I have had print upholstered headboard with ruffled (gathered) matching skirt for years! Good quality fabic but faded and time to change. An upholstered headboard with matching upholstered bed frame has been suggested. I am not sure what that looks like, did Google some pictures, though.

Does the bedspread need to be tucked in? That's seems like a lot of work each day!!!

I do tend to lean toward traditional look. Appreciate any advice or pictures to help me see this look. Picture of my current bed, sorry for fuzzy picture. (Will be changing to king size.)
