So, you went and bought a brand new bedroom set.
You purchased a great new bed, a gorgeous armoire and a roomy dresser.
However, something seems to be missing and you cannot quite put your finger on it? The balance of the room seems to be off for some reason.
Your otherwise gorgeous armoire seems just a tad imposing.
What exactly is throwing everything off? That is it! A king headboard! That will add just the right amount of height to balance out the room and create the look that you are trying to achieve.
There are so many options when looking at a king headboard.
You can go with wood.
Wood headboards are commonly available in oak, pine, maple and mahogany.
Each of those are available in different finishes, from a light stain to a dark cherry.
If you opt for metal, you will be able to find a variety of styles from a thin spindle to a thicker scroll style.
Metal can come in virtually any color that you would like.
You can get the usual metallic finishes such as brass, bronze, silver, chrome or gold.
You could also get metal headboards that are painted or powder coated in any color of your choosing.
Wicker headboards are certainly making a comeback.
While 'out' for a while, they have been increasingly popular recently.
They are also available in different colors or finishes, but natural and white seem to be the most popular.
There are, of course, other options also.
You can choose from bamboo, rattan or iron if one of those is more suitable to your taste.
When pricing your king headboard, keep in mind that the material itself is going to affect the price.
You will also note that oftentimes the more intricately styled headboards are pricier than those that are less fussy.
A great place to begin your shopping is online.
There is a lot of selection out there and it is helpful to be able to compare products side by side.
If you are having a problem choosing between headboards, consider the following questions: · Whose room will this be going into? · Do I want everything to match, or would I rather have a more eclectic look? · Who will be using the bed? · What type of feeling am I going for in the room? If this king headboard is going into your three year old's room, the style you pick will probably be much different than if it is going into a guest room that your 80 year old father is likely to use.
This purchase will last for many years to come, so think ahead.
If you will use this king headboard for a current guest room, but plan to have a child in the future, you may want to think in terms of versatility.
A pink powder coated metal frame style may not be the best choice for a guest room (although very cute for a child!), but a traditional wicker piece may suit both needs.
More than anything choose based on your taste.
If you like it and it suits your needs, just go for it!
