{3. Create a clever headboard}

“Designer April Force Pardoe of AFP Interiors, LLC, recommends switching out a traditional headboard with a decorative element others wouldn’t expect to find behind the bed. ‘For example, paint the shape of a headboard behind the bed in a contrasting color to the wall color. Use an interesting shape versus an expected rectangle or metallic paint to make it pop.’

Pardoe also notes that artwork and painted doors can be hung or propped behind the bed in place of common headboards. “Even woven round place mats can work to create the look of a headboard,” she adds.”

Enjoy!
