There is one word that designers either love or hate: function. Personally, I love it. I really believe you can have the right balance of both style and function. <br />The one thing you need to do when embarking on a design project is to be realistic. Think about this question: How does your house have to work for you and your family? If you're like me with a young, busy family full of kids and pets, you should never have anything white in your house unless you're sure the material is stain resistant.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKeySOa9Y8UryvHYvSjQ7HZf06_TPkcdmASo0sj0_YTaE5LhHCiV7dUlp5VnnOhUBOiDA6Zrb441PWDpEDb1K9PBzX-8-1UfQwPgrkSPkvkTeTViDxu0yQfDOZp_EkOL4F4jm1EvrJ/s640/p_100675738.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />However, you can find the right mix of function and style. Just make sure you think your design decisions through carefully. If you're a large family that spends all your time doing homework in the kitchen and family room, then a large kitchen island or an open-concept kitchen and family room will probably work really well for you. If you're a retired couple who loves to cook and entertain, your priority might be gorgeous kitchen appliances, so you splurge on a chef's dreamy (and stylish) gas range.<br />It's important to know what makes the most sense for your lifestyle and home, so don't choose colors, fabrics or even materials that won't work for your family, children or pets. Be realistic about what you can and can't live with because there are some things you might love the look of, that are very stylish, but just aren't practical with a Great Dane. For example, I absolutely love the look of white Carrara marble countertops, but they can be stressful in a kitchen because they stain so easily, especially by red wine or coffee. You don't want to always be on high alert for spills, or be the crazy lady saying, "Don't touch the counters!"<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1AegBruI9qSWjLc4NBF7AM5U_Y2KIbOhbeQQLCywL8ogTbXX680VuknA0Hf2TPMp8x_tXGdNoyWBSUCr645eDIiF8SqxjjD_LDkz2HDuY3TrlurI3nezyHCIw0x6832pgbkULlwVn/s640/green-living-room-ideas-2011-11.gif" width="480" /></div><br />That's not to say if you have a busy lifestyle with kids and pets, you can't have a gorgeous, stylish home. Companies have caught on and now function can be stylish, too. For instance, there are great-looking, durable fabrics that are made to handle extreme wear and tear. Some are even made with Teflon. Sometimes you might pay a little more for a high-performance material that looks great and can stand the test of time. Be smart about it, and if you get a light color sofa (or you had one before the kids came along), consider having a slipcover made that's in a dark, machine-washable fabric.<br />If you have a hectic home life with lots of activity, think about your choices and always go with the most durable materials you can find. Or tell you kids to stay in their rooms until they're old enough to go to college.

The dark finish on the light fixtures adds weight to the room and helps unify the dark legs of the chair and the cabinet hardware. Their position above the vanity also provides task lighting for makeup application and grooming.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLN0RhwCR_MqUy33dIDWdKc9qG93fjqgbvmQaDPjtTVik_jRNR7tZgXcVKGsyKUXRH7C3UgylEf_MNzFEYbwTvOagO_s5aIGndnt5gJaC34vsJnTyrFViS0k8ak1d1T_WtAEiQa7CXzLnP/s1600/2014-Stylish-Bathroom-Lighting-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Work of Art : </b>The organic shape of this blown glass light fixture works well in the contemporary style bathroom. Modern spaces can feel cold and be full of hard edges, but the round globes on the light fixture and the hand-shape towel hooks in this bathroom add a touch of playfulness.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJDUo9pxDJOlbM2udca6QHskTKFGKaBbYRSJ0yEtIj6uRdKd6EdTyRAfC2sAE_TIE-tUGjiVU0lzScBw-l6uGVE0wg80ATY13gKALTenT9G5HghrnfkOmQm2cxzmfG37WECN1lTFrnfkDY/s1600/2014-Stylish-Bathroom-Lighting-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Candlestick Sconces : </b>Candlestick wall sconces, ornate details, and custom-glazed cabinets are a nod to country French style. Keep in mind that decorative fixtures add flair, but you'll want to ensure that you have another source of light, such as an overhead fixture or recessed lighting, to provide ample illumination for applying makeup and grooming.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxAQCel2hqWCxAm_HFcmsUuKLtSucYRQ3ZQ1AUcxfBWl5NhoSgx8kO9fjwZ6GWdwNoRUzlsbjVsPP8Tb5pU0xO0sDZz5v6-B7RRlNIGYiv4PLlxh26v5-p2Nw6uAC4WURp9RyfgOFCpr1h/s1600/2014-Stylish-Bathroom-Lighting-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Light Tubes : </b>Streamlined tube lights enhance this sleek bath vanity while providing soft light.

DIY Easy Headboards 2014 Stylish Ideas

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">by Watson Hawkins </span></b><br /><b><br /></b>This is hard to believe now, but for too many years, the only headboard project we featured on DIYNetwork.com was made from chain-link. It’s still here, with a cult following, even rumored to have been tweeted by an edgy celebrity highlighting, ahem, alternative styling rather than the original design, which was for a boy’s room.<br />Recent years have seen a sea change in headboard projects, videos, styles and options. And with the upcoming holidays bringing bedrooms and guest rooms into focus, why not take the opportunity to build the headboard you’ve been wanting (or at least steal the look)?<br /><br />If price is your main concern, but you still want projects that are fun to put together with original styles, then look no further than below, where tree branches, reclaimed wood and even T-shirts can be converted into conversation pieces  explaining why this headboard gallery is also our most popular.<br /><br />Reclaimed and reused objects are perfect mediums for headboards, where screens, signs and shutters  among other items  can transform into headboards simply by mounting them on the wall.<br /><br />Practical and chic, there are a number of ideas for headboards that bring a sophisticated feel to a room with materials like fabric, bookshelves and framed artwork.<br />Bold style statements can be made through rustic painted wood (our most popular headboard how-to), nails and canvas board or bright paint with decals. You can even make a slipcover for an existing headboard, and of course all these headboard projects are easy on your budget. <br /><br />You'll love these ideas to try in 2014! I hope you find these ideas useful and inspiring to you .... Enjoy it !!!!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsaYKHMOApG1tEIfPNexJewij5ttHNKR3Cio2h_6iQMLGfe-0IozXefvUKgs0q0Ot6f_ayOTxcARsjtJtceOK3PXssJ4CNQuEIdt0f0MnZzCCFldrbhByvbGaff4ed-HQIz2U_BOEwDLCR/s1600/DIY-Easy-Headboards-2014-Stylish-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Try taking a large sample back to your house to see how it fits your space, instead of relying on a small piece. Then double check the exact slab you're buying to guarantee you like the look before you make the purchase.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIvXUOL_cU33lEyMcH7-Tf-6tERL6NvnMypAiFzMbQPWVjLkUOXF3lAyaxCu1n863EP05XDlUpuQyb8PDhTpjxEZTa6Do4eanoHP66R9AuABG-yhbNpmIkpjeeE-oStDEZTLcPdyvLQ4wt/s1600/2014-Beautiful-Stone-Kitchen-Countertop-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Simple and Subtle Style : </b>Quartz surfacing makes an ideal countertop for this modern kitchen.

European pillows, which are oversize and square compared with standard pillows, emphasize the height of the headboard.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlO6YdzCdIM3MXPSKYGInnd0ZEsNKl2HmEo5YwgdO-cA1ul_DTp90bGT6O4hwu1PDVXEkraj7vfUYKIbL8E8ILac3yfcfH97yDcWR-YGSx1TmX99RV5w9YJ-rYcgFU6sZf00SE0itT/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-15.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Big Personality</span> </b></span></div><br />Add style to a plain wall with an extra-high patterned upholstered headboard. The blue and green flowers on this print are the perfect complement for the whimsical bedroom and make a statement on the light blue walls.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKJqiUIUwbJxX30-6cYIJYXeWPbJBXhkCVyVe4cOy0nnxtAOnWraIT4NxsVbqciwd2i-v6ZlzM5LEa9KiPMUFZ8Qvv1nb78VGlKsesr-J89FAK8U-FPU4Dqcd42EDGnpGs9ZYApUW_/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-17.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Back in Black</span></b></span></div><br />Go bold with a chic black headboard. Wide bands of color are repeated motifs in this room on both the drapes and the black upholstered headboard, drawing the eyes upward and raising the visual height of the ceiling. A big round mirror in a chunky frame can add sparkle and a sense of expanded space to a small room.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGpW4bzfTUxAGrNKqKaonAJ1dP9mkuYIsgqkk5GIu8phmKhBNjtSWM0NQGQmfpbFfWtAHsBlsMcGDLAqaH6RnCe2fSYje0D5VTUVcXzfQxzgws567YfKT0jl0TCibu8cNV88OCzGNv/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Reflecting Glamour</span></b></span></div><br />A crisp white linen-covered headboard, generously tufted with dozens of fabric-covered buttons, lends subtle texture to a streamlined bedroom. Its rounded corners soften the linear geometry of the wall treatment, pinstriped linens, mod Lucite lamp, and mirrored side table.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUcnEGfwbdjmXJe4_TkyubWoB0IBecIxu566AusBOX0rJuVBA92ZWrGdt0hFGmnWHZXf8ASfxbc_b09NsqMLJUV7CR3xWD2UrgJrHmjEDyWlFRhmkxyNTv2MjIbl-zWCRuL6QJJJlB/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">An Updated Classic</span></b></span></div><br />A classic four-poster gets fresh and modern thanks to a wrapped-headboard treatment that maintains the simple lines of the original piece. The fabric, a cotton-linen print featuring parrot tulips, injects color and life into the softly whitewashed space, providing the room with a vibrant focal point.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdXFi1zvkSZSpxGi0GQglv3PPZnvudsjCaJ08qbcQU3YpHxQ8cv_CPOGWdhymhtG2DvS8jBAW9IE6_3my6BgTzo1SICAU12DwUCkVLBq3_k_VCbYrWEzvjdQsd97UMvmBiAwReVd1e/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-13.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Sweet & Simple</span></b></span></div><br />Too many patterns in a small space can feel claustrophobic. Here, a pretty purple geometric fabric draped over the headboard is all the design needed to create a bright and happy vibe. For a quick change, switch the fabric for a new one and get instant results.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiPJvpJXbLk_cHvD3wjxd0dJ8-D3yuC_9hHNbxgzWOijAkbu667RZMs7ODDd8-GXQiZWgl2-JmYaRdWj13kS_WhKzsRWeWGfkLzDkffD21_GH5NnvnKwjY3iUFHeEqOF_WjcRg8wSf/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Block Party</span> </b></span></div><br />Unbleached linen partners with richly stained walnut planks for an elemental, almost Zen-like headboard. The expansive unit is actually two pieces: a wall treatment with three pop-out fabric squares and a king-size headboard whose slipcover can be easily removed and laundered.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPwvx6L7hYhH1cbyAG3xFQ8ESaG9WZc45t2Ma68T4Tz_BKew76JPeu_xRknAkWPbz4Gr_1PKmq8DkcMijEXk8QN01AMkmHUbJ7rZPHQd_UkA0dtFHaqrRLNDZlMHgcmlg9PSinpqL3/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Striped Headboard</span></b></span></div><br />In this airy loft bedroom, a headboard covered in lime green and ivory striped fabric fills the wall with a graphic, beachy appeal -- perfect for the gridded floral duvet and red pillows with green pinstripes below.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy-6KFipw_BWoEviU3SgQYJJJLISrNScDY4LQy2jDgGSeIrdIh5Dmy6HoMncBeAunOHsIzGMLR-v2OSssfysVpNuYahMbnJvavuk0eUxTMYh_QcUeBwAlwpujRMR_XgXQreLvYMh2D/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Natty Neutrals</span> </b></span></div><br />Layers of touchable texture mix and mingle around a basic natural-linen headboard. The vintage hooked wool rug framed and hung above the bed inspired the collection of pillows, including quilted silk, tufted cotton, and crewelwork pieces.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizD9SXxKXPw8Y4liVIxrrQ1Yk09pCeCgfYQsNwvBZictFfH26EATHgLkbKEC_u1jAG786IZ6iffquZRwQJ-awpDlVMsKU17uCDekdw1EE9slvcVmL50xdTkQSFflYK_Aw3DDMxAfFX/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Delicious Chocolate</span></b></span></div><br />Mocha tufted-silk upholstery on a wraparound painted headboard gives this sleeping space a cocoonlike feel. The simple texture of the fabric-and-wood frame contrast with the linen's woven details and the grass-cloth-covered walls.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX8W35DdIn9jm1KYKwYo4eRn8_DqfMQdWK2lGqMJ14OMC-iGtek6UlxycpfJGRdS04VWdoGJwU_JWvTA9pPMoRw8WZkIm2fQewAolzDbM_mjYvta6fccri6fmg2wxw04BvkC4aAnZK/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Dreamy Diagonals</span> </b></span></div><br />Tone-on-tone harlequin-pattern silk influenced this headboard's angular shape as well as the room's shimmery color scheme. Crisp linens and a Lucite lamp take their cues from the silver diamond shapes, while the fringed trim, custom-pleated shade, and sharkskin-wrapped side table connect with the fabric's ivory portions.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDswRXrY4vcUNdawZ5Df7Lv_ghyphenhyphenChaBLtWLWuEi9_IxZv68fmJTqYLWgpVfv03Ch_Y5mdLCXXdnqez0PZP7lJO8YqAfcl6LC0siUs4Ovswi_FSh9eOEhwhmQb9nyTfoSPNa8QXWDjv/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Fresh Floral</span> </b></span></div><br />Relying on one pretty floral for the walls, upholstered headboard, and shirred details, this bedroom feels layered yet pulled together. Spring green fabric piping and delicately embellished bed linens contrast with the print's sweetness and lively color.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6W6CVvXQskLKMCcpZ3M6CYxcNsh-BfNkc33sPcS8DX3rVc9unZ4w_DbdA6EGZ2QugupPCAVSUtv82mmeAeSplEj-HM-RmPHHYxnflaXp8vE5sz8YvNStq2ouAzo44286wxHO2kc7q/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">A Strong Theme</span> </b></span></div><br />Generous padding, ivory linen upholstery, and painted nailhead trim update an ornate rosewood bed while preserving its graceful shape and intricate details. Red-and-white toile -- vintage and brand-new pieces -- provide color and pattern.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBzrt8qLAFdMTng4uQMknWnPNYCAB6nzq-ZpCbYCrd1HHp1l1bWujspDMeAYJEVQ4pOiJxcrVB96eafTmg9byB8nzJZr7sEECHrxcnbpu1HrJRsfZKx3S11U_dcfM1P2qDg50eW7po/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Simple Storage</span></b></span></div><br />The shape and dimensions of the cabinet doors flanking this contemporary room divider/headboard unit inspired its grid of six upholstered rectangles. Clad in creamy Italian leather, the rectangles add natural color and warmth to the sleek silver bedding and white lacquer cabinetry, keeping the modern aesthetic approachable.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMtl5zR6F0atwE3rq_Z5vfkeviVifvyzazN4biGAbOLgfk5pNTtrKdmikaVDCEbrucqrixHMQ1gJ6-Ko0niju17la6y8ybHGac5WwyNsCeKMZYODdChp9S4Xe0t6gsNHeZN40Dv4SZ/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Luxurious Pattern</span></b></span></div><br />Curvy in all the right places, this custom headboard takes its design cues from the undulating shape of the bedside chest of drawers. Piping detail gives the piece the look of a tailored mat and frame, while a simple bed skirt in the same yellow-and-silver damask extends the refined yet contemporary look to the floor.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcAc0mbwvsRJCQN4OuqL4t79tNbFaXx-7xmodQiGTqB0Tc6rAQ_vQIUCS8GaXGmde9yYHO1OZ_PTKVFDm4u0VkmEN6fEbJ4E19hHUko9A1wnqZ_95kIeiI4WXv0cwEmvsF7o84LMMx/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Opposites Attract</span></b></span></div><br />Add drama to a bedroom with opposites. Here, a simple monochromatic color scheme for the bedding stands out against the bright blue patterned walls, creating a rich contrast. The white-and-brown upholstered headboard takes center stage in this bedroom. Solids and patterns coexist to create a formal yet fun design.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqWelFChDKbLr8__eSEqvc77zPrdIPjlADJABpBc4fIWinbGAHB7tXwdq-ScNkbJzIdC6UdG5SuKS0k5S4ITpTSsqVvaz8RQmI47RPQ8Dx3buhhFhgEJTTbJXHoKsAZfL9kPtYw23y/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-14.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Cool Contrast</span></b></span></div><br />Blend rounded lines with straight edges. The circular pattern on the headboard and bed skirt creates a striking effect with the rigid lines of the square headboard. The result is an eye-appealing balance that makes a big impact in this room.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHPQTKM8KpjangR8BItCfZMk8reLFeWGXmVlsdmCYTX1N2t0PSaEv8EjbOm0uYV8KVL3w5MF3_aBrPZEgVC6aGn8Qb7yznBQG-mlRoW1hjcFCureHE2pZN43NrhGCBlIeLoA53Yc90/s640/Stylish-Upholstered-Headboards-decorating-ideas-2012-16.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Simple Accessory</span></b></span></div><br />Drape a bold-color fabric across a simple white headboard for an eye-catching effect. Here, the burgundy fabric on the headboard ties together the burgundy in the throw pillow and books. An antique mantel aligns with the windows to visually expand the space and provide storage on high.
