Reclaimed wood
Using reclaimed wood provides the flexibility to design the size and style of the headboard to your taste and requirements.
Elaine added: “Staining with wood oil helps to bring out its quality and texture while also adding a protective finish.
“The wood can be positioned vertically or horizontally and staining planks with different colours will introduce a further dimension.”
Abstract artwork
If you don’t fancy having the traditional solid headboard behind your head at night, why not add some art on the wall where your headboard would be?
Elaine said: “Abstract artwork is a great substitute for a conventional headboard and can create a bold focal point for the room.
“The colours of the cushions and throws should complement the artwork to create a consistent style throughout the bed.”
