Innovating in colors, lighting and some items of furniture can transform an environment. Currently, those who choose to redecorate the room bet on the  box bed , since, in addition to being more modern, this model takes up less space and still has other advantages.

 One of these benefits is not having a custom made upholstered headboards. Such quality allows the choice of any type of piece to enhance the decoration of the room. However, as there is a great diversity of parts on the market, choosing the ideal model can become a difficult task.

 What is the head of the bed for?

 The traditional bed is usually made of steel or wood, it already has feet, a headboard, and the structure accommodates the mattress inside. Therefore, it needs to be larger than the mattress, which makes it occupy a larger area of ​​the room.

 The modern box bed, on the contrary, is an option that saves space, since its structure has the same dimensions as the mattress. In addition, this model does not have a headboard, allowing the choice to be personalized and in accordance with the decor of the environment.

 Since box sets have  conquered the market, some people believe that there is no need to purchase a headboard. However, it is fundamental not only for the decorative aspect, but also for its functions.

 The headboard protects the wall from stains and scratches and serves as a support when reading, for example. In some cases they can even be used as organizers, since some models have drawers or shelves.

 Therefore, it is an interesting piece for people who have little space in the room and need to enjoy every corner.

 Does the mattress influence the choice of the headboard?

 Undoubtedly, size influences the decision on the headboard. In the box bed the  mattress  has the same dimension as the structure. To choose correctly, it is essential to measure the width of the bed and choose a headboard that is, at least, its exact size.

 It is also feasible to buy a model that is the same length as the bed box to create a loose alignment.

 What types are available?

 In addition to the distinctive look, the headboards appear in several versions, which vary in functionality and even the space occupied. To make the best purchase it is interesting to know the main models and understand what their differentials are.

 Pending

 Considered a “fitting” piece, the pendant headboard has a hollow area, where the box set is positioned.

 It gets its name because it is fixed on the wall and has the space for positioning the bed. It is ideal to save area and ensure a good finish, but it must be the right size.

 Padded

 As the name already reveals, this model has a padded appearance  . The piece is upholstered and very soft. It also has different details, such as “buttons” symmetrically attached in the matelasse style or with geometric shapes. It is a classic option and gives a refined touch to the environment.

 Rounded

 There are still options with a sinuous proposal, as opposed to traditional straight lines. This is the case of the headboard with rounded corners and those that curve at the top.

 These models work in rooms with vintage or fun decor. However, it is necessary to check if it is able to touch the wall.

 With embedded parts

 Depending on the space available in the room, there is a version with built-in items. It is the case of a headboard that has a lamp already in its structure or that has a nightstand in the same style.

 As this model varies according to the needs of each one, it is usually only available in customized versions.

 How to choose the best headboard for my room?

 After deciding to purchase a headboard, you need to know how to choose between the various alternatives. As there is no shortage of options, it is best to pay attention to certain aspects. Check out what they are, below!

 Set a budget

 There are several types of headboards  and each one has its price, quality and style. It is for this reason that, initially, it is necessary to define how much will be spent on the budget for this item. The interesting thing is that in addition to being able to order one according to what you want, it is possible to create models with reused or easily accessible materials.

 Thus, those who wish to save money can leave their imagination free and manufacture their own headboard. There are even several tutorials on the internet, called “DIY” ( Do It Yourself ) . These indications can serve as inspiration and even as guides.

 Pay attention to the dimensions

 As stated, the headboard must be larger or exactly the size of the box in length. In order not to make a mistake, it is essential to know that the standard box bed sizes are:

 Single (0.88 × 1.88m); couple (1.38 × 1.88m); queen (1.58 × 1.98m); king (1.93 × 2.03m).

 There is no standard height for the headboard, but it is important that the occupants of the room also think about its usefulness. So, if you like to read before bed, use your notebook in bed or sit back to watch a movie, it is interesting that the headboard is high for greater comfort - in this case, the recommended height is 90 to 110 cm.

 Those who want a more modern decoration can opt for horizontal models. Those looking for a classic style should choose higher options.

 If the room is small, it is recommended that the headboard is not too high so as not to create the sensation of flatness. In addition, it is possible to select models that occupy the entire length of the wall, which gives the visual illusion of enlargement.

 The trick to hit the headboard for rooms with low ceilings is to choose a high one, which occupies the entire height of the wall. The middle room (or proportional in width and length) has the ideal model as an intermediary, occupying all the space around the bed.

 Think about the functionality of the headboard

 One of the important topics when  buying the headboard  for the bedroom is its functionality. This is because those who have a small space to accommodate all the furniture need to think about items that, besides being beautiful, are practical and have multiple uses.

 In this case, it is possible to opt for a headboard that has shelves or drawers, for example. Thus, in addition to being a decorative and comfortable object   for the bedroom, it can guarantee extra space for storage, which is essential in small rooms.

 However, sometimes it can hinder circulation, causing the room's dynamics to be impaired. In that case it is advisable to apply a wallpaper, paint the place above the bed or even put stickers that create the headboard feeling, without the need to take up space.

 Combine the item with the rest of the decoration

 The bedroom is a resting place and, therefore, it must be a warm and pleasant environment. Although it is possible to mix several styles, this practice can leave the vision saturated and the decoration tiring. For this reason, our tip is to coordinate the idea of ​​the headboard with the rest of the room.

 After all, in addition to being important for the functions it performs, this is a striking item in the decoration. So, if the room is set up with rustic furniture, for example, it is interesting to opt for a wooden headboard with aged tones. The romantic rooms combine with an upholstered option in   neutral colors.
