Historically, headboards for beds were made to protect sleeping people from the drafts of cold winds at night. With modern buildings being built in a well-insulated fashion, the headboard serves an aesthetic purpose, establishing a decor in the bedroom. Here we have picked up few headboards that are sure to define the decor of the bedroom and give it a face-lift too.
1. DIY books headboard
Perfect for an intellectual decor, this headboard can be created as a simple carpentry DIY. The books can be changed on a regular basis and be updated with the ones being read. The headboard gets a functional quotient as well, offering the sleeper with a choice of books for bed-time reading.
2. Aqua world headboard
Sleepless? Try counting fishes instead of sheep as you go to bed at night with this unique aquarium-headboard. The lighting can be changed according to the mood one wishes to establish. The combination of glass, water, light and life is sure to act as an aphrodisiac too.
3. Cushion wall headboard
This is a modern and elegant type of headboard made of dozens of cushions which is also highly functional. The headboard offers a comfortable backrest for a late-night movie or while sipping a hot cuppa in the morning.
4. Extended headboard
By extending itself to the ceiling as well, this headboard achieves a visual separation of the sleeping area from the rest of the bedroom. Adding a couple of shelves with plants and using pillows with floral designs gives the whole bedroom a ‘green’ and eco-friendly ambiance.
5. Wall headboard
This is a very special headboard in the sense that it creatively makes use of the wall behind the bed itself to act as the headboard. The only disadvantage with this modern looking ‘headboard’ is that if one wishes to change the location of the bed later on, it might be a difficult proposition!
