GRID LOCKED
Instead of a conventional headboard, Cape designer Hendre Bloem mounted a series of padded boards on the wall behind the bed, carrying through the contemporary look of the rest of the house.
MIXED MEDIA
A combination of timber and upholstered panels, this headboard by Storehaus Design was designed to accommodate the mirrored pedestals. The horizontal shape visually stretches the room and complements the modern bed.
PRINTS CHARMING
If you prefer white linen but still want colour and pattern in your bedroom, then an upholstered headboard is the ideal way to do this. Interior designer Amanda Walters chose a striking floral, repeating the pattern on a scatter cushion and accentuating it with a coordinating plain one.
GOING BAROQUE
Think out of the ordinary, as this ornate headboard is outlined in nailhead studs and the gorgeous watermelon shade is shown off to perfection against the patterned wallpaper. Decor by Lisa Walters Interiors.
PATTERN REPEAT
For continuity, the fabric on this curved headboard has been repeated on the quilt. The shape draws the eye up making the bedroom appear larger. All fabrics by Harlequin from Black Fabrics.
