Interior Design with Julia Luttrell
Heavenly headboards
The kitchen, the bathroom, living room, family room. Every room in the house derives its name from its function, except the bedroom, which is discretely named instead for it�s most prominent piece of furniture, the bed.
Yet though the bed often dominates this space, it is the headboard that is the defining feature, which sets the stage for the rest of the rooms� d�cor.
Happily, this means that you can alter the entire effect of the room, merely by changing the headboard. So, why not play it up? Why not create a heavenly headboard that makes a spectacular statement and becomes the star of the show.
Instead of buying a mass-manufactured headboard, customizing this single element leaves you open to the creative flexibility of being able to change your mind over the years.
This ability to easily redefine a space, is a design direction that will prolong the �style� longevity of the rest of your furnishings. Without having to alter the entire room, a custom headboard can create a specific character in the room today, yet realign your look for an opposite effect tomorrow.
You can have the opulence of a fabric-draped confection, accented with curved wood detailing. However, if later you find you�d prefer the sophisticated architectural geometry of an oversize upholstered, picture-frame approach, it can be achieved with little disruption and with less cost than replacing all of your bedroom furnishings.
So the next time you�re thinking of refurbishing your bedroom, include interior design in the equation.
Call a creative designer to create this custom detail. There is a saying in design that �God is in the details�. You�ll find a heavenly headboard adds an element of individuality to your inspiration, which allows you to easily alter the details of your dream room to whatever your taste may be at any given time.
