There’s a new and very cozy trend for bedroom décor, and these are hanging pillow or cushion headboards! This is not just a pile of pillows put as a headboard, these are pillows hanging on the wall to compose a headboard. Such a headboard is comfortable, very soft, it’s pleasant to lean on, and you can easily DIY one to match your bedroom – it can be made of any fabric and even the pillows can be DIYed by you. The good thing is even if your bed doesn’t have a headboard, you will get a trendy one. There are various shapes, sizes and looks you can try, take a look at some ideas below!
Pillow Headboards
Take proper pillows in any fabric that you like – pay attention to velvet and leather that will add texture to your space. The pillows can be usual or flat, they can be hung on a metal holder or some leather straps that match. Choose a contrasting color for your headboard to add a touch of shade, or at least go for a bold metal holder – a copper, brass or black one. There are lots of DIY projects around the web to take ideas from, get inspired!

Long Cushion Headboards
A long cushion headboard will look a bit more elegant and laconic than a usual pillow one giving a less casual feel to the space. Such a headboard is usually more flat and can be tufted or not depending on the touch of style that you want to give to your space. I love flat leather headboards hanging, they look very modern and fresh and these small rings that they are hanging on make the space more relaxed. Even if you have a basic headboard, you may add some rings to hang it or cut it off and hang on holders. Get inspired and make your bedroom ultimate.
