Fabric-Covered Headboards

Elegant, dramatic, fun, and ultimately changeable, slip-covered headboards are very popular for good reason. Changing the look of a bedroom is simple and relatively inexpensive. For those reasons, and because they can be washed or dry cleaned, they are also perfect for vacation rental houses. Here are some examples of using headboards to create interesting bedrooms.

The black fabric headboard is the focal point of the room's symmetrical arrangement. The careful placement of tan, white, and black gives the small space drama.

Headboards do not have to be a focal point. This one adds textural interest to a room of neutral tones and pastel accents.
