My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Headboard guidelines

11 years ago
Love the headboard--was it custom made? I noticed that it is a bit wider than the mattress. Are there any hard and fast guidelines for width and height for headboards?

    Yes, it was custom made. I wanted the headboard to be a focal point and had it fabricated taller to give it stature. There are no hard and fast rules on sizes, but I would consider it fitting the scale of the room. Thanks!
