Purchasing A Fabric Covered Headboard For A Bedroom

By Kerri Stout


Everything looks absolutely perfect in your bedroom except for your bed. It is hard to match the other furnishings and accessories to just any type of bed frame so you are considering a fabric covered headboard to finish it off. This is a great method of finding the perfect material to add to and match your bedroom 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 materials used in the piece look amazing against a painted or wood paneled wall. It enhances the entire appeal of a room by adding texture and personal style. For example, a dark blue style against a light blue wall will absolutely pop and help make the bed a focal point of 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.

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 touches can make it even more appealing. The more padding used, the more elegant it will look. Deep tufts will also add elegance and a nail head trim can make the impact more traditional. Eliminate any buttons, nail heads or extras for children's styles as they can be pulled off or damaged.

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.
