The use of bedheads or headboards on a bed has gained popularity in recent times. Historically headboards were used only to keep drafts from the sleeping occupants. More recently they have been used as an aesthetic feature of a bedroom. As the bed is often the central focus point of a room, it seems logical that it is the bedhead that is the feature. Invest some time into choosing the best bedhead for the space. Consider the size of the room, the height of the ceiling and the style and colour palate of the design. The bedhead can be seen as a purely design feature of the room, or it can have a function, as a bookshelf or as a place to put a light. There are so many designs, sizes and materials used to create wonderful headboards today. Homify has found 8 great headboards to inspire the design genius.

The upholstered texture gives it an extra dimension of class and style. The colour palate of the bed reflects that of the room, based on a neutral white and the rich, warm tones of dark timber.
