In most bedrooms, the bed is the main event. It takes up the most room, it’s usually placed on the largest wall and often, bedding choices determine the style and color palette of the room. So with all that importance a bed really deserves to be the focal point and you don’t need to always use a predictable headboard to achieve this! Check out these creative ideas!

Using framed photographs above the bed creates vertical interest.  Fabric panels flanking the bed make it even more dramatic! Best thing about this trick – you can achieve this look with or without windows!

A salvaged piece of moulding adds an architectural element to this bedroom and mirrors the ceiling beams! Brilliant!

Love the graphic style of these metal wall hangings!

How gorgeous is this antique mirror? It’s the perfect opulent headboard to this bed.

Here, a beautiful dressing screen is a lovely feminine touch.

Painted details can create wonderful drama and flair! This is such a great treatment for a child or teenager.

So next time you are changing up a bedroom in your home, think outside the box and have some fun – see what you come up with!  I would love to hear about it or better yet, send me picture and we can share it on here!
