Wood - this is the most common option. The material is environmentally friendly, natural, durable and looks very beautiful. Natural wood for decoration is quite expensive, so you can consider modern analogues that are cheaper in price and not much different, for example, chipboard or MDF.
It is not difficult to work with such materials, so a wooden headboard can be made in various shapes and a variety of decor can be added to it (curly carving, varnish coating, the effect of old furniture, addition of fabric trim or eco-leather, etc.).
Bedroom in turquoise shades in a minimalist style
Minimalism has always been famous for its penchant for simplicity.
There are no bulky details in the furnishings or frills in decoration. Bedrooms designed in a minimalist style are characterized by simple furniture, shelves made of natural wood, and a combination of metal and glass throughout the decor. The decoration of the bedroom can be an emphasis on textiles made in different shades of turquoise tones.
Stone and mosaic
Stone and mosaic look very interesting and unusual at the head of a bed; they attract attention both with their pattern and their unusual texture.
A stone headboard will not retain heat well, and when you touch such a covering, you may even want to move away from it - so this is not the best choice. If this option is the most preferable, then designers recommend making the headboard not entirely from stone, but diluting it and adding, for example, elements of wood or leather, you can hang a sconce with warm light.
Turquoise bedroom in high-tech style
The high-tech style is characterized by a commitment to high technology in the design of any room. A bedroom made in this style looks stylish, cozy, and at the same time conservative.
New lighting technologies and a clear layout are perfectly reflected against the background of azure walls, textiles, and furniture made in different shades of turquoise. The harmony of the interior will be complemented by curtains made in the same color as textiles, and decor with elements of glass inserts.
Textile
Textiles (furniture fabric, tulle, genuine leather, eco-leather) are often used and this is justified: the look of such backrests is spectacular and elegant. A bed with a soft headboard is very comfortable for the user, and in the interior it sets an atmosphere of comfort, warmth and luxury.
The type of fabric plays a significant role in the soft back. Thus, beds upholstered in velvet or velor will laconically complement a bedroom in the Baroque style, and a leather headboard will look advantageous in a classic interior; satin is appropriate in the Empire style.

Fabric and leather have a huge variety of colors and shades; they can be complemented with patterns, embroidery, beads and other elements. The soft upholstery of the bed can be finished with stitches of various shapes (diamonds or carriage stitches are more common).
For independent, extraordinary remodeling, bamboo stems, screens, wallpaper, pillows, woven tatami mats, and vintage carpets are often used.
Selecting the color
Before determining the style, you can understand the desired color effect. The color can be chosen to be non-contrasting (when the shades match the walls as closely as possible); low-contrast (if the color complements the shade of the walls, but does not merge with them); contrasting (the color on the headboard stands out against the background of the walls).
A contrasting color will highlight the furniture and make a bright accent. It will narrow the wall a little, but in large bedrooms it will not make the room heavier. Often non-contrasting or low-contrast shades are used for bedrooms. Pastel colors will suit all styles; in addition, they will not visually reduce the wall in the room due to contrast.
Popular shades are white, gray, beige, brown, black. They allow you to add different decor, neutral or bright.
A turquoise backrest can become a bright decoration of the room. It can be combined with marine styles. Can be complemented with white, blue or light blue wallpaper.
A blue back can refresh the interior. It is suitable for Provence, country, classic and English style.
Deep blue is considered the new black, meaning it suits many styles. Shades of wood, snow-white, beige and gray are well suited for a rich headboard.
Red is too bright for a bedroom and does not promote relaxation. But everyone is different and some people need red. You can combine a bright bed with light walls, wooden finishing elements, upholstery of poufs or curtains.
Brown color is very beautiful. Can be used in various styles. It will look interesting in neoclassical style in combination with a carriage tie made of eco-leather.
The pink color scheme can be bright or muted, so it can be used for many styles. It is suitable for glamorous girls if you upholster the headboard with hot pink velvet and a carriage tie with the addition of rhinestones. For dreamy people, you can choose delicate shades.
Mirrors and glossy backrests
Mirrors and the glossy surface of the backrests will be appropriate in small rooms, because they can visually increase the space.
Mirrored headboards come in different varieties: they may have an engraving or design on them; it may not be a pure mirror, but aged or tinted glass. You can use a single large sheet, or you can use small mirror pieces from which you can assemble a pattern, honeycomb, mosaic, etc.
Basic selection rules
In addition to visual appeal, your sleeping place should be comfortable. The most traditional bed shape is a rectangle. It fits into any interior; choosing bedding and mattresses is not difficult. When choosing a round, oval, arched bed, you will need to make custom-made accessories. In addition, such furniture takes up more space.
The length of the sleeping place must exceed the height of the person who will sleep on it by at least 10 cm. The width is selected at the rate of at least 70 cm per person. Fashionable low beds are suitable for young people; older people should prefer a high bed.
The frame can have a base made of chipboard, MDF, solid wood, or be forged from iron. Metal and wooden bases are the strongest, most durable, but have a high price. Products made from chipboard and MDF have a short service life, which depends on the quality of the frame assembly. The base with flexible crossbars and lamellas has high orthopedic properties. Spring or metal slats do not provide enough support for the mattress.
You can conveniently organize the storage of things by placing drawers at the bottom of the base or choosing a product with a lifting mechanism. When selecting material and mattress heights, individual preferences are used.
If you purchase a bed made of unpainted solid wood, you can repaint it gray yourself. Acrylic paints and a layer of water-based varnish will allow you to create a unique piece of furniture from a standard bed. To decorate the headboard, you can use pieces of leather, fabric, forged elements, or add a canopy to the product.
Don't be afraid to experiment and create your bedroom interior to your liking. The multifaceted gray color opens up wide scope for experimentation.

Peculiarities
Bedroom furniture must certainly be comfortable, made from reliable materials (solid wood, MDF). A good solution is beds with a soft headboard. Their headboard consists of a frame made of durable material (wood, metal, chipboard, MDF, plywood) and upholstered in textiles with soft filling, so the back is highly soft. You can comfortably lean your elbows on it while sitting, and the cold wall remains isolated and there is no contact with it. These properties are also typical for models with a solid headboard. But, as practice shows, furniture with such a back is much less comfortable.
Let us list the main advantages and disadvantages characteristic of such structures in order to understand how well-informed their purchase is. Such furniture is made from reliable materials (natural wood, MDF) and has the following advantages:
- high comfort while sleeping, reading books in a sitting position;

And the disadvantages of a bed with a soft headboard in the bedroom are:
- decent sizes - for a small bedroom such furniture can be unnecessarily bulky;

- the need for regular care.
Loft
The gray palette is ideal for urban style. Loft interiors are simple and unpretentious, but striking in their practicality and relevance.
They are characterized by unplastered surfaces, concrete, brickwork and old wood. They recreate an industrial gray atmosphere with an abundance of communications, pipes, beams and other elements.
Such a room rarely uses bright elements; it is characterized by an abundance of light and free space. Antique items, trendy items are selected for her, and old things are found.
Varieties
A bed with a soft, comfortable headboard can be used as a central design accent for the entire bedroom interior, if you choose the furniture consciously. Modern manufacturers offer several types of such products from different materials (solid wood, MDF, and so on).
