Heavenly headboards
The kitchen, the bathroom, living room, family room. Every room in
the house derives its name from its function, except the bedroom,
which is discretely named instead for it’s most prominent piece of
furniture, the bed.
Yet though the bed often dominates this space, it is the headboard
that is the defining feature, which sets the stage for the rest of
the rooms’ décor.
Happily, this means that you can alter the entire effect of the
room, merely by changing the headboard. So, why not play it up? Why
not create a heavenly headboard that makes a spectacular statement
and becomes the star of the show.
Instead of buying a mass-manufactured headboard, customizing this
single element leaves you open to the creative flexibility of being
able to change your mind over the years.
This ability to easily redefine a space, is a design direction that
will prolong the ‘style’ longevity of the rest of your furnishings.
Without having to alter the entire room, a custom headboard can
create a specific character in the room today, yet realign your look
for an opposite effect tomorrow.
You can have the opulence of a fabric-draped confection, accented
with curved wood detailing. However, if later you find you’d prefer
the sophisticated architectural geometry of an oversize upholstered,
picture-frame approach, it can be achieved with little disruption
and with less cost than replacing all of your bedroom furnishings.
So the next time you’re thinking of refurbishing your bedroom,
include interior design in the equation.
Call a creative designer to create this custom detail. There is a
saying in design that ‘God is in the details’. You’ll find a
heavenly headboard adds an element of individuality to your
inspiration, which allows you to easily alter the details of your
dream room to whatever your taste may be at any given time.
