One of my favorite suggestions for clients wanting to redo their bedrooms, is to do an upholstered headboard or bed.
Many times people have a wood framed bed with matching or near matching nightstands, dressers, armoires, etc. When you go to a retail store, they make it easy to buy the "set". However, an upholstered headboard or bed is really more comfortable and can really soften the look and make a bedroom seem custom designed and luxurious.
The headboard can be made higher, to make a statement and command the room, as the bed wall is typically the focal point of a bedroom. You can do an interesting shape, some tufting, a patterned fabric, etc., and dramatically change the look. You can just play with the style and do whatever you want.
I’m sharing a few clients' bedrooms today, where we’ve done the upholstered bed and then I've got some great models for you to shop for your bedroom.
