Headboards have always been statement pieces, but headboard trends can shape the look and feel of the whole room. Common trends for headboards include:
• Colorful upholstery
We start off with a spotlight on the most colorful bed frames and headboards and this is a series that you simply do not want to miss! From bold and sunny yellow to daring scarlet and majestic purple, this is a collection of the most brilliant and beautiful beds drenched in plenty of color. And the best part of it all is that each of these beds feels perfectly at home in modern bedrooms thanks to the use of simple, straight lines, uncomplicated form and minimal aesthetics. Add to it fabulous, tufted headboards in matching hue and you have a comfortable bed that is also a delightful visual treat.
• Intricate geometric patterns
Headboard pattern doesn’t have to come from the print or weave of upholstery. Here, horizontally stitched padding maximizes comfort and introduces a motif. If you want to make a bedroom feel sumptuous, be inspired by the tactile fabric and width of this design, which gives the room five-star-hotel style. A neat geometric pattern for the headboard echoes the symmetrical chests of drawers, bedside lamps and mirrors in this quietly luxurious bedroom. For a design that’s equally tailored, opt to finish a patterned headboard with studs like these.
• Tufted velvet or cashmere
Tufted headboards add elegance to any space. Furthermore, pair it with modern wallpaper and large open windows with floor length curtains to create a charming, intimate bedroom. Small decor pieces such as a simple wall mirror, succulents, table clocks and candlesticks add to the rooms’s cozy aesthetic.
• Reclaimed wood
A wooden headboard adds warmth, is easy to clean and long lasting. The best part about wood is that it can easily blend with a traditional, modern or transitional bedroom decor. A colourful and asymmetrical bedroom headboard wall design acts as an eye-catching focal point, especially in compact bedrooms. It adds a playful, eclectic vibe, particularly when combined with large, open windows with a long, cosy seat underneath and a gorgeous wooden false ceiling.
• Gold detailing
Our panels add a dramatic effect to any wall size, yet still keeping your space clean and classy. Vant upholstered headboard wall panels will not only upgrade your headboard. The decorative panels will cover any space in your room, ultimately creating an accent wall to suit your style and budget. We offer a variety of durable fabric choices and rich colors, so you can transform your space from boring to bold, accented by your own unique taste.
• Nailheads
Upholstered headboards with nail head trim have a timeless quality that can go with many styles from contemporary to traditional. But they can be really expensive in stores, and if you have the DIY bug, you probably have looked at one and thought you could make one yourself. So, if you want this high end look for you bedroom, I’ll show you how to make an upholstered headboard for a fraction of the price of retailers.
• French and Victorian-inspired
One thing you cannot say about Victorian-era design and its inimitable style is that it is mundane. Nothing is ever understated in these settings, with ornate patterns, decorative ceilings and intricate designs becoming very much the staple of the style. Of course, Victorian style is neither constant nor is it a homogenous, standardized style across the globe. Different regions of the world, architects and local eccentricities have shaped its various versions over time. And in the modern world, it still finds a place alongside the sleek, contemporary styles as it adapts and evolves. We take a look at opulent, elegant and at times astounding Victorian bedrooms that combine form and functionality with a dash of enduring, old world charm. Some of them are seemingly more modern than classic, while others dazzle you with their ‘over the top’ design.
Stock up on contemporary pieces with Victorian-inspired silhouettes. Look for plush, majestic headboards, upholstered bedroom benches, and other pieces that allude to the Victorian era without directly mimicking it. One instantly notices the Venetian plastered walls that add textural beauty and depth to most of these bedrooms, and it is often the bed that is the undoubted focal point with its custom design and additional drapery (we will dig into this deeper in the next section). The ceiling with hand-painted murals and motifs is another remarkable aspect of these bedrooms that leaves you spellbound.
• Monochrome and minimalist
A monochromatic color scheme is one of the easiest decorating palettes to execute, yet it can also be one of the most difficult to get right. Done skillfully, a monochromatic room uses varying tints and shades of a single color to great effect, while mixing various textures to keep things interesting. Done poorly, monochrome might as well be monotonous—it’s a boring room with no variety or interest. The focal point in your bedroom is likely your bed frame, the biggest piece of furniture in the space that the rest of the room revolves around. Therefore, it better live up to that attention—or more specifically, the headboard should live up to it. There are plenty of quietly handsome wood designs and simple upholstered pieces to be found, but the most memorable headboards are the ones that push the envelope. Think oversize, asymmetrical, and three-dimensional.
For those who are all about a "less is more" aesthetic, minimalist decor and furniture can be a great way of introducing serenity and simplicity into your home — and what better place than the bedroom? By being selective with your bed — it must be functional and not excessive — and opting for headboards and frames with clean lines, low-slung silhouettes, natural changes in the grain of the wood, and pared-down designs, you can create a space that's comfortable to retire to each night and wake up in each morning.
