Double Bed Headboard

Another trick to give your double bed more of a profound appearance in the room is to invest in a good quality headboard. You may also want to consider finding a headboard with rounded edges to further compliment the simplified look.

Let's talk about measurements. Now, double beds can be a bit tricky, since depending on the brand, style, or manufacturer, there may be different widths and lengths. It is imperative that you measure the actual mattress and box spring before looking for a headboard. Seeing a headboard that is made for a "double bed" does not necessarily mean that it will fit YOUR double bed.

Also be sure to measure the bed frame, if you already have one. This will also need to fit within the headboard.

The general rule when measuring the height of the headboard is this: measure half way up the wall of the room where the headboard will be placed against. Your headboard should never exceed this height! Try to find a headboard that either reaches half way or down to a few inches below that point. This will prevent the headboard from "crowding" and overpowering the room.

Here comes the fun part: choosing the style of your headboard. Though most people think of a wooden-style headboard, there are an astounding number of options out there for headboards. You can look for thick fabric headboards, leather headboards, and metal headboards. These also come in an array of colors that are sure to match the decor of your room!

If you choose the classic wood headboard, you can find some well priced oak, walnut, and birch options.

A versatile choice for those seeking a headboard is the headboard book case. This is particularly great if you are a young child, live in a dorm, or want to show off your book collection. If you also find yourself living in a small establishment and need the shelf space, here's an answer to your problem!

One other thing to consider is the paneling on the double headboard. For a stark contrast, you can have a fairly plain paneling with a natural finish, or a dark finish. There are also leather paneling options that can go with several different styles. Wrought iron and metal-work headboards are great for those seeking a truly unique look for their bedroom. You can even request to have a metal headboard made just to your liking, so put your design skills to work!
