Guest Post: Creative Headboards via Sierra

 Hi everyone,
Today we have a wonderful guest post from Sierra of Ocean Dreams blog. The post speaks for itself so no lengthy description needed. Take it away Sierra...

Bed headboards not only bring a bedroom to life, but they create character. An artful headboard looks amazing in a bedroom that needs a bold focal point and is available in several types of materials such as wood, leather, metal, fabric, and more. Instead of going for a traditional headboard, however, why not create an original headboard that's different? Create a trendy room that's romantic, rustic, modern, minimalist, or bohemian. The choice is yours and your imagination to create the space of your dreams is endless. So have fun and create an interior that has a headboard that you can't take your eyes off of, such as the pictures below!

Uneven planks of wood can be pieced together to create a rustic board that looks great in a vintage or shabby chic styled room. Look at the uneven pieces of wood and how beautiful this board looks behind the white crisp comforter and sheets on the bed. It creates a very calming and inviting space.

If you have old window shutters or doors that are no longer usable, use them as headboards! They'll produce an urban room that's trendy and full of style. You could even place a mirror or single decor piece in the middle of each door like the decorator in the picture below did. A symmetrical layout catches the eye and looks great in this European inspired design, below.

Now you could really get creative and have a chalk headboard, which technically isn't a headboard but it sure looks like one! You can draw a romantic headboard on a chalk board that looks elegant and fun in a room that was in need of a little bit more pizzazz.

Using a bunch of your favorite elements to create a eclectic headboard is fun and bold! Incorporate letters that spell out your last name or find characters such as hearts, squares, or whatever shapes you love. Soon you'll have a one of a kind headboard that everyone will ask how you created it.

A headboard that's upholstered or that has a wallpaper pattern on it looks bright and cheerful in a calming room. If you're tired of a current headboard you should definitely consider getting it upholstered. Or, if you have a headboard that's workable with wallpaper, decorate it on your own and create a piece of art that you're satisfied with.

Now it's time for you to have fun with your bed headboard. If you don't have one, you can consider getting this fun element to match the current style of your room. Or - you can redecorate the one you have by being creative and using your imagination. As you can see there are several different styles that can definitely revamp a room. Whether you use chalk, letter elements, wallpaper, or wooden planks, a headboard can be an artful experiment that turns into an interior masterpiece.
