Headboards are a great way to change the look of your bed. Poppy Talk has done a blogpost on how to make a headboard from a photo. The results are great and the process simple.

Excerpt from the post:

1. once you have chosen your image (preferably a digital one). if not, you’ll have to take your original picture and scan it to make it into digital format. if you don’t have a scanner, you can take it to a local office center such as kinko’s where they can do this for you. they can put the image on a cd so you can take it to whichever printer you decide to take it to.

2. depending on the size of your original image and what type of camera the image was taken from, will depend on how large you will be able to blow up your image to. it’s best to have this looked at where you will be having the image blown up at for them to assess. the one’s in these images are at least 5′ x 7′, so your original image would need to be of pretty high quality in the pixel department.

3. for a matte canvas, ask to look at samples before you go ahead. according to my trusty old blueprint magazine, ask for heavyweight artist’s canvas, pigment-based dyes, and an ultra-violet-protective coating.

If you’ve ever gone into an older person’s bedroom, the chances are good that you have eventually come upon a bookcase headboard. These headboards were extremely popular fifty years ago when people wanted to be able to fit as much space in their bedroom as they possibly could. Bookcase headboards are often overlooked now, as many people are looking for thinner headboards that will allow their beds to fit closer to the wall. They still, however, can be the ideal solution, especially if you’re looking for a way to pack a little more storage space in a child’s small room, or if you are someone, or know someone, who likes to pile things in places around their bedroom.

The River Valley Bookcase Headboard is a bookcase headboard that is very unique. To begin with, it has plenty of room for your child’s books, toys, magazines, or whatever else you’d like to place on it. It has three shelves that are made sturdily and are completed with a beautiful Golden Oak finish, giving you plenty of room to display your belongings. It also, however, has a sliding louvered door that gives you the ideal place to hide things. Many people put tissues in the hidden spot, or other things that they do not feel needs to see the light of day very often. You could always place your alarm clock in it so that you can avoid it entirely! This twin sized headboard is made by South Shore Furniture, the number one manufacturer of children’s bedroom sets.

Have you ever looked closely at some of the more beautiful Victorian homes that exist? What makes them so beautiful? It’s hard to tell, for everyone seems to be attracted to different things. Some are attracted to the house, others the grounds. Those who are attracted to the grounds of a Victorian house may find their eye being pulled towards the metal work in the garden and around the grounds. Many Victorian homes had a great deal of metal work strewn about, including metal statues and metal fences.

Their metal fences were a work of art themselves, with straight lines mixed with beautiful curved lines; they were copied around the world. There is a headboard that reminds many of a beautiful Victorian fence. The Kirkwell Headboard by Hillsdale Furniture is a unique metal headboard. This metal headboard features a long slope going from one strong post to the other. Both posts are topped with a unique knob design, as most Victorian fence posts are. In the middle of the headboard are vertical slats, each accentuated by a slight curve with a small curly-cue at the bottom of each curve.

This metal headboard is simple yet beautiful at the same time. It would work well in almost any bedroom, but may be the perfect headboard for a single woman, young student, or to use in a spare bedroom. And as it’s created by Hillsdale Furniture which means it is inexpensive and yet well made at the same time, a combination that is not always easy to find.

Some artists believe that art is created simply to be admired. They feel that their artwork, whether it be made from paint and canvas or forged out of steel, should be looked at and respected, but never touched. Others, however, believe that art is for the enjoyment of everyone. These artists usually believe in what is known as functional artwork, which can include a piece of furniture or any kind of object that is created to be both beautiful and usable at the same time. It is often difficult to find a true piece of functional artwork that is made to be a bed.

The Pembroke Headboard, however, is one metal bed that is unlike any other that you may have ever seen before. This functional artwork is a headboard that almost resembles a sea, with waves cascading out onto either side from the center of the bed. The metal used ranges from thin and fragile looking to extremely thick and bold. The posts are solid with rounded finials on the top, almost making it look as though a ball is balancing precariously on the top of a bat, while the castings on the grill give a touch of elegance. The entire piece is finished in a color known as River Rock, giving it an earthy feel, while the unique metal work keeps it whimsical and fun. This headboard offered by the Fashion Bed Group is one unique metal bed that can truly be titled as functional artwork.

Things with an Asian flair have become extremely popular in today’s world. There are sushi bars in every city, Asian clothing is very popular, and now furniture that has an Asian flair to it has been being snapped up as quickly as it can be produced. The bad part about this is that it is extremely expensive to get many of these Asian pieces due to their popularity and the fact that many of them are created overseas and must be shipped here, adding significantly to the price tag.

Lifestyle Solutions Furniture knows how to make high quality wooden beds with unique touches. They have mastered not only the Asian flair, but many other popular styles as well. The Rialto Platform Bed by Lifestyle Solutions Furniture is a platform bed with the unique Asian style that everyone is clamoring for. Platform beds are very popular because they require only that you have a mattress, allowing you to save money by not purchasing a bedspring while giving you more support for your back at the same time. The Rialto Platform Bed is made with heavy construction and has a solid wood frame, guaranteeing that it will last for forever. The cherry finish with dark inlay and the gentle inward slope on both the headboard and footboard give it the unique Asian look, and the bed has center support legs to ensure that it will be able to support far more than anything you will be able to put on it.

Many men have a difficult time finding a metal headboard for their bedroom that doesn’t look too plain or too feminine. The problem with metal is that it is too easily bent into a curved shape, and too many curves cause a uniquely feminine look. If you’re a single guy, the last thing you want to have is a metal bed that has a feminine look to it. Most men, however, enjoy metal and would like to have a metal bed, they just want to find one that looks as masculine as they feel.

The Ennis Headboard is a unique metal headboard that is like no other. This metal headboard is available in every possible size, from full to queen, and it is even available in the gigantic king size. The headboard curves only a slight bit, and the top of the curve is twisted so that it much resembles a thick piece of rope that has been twisted around, much like one that would be found on board a pirate ship. There are finials on top of each of the posts, but they are rounded in such a way that they do not look feminine at all, and slight arches inside of the headboard keep it from looking too boring or simple. Created by Hillsdale Furniture, this bed is available in a rubber gold and brown finish, the final touch that allows it to be titled as the best metal headboard for a gentleman’s room.
