Screen, wood paneling, landscaping – our selection of beautiful and useful ideas that will inspire you to decorate your headboard.
The wall behind the bed is an excellent field for the implementation of practical ideas, as well as for very unexpected experiments. We tell you how to decorate the headboard in unusual ways.
1. Choose fabrics
Freely falling drapery, passing from the wall into a beautiful decorative wave under the ceiling, will create a feeling of privacy and security in the sleeping area. As a material for the manufacture of such a canopy, both light-flowing fabrics (silk organza or tulle) and denser textiles (linen or jacquard) are suitable. The main thing is that the textile can be easily removed for washing and be hypoallergenic.
2. Put up a screen
A screen is a practical idea for decorating a headboard – the photo shows that colored screens look best on a light background, and it’s also a good idea for classic interiors. When you get bored, the screen can be used in other rooms.
3. Use wood
A universal solution that will fit into the interior of any style – wooden panels. By the way, you can decorate the headboard with wood by yourself.
4. Hang pictures and photos
Photos are a decor that is appropriate in almost any style. They enliven the space, filling it with a pleasant, soulful atmosphere. Why not take pictures that are close to your heart with a kind of wall decor in the bedroom? They can become both a decoration of this room and a reminder of the warmest moments of your life.
5. Make vertical gardening
plants in a home are a current trend in decor. But live plants are not recommended. However, this is not a reason to abandon the idea, because you can create a green composition of artificial analogs that will decorate a private area regardless of the time of year. In the modern version, the leaves and buds look so natural that it is difficult to distinguish them from natural ones.
6. Apply creative painting
One of the most creative solutions is to use the wall as a painting canvas. The style of painting depends only on your taste. Recently, geometric abstractions from blocks of different colors have been popular. To create straight lines, you will need paints, a brush, and masking tape. And lovers of watercolor drawings can imitate blurry transitions between shades on the wall.
7. Use unusual material
The effect of surprise can be achieved with a material that is not usually used in the design of the sleeping area. In our example, the wall is decorated with an ornament made of monochrome ceramic modules. In private rooms, tiles with imitation of various tactile surfaces will also look good: old brick or natural stone.
8. Place beautiful collections
Another non-standard option on how to decorate the wall at the head of the bed is to place collections of a variety of items. The exposition can be porcelain plates, straw hats, souvenirs brought from travels, a herbarium, photographs, paintings, posters, and much more. It is important not only to make a harmonious composition of them but also to think about the background color and reliable fastening methods.
9. Decorate the headboard with patterned wallpaper
To get a beautiful picture, it is not necessary to take up a brush. Manufacturers offer many options for wallpaper, photo panels, and self-adhesive frescoes, which will be made strictly to the size of the wall. Some of them are intended for temporary decoration of space and can be easily removed, which is especially true for those who rent housing. In addition, any image from your archive can be transferred to a non-woven base.
10. Put up a partition
In this case, the designers urge not only to use the wall behind the headboard but literally “build” it. Thus, you can functionally zone the bedroom, allocating space for a mini dressing room, dressing table, or home office. There are many options for execution, while such a partition will look easy and will not burden the space.
11. Make a functional niche or shelves
In the conditions of a small apartment, where every centimeter counts, you can design a headboard above the bed functionally. For example, organize a built-in structure with niches of such depth that books are placed inside for reading before bedtime. A useful alternative would be a shelf or ledge step on which you can arrange decor elements. It is optimal to place it at arm’s length from the sleeping bed.
