The bed is one of the most important pieces of furniture in every house. Here you lie down to rest, read, watch TV and do many other things. Beds are also the decorative main piece of every bedroom. They usually take up the most space and therefore attract the most attention.
The bed sets the tone for the bedroom decoration, which is inspired by the headboard. Simple headboards may require an accent wall, while ornate headboards may look better in simple environments or vintage-style rooms.
Each bed is equipped with a headboard. However, if you want a really original looking bed, you should replace or decorate the headboard. Can't you see how? Here are many DIY rustic wood headboard ideas that we have collected for you.
