Every detail matters when it comes to designing your personal space: we all want to make it stylish, functional, welcoming and infused with ultimate comfort, and sometimes even a small touch can change the game. If we take bedrooms, I’d say that a headboard is one of such details because it seems unnecessary but in reality it may add a lot to your feeling cozy in the room. A headboard is not just decor, it can be very functional, too, and even become the centerpiece in the room. Today’s roundup is dedicated to headboards that can definitely steal the show making your bedroom functional at the same time, and these are modern extended headboards.
An extended headboard isn’t always part of the bed itself, there are many options you can buy and add or even easily DIY to accent the bedroom. They can fulfill just decor functions, they can add practical value to the space, which is perfect for tiny bedrooms, and they can raise the level of coziness and comfort you feel in the bedroom. Let’s consider all the options for you to choose the best one.
Decorative Extended Headboards
Decorative headboards are great if you need a focal point in the bedroom and it seems too plain to you. Such a headboard won’t be very practical in terms of storage but it will definitely add decorative value to the room.
Materials
The most popular materials for such headboards are fabric, wood and plywood, though you can also find some panels or screens, too. As for fabric, velvet and boucle are the leaders as everything textural is on top and as they are very pleasant to touch.
