Reasons Why a Headboard is Important for Your Bedroom


It’s no secret that headboards add tons of personality and design flair to any bedroom, so you’ll want one of your own as soon as possible! Luckily, there are plenty of different styles, colours and materials to choose from, so you can tailor the perfect headboard to your tastes, decor and room size. Here are 5 reasons why a headboard is important for your bedroom...


The importance of a headboard

For starters, the headboard should be aligned with the head of your bed so that you're not twisting or contorting yourself to rest against it. It can also provide storage space (behind, under, or both) so that you're not tripping over books and clothes when you get out of bed in the middle of the night. If you want your bed to look luxurious from all angles, consider one with ample artful decoration. And if you're single and living on your own, taking care of your neck pains will feel like the least icky part about going home to an empty apartment at night.


A Headboard Lends Personality to Your Bed

A headboard can be a great opportunity to put your stamp on your bedroom. For example, you may want to use the space to showcase treasured art pieces from past trips or events. Another way you can use your headboard to express yourself creatively is by painting it with a pattern that tells something about your interests or personality. A personalized headboard will help make any room feel more like home.


The right headboard provides an anchor point in your bedroom

A headboard provides an anchor point in your bedroom. It establishes the perimeter of your sleep space and when you have guests in your bedroom, it's a guide to where they should be sitting and not going. A headboard can also act as built-in shelving, artwork, storage space or an extra place to sit on the bed.


A bed needs a focal point

1. A bed needs a focal point. I don't know about you, but when I go to sleep at night and I have nothing to look at, it's kind of uncomfortable. Not only does a headboard give you something to look at before you fall asleep, but it also gives your bedroom a focal point that makes the space feel complete and inviting.

2. Nightstands can be clunky and take up valuable space in your bedroom that might be better served to be a place to hang clothes or keep necessary accessories close by your bedside. A headboard replaces the need for these items while freeing up floor space or drawers in your room which results in more living/storage space. 


A good headboard allows you to use your walls better

If you are short on space or trying to conserve your energy, then the headboard is the way to go. Not only does it create the illusion of more space, but by taking away from your wall area, you allow your walls to better serve their function which most likely includes displaying artwork or family photos. There are a plethora of other ways that headboards can be advantageous in smaller spaces: they can also be utilized as an additional seating option, as an attractive and built-in desk or as storage space.


The right choice can change the whole look of your bedroom
