From modern to traditional, an upholstered headboard is a crowning finish in these bedrooms.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4TLw9AhcXBJHtL2o8Ll1DtBItM_ociDAGwaORD7rNKvO1NHBcfkaZ315CZkHfXDXV01X8EnnzHydGQjwmBrxm51b-G6DEEWskxJLnwZe6uVrBU_NjTO4AxjFsIEVgWoJggOJkkZZy/s640/Headboards-decorating-2012-ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Delicious Chocolate</span></b></div><br />Mocha tufted-silk upholstery on a wraparound headboard envelopes this bed with luxury and comfort. The simple textures of the fabric-and-wood frame contrast 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/AVvXsEh2d53ViqU0Lscv9XJCWgwqs2hkwyKh_iYjJ7GgIY5FpLGO3-LKa1UsOfnMow5aVqKJF2FwwnvgMMTWkvncYrurBuelLDyqzWcAcKGScx9E9X4HDjr6HTdtmIlGtQBdWDxS3ZAUdk16/s640/Headboards-decorating-2012-ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Pump Up the Volume</b></span></div><br />An extra-high headboard and luxurious folds of fabric create a sense of grandeur that makes this feel bigger bedroom. The oversize-square European-style 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/AVvXsEjGFnsKNrCDcyHRo04vv0qAWRJVWfgL0zGNt2TIYTyAZVOF7sKg-MPXJ66-Yrtpd7lVykrQfEYSp0edL-z7J5zVbXY606nZxyYyvlIXtq2UHmjInREfjgRnSY-Vg8lehWGxjAmuOJMX/s640/Headboards-decorating-2012-ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Perfectly Patterned</b></span></div><br />In a room filled with gorgeous patterns and colors, a simple headboard can be just as much of a standout as an ornamented one. This subdued creamy-white headboard is trimmed in oversize nailhead for a distinctive finish .<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVA8hbddtcdgShOBFEtfk-EXIcYRBth5zTn7N_iC0_naewd7dvm5d6xRLoXgn_B2qEWIMTNLDIINWveNH-rnLNcFQbCsTQBAu7uLE2bg7qKKh0hcCEkRlP7fr-lfVvvQWAIc4zs8y0/s640/Headboards-decorating-2012-ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Scale Matters</b></span></div><br />Scale and rhythm are key principles to successful pattern-mixing. In a space filled with pretty florals, an oversize-gingham fabric on the upholstered headboard and drapes offers a welcome contrast. The orderly pattern of green-and-white checks introduces a steady rhythm to the free-flowing florals on the walls and bedding. A larger-scale gingham pattern ensures that the fabric isn't lost among the room's elements the way a smaller pattern could have been.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhugJKGAEixyZlZijJn3RWQ-g373_IhDWvIMPBY5HcAilovymOmHQYDbqfuYFWApvP-N7IQuhlQmrK3doIvZ-f0sCBuxMiFVOjp6XEMo16AGohhiUFhhjD5gkZC0ywIrp2fH8QTKGK/s640/Headboards-decorating-2012-ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Textural Neutrals</b></span></div><br />Layers of touchable textures 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 that features quilted silk, tufted cotton, and crewelwork.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Vew3C0Ipwf3SEN8ix7PcVDL0jKvQSx9sfEN5F3QTkQBG8YT0h-q8lAXDvf90KB8C0rBI_AlpK2xxRQwx7pgo-WewARC5ROZc42ytG-rg7bySqYv44paA6dhuf-x-US3rUN-tIbDc/s640/Headboards-decorating-2012-ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Cool Contrast</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 rectangular 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/AVvXsEhrIY2xGYLxWVsntFfbE5d56VrNW0Ne4C9utJJf92j7kUSFoE1FyRA3NhpmmOHhunO3fRpFxlKpzvETrxawwKRFrf-iLQ3uJJnBayrNUDb9WJ724sovaWlA4WFbkvyxLwWmbhzoHm17/s640/Headboards-decorating-2012-ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Big Personality</b></span></div><br />Add style to a plain wall with an extra-high patterned upholstered headboard.

Wrap each with low-wattage, UL-approved white holiday lights that don't generate heat. Drape beautiful ribbons over the rings to create the foliage streamers, which cover the structure but allow the glow from the lights to shine through. </li></ul><br /><ul sizcache="37" sizset="313" type="disc"><li>For just a whisper of the holidays in your home, purchase several cherry blossom branches from a florist. The flowers give the impression of tufts of snow along the branches, and when placed in a very large glass container, the bouquet can be high enough to allow plenty of room for stacks of beautifully wrapped Christmas packages underneath. </li></ul><br /><ul sizcache="37" sizset="314" type="disc"><li>Use carefully wrapped surprises as part of your holiday decor. One of the best ways to do this is to use paper in colors that either stand out or blend in with the existing decor of your home. A collection of pink and silver packages is certainly eye catching. If the packages look too good to unwrap, use empty boxes and display your creations again next year. </li></ul><br /><ul sizcache="37" sizset="315" type="disc"><li>Turn a white Christmas tree into a snowman (or an elf, Santa and even a reindeer) using felt and fabric for his eyes and nose, top hat and a scarf to keep him warm. </li></ul></div>
