What Your Headboard Says About You!
Did you know that the headboard you choose for your bed can
speak volumes about who you are? Of course, many people
don't think about this, especially since bedrooms are fairly
private. However, if anyone does venture into your private
sanctuary, they'll find a lot of information just from the
decorations you've chosen for your personal space,
especially in the form of your headboard.
If you have a metal headboard, you're telling people that
you are sensible and no nonsense. While the actual type of
metal may say something else, your choice of metal means
that you are mindful of the need to decorate (otherwise, you
wouldn't have a headboard in the first place), yet frugal in
expenditures. A metal headboard is inexpensive compared to
wooden ones, and your option to save money shows your regard
for the ability to scrimp while still maintaining beautiful
décor.
If the metal headboard is made of iron, you have modern
taste and enjoy the harshness of the style and coloring. The
unfinished look of this metalwork speaks volumes of your
love of efficient and minimal decor. A wrought iron
headboard also shows your love for the metalworking itself,
with some of the shapes into which the iron is molded can be
quite intricate and artistic, despite its minimalistic
appearance.
If you have chosen a brass headboard, however, it says
something totally different about you. You like the shine of
the metal and the way it calls attention to itself. You've
chosen metal because it is less expensive and makes more
sense on a budget, but you still want a sense of
fancifulness and Renaissance style decor. You like to dream
of the past and perhaps don't completely approve of where
the future will take you, at least in terms of design
standards.
If your bed is topped with a wooden headboard, you are as
classical as they come. No matter how intricate the carvings
in the wood or how simple the design of the board, this
tells visitors prying into your room that you want to feel
important and protected. An especially large or tall wooden
headboard can either mean that you feel the need to be
watched over or that you have an air of superiority about
yourself. It speaks to your need for extravagance and
expensive taste and gives you a sense of empowerment.
Reading your headboard can be much like analyzing your
handwriting in terms of determining factors of your
personality. Taste in furnishings, clothes, cars - literally
everything we touch - is developed by our personality so can
give others clues to who we really are.
Headboards are as varied as there are people. Contemporary
or Traditional, Wood, Upholstered or Metal, Headboards
provide a way to set the tone in the room you spend so much
time in. Whether you see yourself as a Warrior or an Earth
Mother, Computer Genius or Farmer, there are Headboards that
can help you express that persona. Take the time to make
your bedroom your special private retreat. It will create a
peaceful place to come home to.

Headboards can change a
bedroom from glam to minimalist in an instant. It may also
reflect the bedroom owner's personality.
Everyone has
different stylistic ideas and desires, and these come out
most easily in bedroom designs. One way that a number of
people choose to express themselves is through the choice of
headboards that make the focal point on the beds. Some
people choose to keep the design minimalistic and simple,
while others opt for extravagant pieces that stand out
regardless of the additional décor in the room.
Unfortunately, some people don't realize that there is a
style of headboard out there for them and forego this huge
element in their bedroom, leaving it with an empty or
unfinished appearance.
Rest assured, there is a headboard out there for any
bedroom. If you can't find the perfect design style
immediately, there are always other options. You may want to
start by looking at something basic and versatile, like
wrought iron headboards, that fit into any basic theme you
may create in your bedroom space. These can be left blank to
hold their own focus, or you can dress them up with
additional fabrics and décor to weave them into the design
of the room more wholly.
Leather headboards can create a sophisticated look for your
bedroom area, making it look expensive and tasteful. They
really draw attention to themselves as the center focus of
the room, so other elements don't need to be as strong as
with some other styles. Many of these headboards are large
and imposing, though, so if you are a minimalist, this type
of headboard is probably not the number one option for you.
You might want to consider something smaller and less
dominating of the space.
If you are really having trouble finding your style,
consider purchasing a blank slate. If you take a simple
wooden or particleboard headboard and purchase the material
of your choice along with some cotton batting, you can
create upholstered headboards that are customized to your
liking. That way, you can match it perfectly to the rest of
the room, and you can rest assured that you will really like
the design. Also, if you ever tire of the look, you can
remove the current upholstery and recover the headboard to
match your new style. It's a simple process that doesn't
take long and only requires a good staple gun and a pair of
scissors to remove excess cloth.
If all else fails, you can work with something function,
like bookcase headboards. These will surround the bed and
give you quite a bit of storage space for anything from
books and magazines to a telephone and photo frames that are
to be displayed in your bedroom. The only real downside to
this kind of headboard is the need to dust it frequently,
since the shelving is exposed. However, if you just brush
over it daily with a duster, it will not become a painful
chore. Best of all, you not only have a headboard that is a
great focal point but also lots of space for other things
that you keep in your bedroom.
