Did you make your bed today? Do you have a headboard? Then your bed isn't really made. A headboard is the finishing touch on any bed, and there are numerous ways to go that can increase your style profile or introduce a whole new look to your space.

Go Upholstered

For that plush, pulled-together look, you can't go wrong with an upholstered headboard. Let your bed wall dictate the shape, and, when you're choosing your textile, keep this in mind: "Luxury is back in a big way," said designer Mark Cutler on Realtor.com. "Think: fabrics such as mohair, velvet, cashmere, and faux fur, and color palettes of rich, saturated jewel tones."

Upholstered headboards are relatively easy to DIY, which also allows you to choose your fabric instead of relying on pre-made options. But we have to say in love with this patterned headboard from Opalhouse at Target that certainly creates a statement.

Size matters

You always want to scale your furniture to the size of the room to create the best balance, but don't be afraid to make a bold statement by concentrating on a larger size headboard. An oversized headboard allows your bed to be the true star of the room. "On a modern bed, the headboard is not so much a part of the bed's construction as a statement that introduces the bed to the world," said Apartment Therapy. "It anchors the bed in the room, gives it prominence, makes it a comforting feature. So it is, perhaps, unsurprising that there's a recent trend towards making headboards bigger and bigger."

Going deep

When it comes to color, go deep and rich to create a sumptuous space. "To set the scene, think less Duck Egg and more Emerald Green, and you'll nail the bedroom color palette," said Ideal Home. "Our color choices are becoming bolder in our homes - first came living rooms, followed by kitchens and now it's bedrooms. For bedrooms, these braver color choices feature on both walls and bedding. Brooding violet, night-sky navy and striking emerald green are all key colors."

Rustic charm

The rustic look is certainly in style, and you can incorporate it into a space in a way that doesn't make you feel like you're living in a barn. "Take the rustic warmth of a log cabin and add it to a bedroom with contemporary furniture," said The Spruce. "The result is a bedroom style that is warm and peaceful, but not overly sentimental or fussy. If that appeals to you, distressed wood paneling in a room with otherwise contemporary furniture is right on trend. This is not the dark paneling of a 1970s basement. This is plank paneling - wide boards that look like they came straight from an old barn. It's perfect for a focal wall in a rustic or modern farmhouse room. And, if that's too much primitive wood for you, try a plank headboard instead."

A little something different

There's rustic, and then there's RUSTIC. If you really want to go there, "Look no further than this DIY headboard," said House Beautiful. "The unique viewpoint and use of the wood adds texture to the room, while the dark colors pop against the white wall."

Temporary solutions

There are multiple options for temporary headboards for those who are staging a room or who simply change their minds a lot. This looks like wood, but it's actually a decal made from wallpaper, and it's removable and repositional. It's also available in a tufted look and a cool floral pattern.
