Ever since I can remember—and if I tell you how many years then I’d be dating myself 😂—headboards have been traditional and boring. There used to be “bedroom suites” with all the furniture pieces being “matchy matchy”. UGH, so dull. But not anymore! Today’s headboard has taken on it’s own personality & style in the bedroom.
Now—anything goes and I’m so thankful for designers and creative types thinking outside the box in order to liven up our tranquil sleeping space. The bedroom is a sanctuary for renewing our body, mind and spirit as we sleep…but it doesn’t have to be unimaginative! Of course, each individual has a different sense of what will relax and revive them. For some, minimal spa-like surroundings enable them to fall into a peaceful slumber. For others, a room which inspires their mind visually, can bring comfort and tranquility.
I’m in love with all of these unique headboard design ideas…and each one creates a different feeling for me. Let’s see which is your favorite!
