Just changing the headboard can alter the mood in your bedroom, expand its the sense of space and recast the room’s style into something totally new.
An upholstered headboard, for example, can make a room warmer and cozier, said interior designer June Shea of Shea Studio Interiors
She took a formal and old world bedroom and transformed its style to elegant contemporary simply by changing the headboard. She used a geometric design with camel-colored ultrasuede and buttons done in a contrasting brown to cover a headboard that towered over the bed.
“It added an element of drama with the exaggerated height,” she said.
To determine how big to make an upholstered headboard “a guideline would be short enough to hang a picture (at good viewing height) above the headboard or to make the headboard the focal point by taking it above the height where a picture would hang,” Shea said.
Kelley Proxmire, a member of the Washington Design Center Hall of Fame, said she encourages her clients to go taller, not smaller.
“Many of my clients, when updating their bedrooms, are hesitant to make their covered headboards significantly taller, but I think taller headboards can add an important element of proper scale to the room,” she said.
