A show of hands from those that have dull and original-style headboards from somewhere in the 1990s. Thought so. It's not something many of us think about on a regular basis, but sprucing up that headboard in your master bedroom can bring that whole room to life. Kids get neat headboards -- why not adults?Just like the television in the family room, the headboard in a bedroom can focus attention on itself. That being the case, some time spent dropping creative-ness on that focal piece might make you glad to saunter into the sack at night.
Whether thrifty or extravagant, it's time to get our your imagination. What theme do you want for a new headboard? Colors? Style? Materials? Fabric? get all these down and then sketch what you think you'd like. You don't need an art degree -- it's best just to get your head on paper. Want some ideas to get your juices flowing? Here are just a few:
- Garden theme
- Wedding canopy
- Hockey goal
- Bi-fold doors or three-piece standing screens
- Old doors
- Shutters
- Cork wallboards
