Love It or Hate It? Chartreuse Tufted Headboard
Chartreuse is one of those colors that people have a hard time feeling neutral about. This Chartreuse Tufted Headboard ($1,709) is built on a maple frame that's been covered in tufted, chartreuse suede. Part of me loves it, but I doubt that I could handle the color — or decorating around the color — for very long.
Cool Idea: Chalk Headboard in 500 Days of Summer
As I've mentioned before, 500 Days of Summer is full of design eye candy. One of my favorite décor ideas siphoned from the film is Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character's chalkboard wall headboard. Chalkboard paint, as you know, is quite trendy these days in the interior design world.
Guess What This Headboard Is Made From?
This basketweave headboard is made from a type of leaf that is woven together. Can you guess what type of leaves are used to make this headboard? (Hint: think tropical.)
Casa Verde: An Upcycled Headboard
Craftster member Jessyratfink recently posted pictures of this awesome book headboard project. She's no stranger to upcycling old books into home furnishings. In fact, we featured her DIY instructions for a book-legged table here.
Do You Have an Upholstered Headboard?
Metal or wooden headboards are often more timeless and versatile than upholstered ones, which is a plus if you've invested in your furniture. But, upholstered headboards are much more comfortable and ideal for those of you who like to read in bed. I love this sunny yellow floral headboard, but I might tire of the pattern quickly.
Before and After: Thrifted Headboards Get Glam Update
When Country Living editors Larry Bilotti and Robin Long Mayer discovered twin headboards at a garage sale, they grabbed them for $10 total, with the idea of transforming them into something new. Taking a cue from the indented panel in the headboard's design, they brainstormed ways to highlight this feature.

Love It or Hate It? The Drapers' Headboard
Whenever there's a scene in Mad Men involving the Drapers' bedroom, my eyes are always drawn to their tufted velvet headboard. Its color, texture, and tufting are over-the-top feminine, and reflect nothing of Don's removed masculinity. But maybe that's the point of this headboard — to reflect how removed Don Draper is from his home and its contents and inhabitants.
Nice and New: West Elm's Nailhead Upholstered Headboard
I love the mix of rustic undyed jute fabric with the more distinguished use of nailhead trim in this Nailhead Upholstered Headboard ($399 for queen) from West Elm. It practically screams (or maybe, more appropriately, demurely purrs) glamour au naturel. I wouldn't mind dressing up a bedroom with this headboard.
Cool Idea: Painted Stripes Headboard
I've written about painted headboards before (and even DIY'd my own), so it's really nothing new. But, I am loving how design firm Shelton, Mindel & Associates made the entire wall behind this sleeping space a focal point with bold stripes, and within that created a focal point above the headboard by painting stripes in a slightly lighter shade than the rest. This look is really easy and affordable to achieve in your own home.
