Function
-
Your bed is the largest piece of furniture in your bedroom and should be given the importance it deserves with stylish and impacting design. Typically the main focal point, headboards function as both a practical component and a design element. Fortunately, there is no need to spend a lot of money purchasing a headboard when creating a custom one is so simple. This easy project produces striking results, so amaze yourself with your creativity.
Size
-
The scope of your headboard should match the scale of your room. If you have a large, open bedroom, create a large headboard. If your room is smaller, choose a frame for your headboard that will adequately match the width of your bed, but keep the height of the headboard to a minimum. Size matters in design, so make sure you don't overwhelm a small room with a giant headboard. Also consider any artwork or photos that may live over your bead. Make sure to leave room for them when you measure for your headboard.

Effects

Choosing to upholster your headboard helps create a more opulent feel, even in the most modest surroundings. Whether you prefer a straightforward and sleek design or one with upholstered buttons, the overall effect of your headboard should make a statement in the room.
Benefits
-
Creating an upholstered headboard is something anyone can accomplish, no matter their skill level. You will need a frame, fabric, batting and a staple gun. Spray glue is also helpful for laying the batting. Wrap the front of the frame in batting and staple the back. Do the same with your fabric and you have an upholstered headboard in a very short amount of time. With the money you save and the effect you create, you may end up wanting to upholster something in every room.
Considerations
-
The upholstery fabric you choose should coordinate well with your other design choices, but keep in mind that you may change your wall or bedding colors before you need to reupholster your headboard. Neutral fabrics may be the wisest choice if you redecorate often.
