Beautiful Headboards You'll Never Find In Any Furniture Store
If ever there was a room in your home that should be a true reflection of your personal style, it has to be the bedroom. Your bedroom is your haven, your escape from whatever craziness this ole world has chosen to throw your way that day.
When designing or decorating your bedroom, your bed...being the largest piece in the room, is going to have a huge impact on the overall look. Often the bed is the focal point in a room due to its sheer size.
So, since beds are often focal points whether we like it or not...play it up and make it beautiful and dramatic with a fabulous headboard. Forget those old boring furniture stores...shop salvage yards and antique shops for unique one of a kind pieces that are headboards in disguise. Here are some beautiful beds to get your creative thoughts flowing...

| Screens are so versatile and as you see here, they can beautifully create the illusion of a headboard. |

Shutters, especially if they are nice and tall, make for a dramatic headboard. Add little architectual or decorative pieces to the top to create a nice shape or pediment effect.

Can you imagine anything other than sweet dreams in this gorgeous room? I adore the mantel headboard, but my favorite part has to be the wreath shape placed atop the mantel mirror.

| Not sure if this headboard started out it's life as a trellis, but if not, this definitely gives me some ideas on using old gates or trellises in the bedroom. The black is so pretty against the color of the walls. |

This bed has an industrial vibe with its corrugated metal headboard. I love that it's cut in a very traditional headboard shape and yet, its anything but traditional in style.

Another beautiful trellis look...so dramatic against the white walls.

Have a wonderful quilt that is just too nice to keep stuffed away in a closet. Pull it out and hang it from a decorative rod to create a dramatic look behind the bed.
With paint and imagination you can create any headboard your heart can dream up.

| I'm not sure if those are windows with actual stained-glass in them, or if they are stained glass panels that are against the windows. But this look could definitely be created with stained glass panels or doors placed behind the bed. Very dramatic and beautiful.
