9. Bold-colored sofas. A daring sofa color tackles two common design challenges: adding color and creating a focal point.

Q

1. Bring flowers. In a mostly white and pattern-free room, a floral headboard stands out. The effect here is one of natural abundance, with the riot of blooms and foliage bringing life to the cool, calm room, but the blue-only tones keep things transitional rather than cottage-y. Note how the geometric patterns of the pillows dressing the bed tilt the balance to the contemporary too.

Q

2. Stay sharp. This room turns the pairing of floral headboard and geometric pillows on its head, with painterly blooms on the pillows and a tailored design on the headboard. In a warm color, the headboard ensures that the room is a cozy haven without compromising the smartness of the design. Want to make a high-ceilinged room feel warmer?

3. Keep it crisp. A neat geometric pattern for the headboard echoes the symmetrical chests of drawers, bedside lamps and mirrors in this quietly luxurious bedroom. For a design that’s equally tailored, opt to finish a patterned headboard with studs like these.

9. Be size-wise. A headboard doesn’t have to be sized to the bed alone. This version extends beyond to create a backdrop for the bedside tables. Follow this room’s lead with simple graphic images above intricate upholstery to avoid visual overload.

8. Incorporate an outline. In this room, velvet edges the patterned upholstery of the headboard, creating a frame for the delicate design within. The texture, along with the black-lacquered bedside tables and a gold-and-cream wall covering, ups the opulence of the bedroom. Contrast piping is an alternative if you like the idea of a headboard border for a more formal look.9 Ways to Work a Velvet Headboard

7. Double up. The headboard in this room does sterling work as a display shelf, as well as drawing the eye to the bed. With a white background, the stylized design complements the crisp white of the bed linen, and the overall look is chic and modern. Adding lighting to a solid headboard like this is a real space saver when there’s no room for bedside tables and lamps on both sides.
