So my mom decided a while ago that she wants a new headboard. She had an antique four poster bed that we picked up for a great price at an antique shop… but she just didn’t love it. So she got rid of it and now she’s thinking to go the DIY route! Which is awesome because, yay new projects! The only question left? What headboard shape is best!
She’s still not sure what shape she wants… so of course I took to Pinterest! Let’s take a look, shall we?
Option A has all the beauty of a tufted headboard with the structure of a wooden piece… and let’s face it anything with tufts is awesome in my book!

I love the nail-head trim on Option B… it adds a subtle touch of bling and class! Now mom’s not all about the bling but she’s pretty classy… and nail-head is a pretty traditional way to spruce up a piece. Plus it adds a touch of femininity!
Look at those sexy lines on Option C… sleek and modern! Mom wants a classic shape but nothing too fancy so maybe something large and dramatic will fit the bill?
What about tall and dramatic? Mom has tall ceilings and a headboard with plenty of height would be fantastic in her bedroom! Option D definitely gives lots of height!
So what do y’all think? What is the best option? Let’s take a poll and then we’ll see what mom says… she might even show up in the comments! She does that sometimes 😉

I have a traditional headboard and after seeing all of these, I feel so boring LOL. I Love all of those funky designs.
Haha! I love traditional headboards too! There’s no wrong answer… except maybe a mattress on the floor. I never liked that! Thanks for stopping by Robin!
I love D. Actually I want to do a headboard much like that for my bedroom. 🙂
I think she really likes D… she loves the simple look! It looks easy enough to make… good luck Leaslie!
My grandmother had one like option A, but in green. So beautiful!
I loved option A! It’s a great mix of traditional and tufted! Maybe we can find one that’s a bit taller for extra drama! Haha!
Definitely option A! It would be cool if you could somehow combine the nail heads with the tufted look.
I definitely agree Tiffany! I love it when tufted and nailheads are combined! The bench my hubby and I have our eye on for our bedroom is tufted with silver nailheads!
I think my favorite is the tall headboard. I like how dramatic it is and makes the bed more of a focal point in the room.
I agree… she definitely needs a focal point! She’s trying to decide if she wants a tall headboard or a short one with a wall grouping over the middle. I suppose that will help with the decision!
What great ideas! I love headboards. I’ve seen a lot of ideas on pinterest. People have made them out of wood pallets too.
I totally agree Heather! I love the wooden pallet headboards… especially the one with the yellow “Love” scrawled across the front! I love that one!
We are currently headboard-less and I’d love to build one, but I can’t decide what! I’d take any of these! They are beautiful choices.
Pick the one that goes with your room the best! I bet any would look lovely! Thanks for stopping by Brooke!
I can’t decide which one I like best!
Haha! That is my main problem too Leslie! I love them all! Thanks for stopping by!
I haven’t had such a beautiful headboard before. It would be nice to have one so you can sit up in bed.
Tell me about it Beth! That is the one thing I don’t love about our current headboard… it’s cast iron so there really isn’t a back. If you prop up enough pillows you can kind of sit up but it’s not the same! Oh well… mama always said beauty is pain!
I like the last one the best!
That seems to be the general train of thought! I think people love how dramatic it is… I know I do! Thanks for stopping by (again!) I love seeing you around here!
I never really put much thought into thinking about a shape. Thanks for this lovely post about it.
I can’t stop thinking about it! I need to take a page out of your book Michelle! Thanks for stopping by!
I’m liking Option D. It looks simple but with the diamond pattern it gives it a little something.
I totally agree Cindy… the diamond tufting gives it a little something special! You’re so sweet for stopping by!
I love them all, but I would have to say that option A is my favorite.
You’re such a sweetheart Julia… I think option A is my favorite as well! I can’t wait to see which one Mom is going to pick!
I personally like option A & D best! A is more traditional, D is more modern – at least in my books 🙂
D is definitely modern… no doubt about that! I didn’t think about A being traditional but I can totally see that! Thanks for the input Kat… you’ve definitely given me something to think about!
such a lovely post! I read your blog all the time and you truly have such a great sense of style decor wise! thanks again for another awesome post 🙂 x, kenz

Kenzie, you completely just made my day! I love seeing your name around here and it’s so nice to hear that you love my style! Thanks for stopping by hon!
I like option C. I love those sexy lines. They make the bedroom more romantic. 🙂
I love a romantic bedroom… elegant and dramatic is my vote!
If she has a high ceiling, then I go for option D. I love tall and dramatic headboards.
Dramatic is definitely the best… I love how tall D is! Thanks for the vote Elizabeth… D is looking like the front runner… I wonder which one Mom is going to pick?!
A headboard can make or break a room. An amazing headboard is def. an instant focal point!
I so agree Rosey! A gorgeous headboard can be the star of a room! Thanks for stopping by!
I love option A. I’ve had the same one for years. This makes me want to change my. Which would mean updating the room. Shopping here I come!
I am seriously thinking of option A for our guest room… so it’s kind of my favorite! Thanks for stopping by Wendy!
I love option D! The grey color is totally easy to add anything else too.
I love grey… that’s why I picked it for my couch! I love the solid color… thanks for stopping by Ashley!
All of these are wonderful. I think B is my favorite though. Something about those curves and the nails.
It really is elegant! I love the lines of B… so pretty! Thanks for stopping by… you are so sweet!
I feel like I need a new headboard, but I can’t decide which type I like the most. They’re all pretty fun, I feel!
That’s the hardest part… picking what type you like! Pick the one you like the most… if you don’t like it down the road that just means you get to pick another one! Haha! Thanks for stopping by Liz!
Love them all! But personally B and D are my faves. Can’t go wrong with these choices, though 🙂
Thanks for the input Georgia! I agree… all the choices are great!
I love a!
Stay fabulous x,
