Headboards - Building a Decade Themed Bedroom
Are you bored
with the design in your bedroom and looking for something
new and different to do in the space? Have you thought about
creating a theme in your bedroom inspired by the style of a
particular decade or era? This can greatly affect your mood
upon entering the room and spice up the place by reflecting
your inner personality. One of the best focus points with
which to accomplish this is through the use of headboards,
since they are typically one of the largest and most
prominent pieces in the room. Whether you are inspired by
modern design and have contemporary bedroom furniture or
have some other time period in mind and want to travel back
to that decade, the headboard of your choice can make it all
come together.
For those who are obsessed with the Renaissance and Middle
Ages, you may find that a theme of iron and wood portrays
your innermost thoughts best. Wrought iron headboards can
really reflect the style of the times in several ways, since
this was a standard material for bedding at the time and
also denotes the fierceness of the era with its cold
harshness. You can find these with intricately woven designs
or hard, cold straight bars and right angles, the latter of
which was more common in the Medieval era while the former
became the style during the Renaissance.
If you are a little more interested in recent past, you may
find that a wooden headboard will suit your needs. Depending
on the style, these headboards can be used to signify
several eras, ranging from the Old West to the Puritan era
and even up to the mid-20th century. In fact, wood is still
a popular medium for a headboard today, so if you choose the
style that matches your era of interest, you'll be able to
use wood for almost any purpose.
While not the first time they were available, bookcase
headboards really came into popularity in the 1980's. If
you're feeling a little New Age flare or late disco fever,
this might be the decade for you. Use the shelving to house
your disco ball and lava lamp (left over from the 70s), as
well as your books on evolution and pop culture. Be sure you
have pictures of Rick Springfield and Cyndi Lauper on the
walls, too!
If all else fails, you can use prints to denote the style of
your room and the era for which you are decorating.
Upholstered headboards make it simple and fun to create a
theme for your bedroom, allowing you the ability to
redecorate often with ease and just a piece of cloth and a
few staples. Use paisley for the 70s, fluorescent shades for
the 60s, all black to recognize the Gothic wave of the 90s,
or flashy metallic colors for the new millennium. Whatever
your preferred era is, you can find a way to create a
bedroom theme around it with headboards as your centerpiece
and the draw to attention for any visitor.
