Headboard

Initially, the main function of the head of the bed was the protection from drafts in the dank and wet palace bedrooms. Of course, now, in times of central heating and thermal insulation, this function has receded into the background. Now the most important thing is the aesthetic component. The beautiful head of the bed sets the tone for the whole bedroom and plays a very important role in creating interior design. Although it can bring some practical benefit even now - for example, the head of the bed with the function of storage allows you to keep near your bed favorite books and various trifles that can come in handy.

To make it easier to determine the design of the head of the bed, please note the following tips:

1. Think about what head of the bed you would like to see in your bedroom at the stage of choosing an interior style. This will give you the key to choosing the rest of the details for the desired design, because the bed usually reflects the trends of a particular era quite accurately and can become the basis for creating an atmosphere. If you are furnishing a room for feng shui, the head of the bed should be placed so that lying on the bed, one could see entering into the room. Also, there are many superstitions associated with the location of the bed with respect to the sides of the world, doors and windows. It does not matter if you are feng shui adherents or you believe in popular signs, if it is important for you where the head of the bed will be, it is better to begin planning with the definition of a place for him.
2. Stick to the budget. Remember that a bed with an intricate forged or elegant leather headrest will cost more than an ordinary tree. Sometimes the creation of a bedroom interior begins with the discovery of a charming bed in one of the furniture salons. Of course, it is very important that the furniture in the bedroom makes you delight. And still, if you are not sure whether you can afford to purchase other pieces of furniture in the same style and from the same materials, take a short pause for reflection.
3. The height of the head of the bed is of great importance in two cases - if your ceilings are very low and if they are so high that you do not know how to fill the space from the tops of furniture to the ceiling. In the first case, of course, you should choose a low head of the bed. In the second, you can not only take a bed with a high headboard, but also artificially extend it by adding cushions to the tone or shelves of the same material from above.
4. Decide which head is more comfortable for you - soft, so it was comfortable to lean on and without pillows, or hard, to achieve the effect of harsh elegance and modernity in its pure form. The skin falls under both categories, but it gives a rather specific look to the interior, which deprives this material of universality, which is inherent, for example, wood.
5. Be creative. Even a boring bed that moves with you from an apartment to an apartment can be revived if you hang something unexpected and original on the headboard. As an unusual option can serve anything from the old door to the installation of children's drawings or a map of the world with marks in places of travel.
6. Browse through a million options before making your final choice. It happens, it seems that the bed of your dreams has already been chosen, and suddenly you come across an idea that is so pleasing that you can change the whole interior for its sake. Looking at the various options for the interior, you can see the effect of the head of the bed on the overall appearance of the room and what combinations best match your inner sense of style and the feeling of beauty.
