As I am slowly, but surely collecting furnishings and decorations for my new home I have my eyes peeled open looking for inspiration. That is just what I found when I happened upon this idea for making one’s own headboard. What I liked most about this approach is that it works perfectly well for both small or large beds, and truly gives you the opportunity to show off your personal style. Here you can express if you are an Victorian era enthusiast, a fan of Indian designs, or more of a contemporary buff.

This smart design involves a wooden dowel and the fabric of your choice. I strongly recommend using a fabric that has a border as it helps to define the space better. If you are striving to unify the décor in multiple rooms in your home, then this feature becomes key in that venture. Choose a fabric that coordinates with pillows on your couch, or curtains in another space. This will definitely make things flow nicely. It works best when you can see the fabrics from different rooms. The pattern should also bring in depth, and can be an excellent spot to incorporate another texture.
