Take Your Headboard to New Lengths

Ide Cohen says:

The only one I like is the tufted version. The others are not appealing.

Laurel Ennis says:

Me too, Ide. But I also think that's a great spot for spiders to hide out. Creeps me out.

I like it all

I like the first tufted version the best. Not a big fan of overextended, exaggerated and/or puffy headboards which span the wall, as they seem to overwhelm the room in an oddly disproportionate manner. Maybe too much of a good thing whereas when used as a minimal accent, thus only slightly higher and/or slightly longer it might be nice? I personally want my headboard to define and accent my bed rather than it engulfing my room. Pic number four gives me a sense of claustrophobia, kind of like a padded room, layers upon layers just too much in my opinion. That room could be absolutely beautiful with the view and trey ceiling if done in a more minimal elegant style, but rather it appears cramped, overstuffed and gaudy to me, with the gorgeous view taking a backseat to all the layers.

LOL, not for me.

Don't care for this fad.

CAROLE MEYER says:

These are beautiful and make such a dramatic statement. As for the idea that they are a fad....I would say that all new design could be called a fad....but good design is good design and what the heck....live and love for the now just a bit!

great in a guest room with twin beds. Put the twins together, it looks like a king size bed with a headboard. Pull the beds apart when necessary and you still have a headboard behind the bed.

I used a low, re-purposed shelving unit to make a headboard like this and floated it in my modest master bedroom. I used the shelving side for discreet clothes storage and had just enough room on each side of the bed for a stack of small drawers that I bought at Cost Plus for night stands. I upholstered the back of the unit for the headboard. It was a great solution because at the time I couldn't find any headboards that were low enough to fit under my windows. Plus, the windows were not centered and the balance of the whole room would have been thrown off. I loved it. It was more that eight years ago, I would hardly call it a fad. Hotels have been using this look for years and years.
