDnUW3HUkM4Q0D4Z0WRkLN_QTR97q1HqFS3AtJ6vV1Mqw/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Block Party</span> </b></span></div><br />Unbleached linen partners with richly stained walnut planks for an elemental, almost Zen-like headboard. The expansive unit is actually two pieces: a wall treatment with three pop-out fabric squares and a king-size headboard whose slipcover can be easily removed and laundered.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGMjUfuFrIwoyIBFIug1Sqjw4q71yFrKdi1wCNwsfNz39ymAIPfe6GXCqlMJNcKL_fbbZ-iWIc3XEQ1n5sVhUCaDx-7HHBa-3LBcuukckyXHFbLqQKRG0NF-9hra52sDcw-kRO9oQH/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Striped Headboard</span></b></span></div><br />In this airy loft bedroom, a headboard covered in lime green and ivory striped fabric fills the wall with a graphic, beachy appeal -- perfect for the gridded floral duvet and red pillows with green pinstripes below.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJcpplVMWPymZKbkiqe1TUu_IpOwtKLLGlGK0ads799X9CiH0f8okqj6oH96N66XhbEbHz-dLCq68hCoBLXYY1ZT-tcxHgG8LQSZ7J0XMg2VVK94mmJT6qPoHHCMPi7ce79h4rOqMf/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Natty Neutrals</span> </b></span></div><br />Layers of touchable texture mix and mingle around a basic natural-linen headboard. The vintage hooked wool rug framed and hung above the bed inspired the collection of pillows, including quilted silk, tufted cotton, and crewelwork pieces.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp97bbDrbN5nUIQFG9pdEL_-KaGvzvbG570uZKx6813hedG4kdgs40mR_lZ2kKKB3OlGqZfh92CHZx1mKBwAKGee_KT8Lo3N_opDGcFi3E5NR-bxvWraXXxE_CILoifX5NWGlQWUbS/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Delicious Chocolate</span></b></span></div><br />Mocha tufted-silk upholstery on a wraparound painted headboard gives this sleeping space a cocoonlike feel. The simple texture of the fabric-and-wood frame contrast with the linen's woven details and the grass-cloth-covered walls.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglgw-cTuzYWK2AcLrHod08TDyA5bjEqMkn438EugRHn7ajamikQk6sn3uPCygeOOFrxxCZUfyUUMja7_5UVWBB6cpeDG26uFOnn0C7-w7Zfx0upjTCxC4vGZw422TDIYr6L4Z50M-v/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Dreamy Diagonals</span> </b></span></div><br />Tone-on-tone harlequin-pattern silk influenced this headboard's angular shape as well as the room's shimmery color scheme. Crisp linens and a Lucite lamp take their cues from the silver diamond shapes, while the fringed trim, custom-pleated shade, and sharkskin-wrapped side table connect with the fabric's ivory portions.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdxKb2q5z2IGWAmn4po67nBdseNGb4lj7ZeyxNHYimm0I4PVqYuZpDRcEvN3s2ZuoALacood8BXud67IzzazAT3xxuvb86TJK7UsT0Lc7vWp7DVmB64z1TzA47ifnR17t5WvfwDlut/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Fresh Floral</span> </b></span></div><br />Relying on one pretty floral for the walls, upholstered headboard, and shirred details, this bedroom feels layered yet pulled together. Spring green fabric piping and delicately embellished bed linens contrast with the print's sweetness and lively color.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU1SjY8tkf7OTE6rOnd1g45OynFmx2V0W3n0-KdcbQbZkDidlM0PcUa1PkWTv7M87_J2M1IMW1ptlgPRhIsSda7Yitfvl09YD30oru2wsQVZxQb0Iydl8zoTePFs9Iab8DkwmHtn7M/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">A Strong Theme</span> </b></span></div><br />Generous padding, ivory linen upholstery, and painted nailhead trim update an ornate rosewood bed while preserving its graceful shape and intricate details. Red-and-white toile -- vintage and brand-new pieces -- provide color and pattern.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCW0TNcKUbbh6DaruPTTVgksf20my4kU7x1NP8RXGUlyn-RS2KukZRg2EPKtqVRRsvPls0DZODaXODOI0lgQzCsRcOXMayhbUgjb5RCvGjqfAwgCl-E8dA3fKomZDI57hKdzrVQJ7R/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Simple Storage</span></b></span></div><br />The shape and dimensions of the cabinet doors flanking this contemporary room divider/headboard unit inspired its grid of six upholstered rectangles. Clad in creamy Italian leather, the rectangles add natural color and warmth to the sleek silver bedding and white lacquer cabinetry, keeping the modern aesthetic approachable.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKDyXylENT5zwuJvcfqED0ROH6AtGf0gPVIdSZXOSA1fUo1F9HJjM8MgBVZI-EsYjaKPU1CqEccZAOD2DmhqQTJc8xQ6iWUNtPbubZ8w_i87XJ-Jeekii6JFnBzz9dU5t0dNVSmIbR/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Luxurious Pattern</span></b></span></div><br />Curvy in all the right places, this custom headboard takes its design cues from the undulating shape of the bedside chest of drawers. Piping detail gives the piece the look of a tailored mat and frame, while a simple bed skirt in the same yellow-and-silver damask extends the refined yet contemporary look to the floor.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtwjzxJmYvPu0KlBlU3Ys-pQKe8-RIBpOTFsxIWRN9HAxRgDDgiHwZt3SsYxXHlFznD1p0A0lHuXkEfe9Ojd_gMSukbYeijG-6rE3n5FGn0hB9I9PHfedB-M8UP3j6TKA3PLEqdbSf/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Opposites Attract</span></b></span></div><br />Add drama to a bedroom with opposites. Here, a simple monochromatic color scheme for the bedding stands out against the bright blue patterned walls, creating a rich contrast. The white-and-brown upholstered headboard takes center stage in this bedroom. Solids and patterns coexist to create a formal yet fun design.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOQ7tQlU3a_Dh8eEZmF19v7E5P9QkJeW70RKhwGk69zn_k4ETifVdyWW9B1k8MTJQiwVfsDk0UcuJz4-8FbTXfz5BDGzUtNVqJcQOtg6H0GnnBM6yxOq65ABypD7CpdjMyHwTvv0y9/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-14.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Cool Contrast</span></b></span></div><br />Blend rounded lines with straight edges. The circular pattern on the headboard and bed skirt creates a striking effect with the rigid lines of the square headboard. The result is an eye-appealing balance that makes a big impact in this room.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihQMoVKRqHMfZNnyexuHqg3TKFibPI-H79SPEqL5Oc2HOdA_zAXwj5VOlZIkE6bcGMd5LKyI1HN_obkK4fbZE5UnrDpXVXW_ey2__rmzCgW82WgNrlp4tJky_pga4kJYbY28apLZZM/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-16.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Simple Accessory</span></b></span></div><br />Drape a bold-color fabric across a simple white headboard for an eye-catching effect. Here, the burgundy fabric on the headboard ties together the burgundy in the throw pillow and books. An antique mantel aligns with the windows to visually expand the space and provide storage on high.
