Accessorizing the area behind your headboard can be a tricky task. Should you use one large item? Should you use one small item? Should you do a grouping of items? And what if you have windows above your headboard- does that mean you don't accessorize at all?
The photos in this ideabook showcase several awesome options. From one small plate, to a large grouping of them. From art to artifacts. From round items to rectangular- it seems you can't go wrong as long as you accessorize with something you love!
