Headboards and Footboards

A plain bed quickly becomes appealing when a headboard and footboard are added. They can provide an upscale appearance for even a downscaled bedroom.

But which headboard is the right one for your bedroom?

With a variety of styles and types, choosing a headboard, and footboard, can be as difficult as picking your favorite candy from a candy store’s display case. Feasting your eyes on the choices, you might wonder:

Would a traditional headboard with overlay details add an elegant touch?
Would a headboard that features a bookcase and display shelf provide needed storage and still be attractive?
Would a wrought iron headboard with scrollwork dress up a plain bed?
Would 2 headboards, 1 for the head and 1 for the foot, add extra pizzazz?

Most headboards and footboards can fit a standard bed frame. So first consider the different styles to see which of them complements your bed and bedroom.

Styles

Traditional or classic – With wood high arches, acanthus overlay details, dark finishes
Contemporary – Metal frames, straight-line designs, microfiber panels, leather materials
Country – Bookcase headboards with some, divided cubbies and display shelves
Transitional – Typically with metal and wood combinations
Nautical or cottage – White panels, decorative molding, louvered accents
Tropical – Natural materials such as rattan, abaca and woven field grasses
Mission/Shaker – Slatted panels framed by turned posts and topped with ball finials

Next consider the type of headboard and footboard that fits with your furnishings:

Types

Wood – Hardwoods, composite woods
Metal – Wrought iron, tubular steel or other metal
Mixed media – Combination of wood and metal

Finally, look at the various features that come with specific styles and types. Because some features are available only with specific headboards, your choice in features may help you narrow your options in headboards.

Features

Bookcases and shelves
Mirrored bookcase
Integrated light in headboard
Choices in finishes
Some headboards also attach as matching footboard

Whichever style or type of headboard and footboard you choose, you’ll find that they’ll stand tall in giving your bedroom a warm and pleasing appearance.
