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.
