How to style your bedroom with a bedhead
Styling your bedroom with a bedhead is a great way to add personality and style to your sleeping space. At Home Style Co, we love to include bedheads to create a statement and add pops of colour. We share 4 tips to help you choose a bedhead for your own space to create a beautifully styled bedroom just like the professionals!
Choose the Correct Size.
A very straight forward, yet important point is your bedhead should be proportionate to the size of your bed.
A king-sized bedhead will look overwhelming on a queen, while a small bedhead will look out of place on a larger bed.
Select the right material.
Bedheads can come in a variety of materials, wood and fabric being the most popular. Choose a material that complements the rest of your bedroom decor and fits with the overall style you are going for.
Say you are going for a coastal look, a light timber or rattan bedhead would pair perfectly to create a relaxed and beachy feel to your bedroom.
If a more formal aesthetic is your style, a fabric or suede bedhead could be just what is needed to lift the space.
Pick a complementary colour.
Bedheads come in a variety of colours from bright and bold to neutral and subtle.
Choosing a colour that complements your bedding and other decor items can be tricky, it all comes down how you want your bedhead to sit in the space - do you want it to be the main feature? Or to softly blend in?
A main point to remember if you like your bedhead to be the colour feature; play down your cushions with complementary colours in the same warm or cool tones to continue your theme and not clash.
If your aim is to softly blend in a bedhead, a cool toned grey or an alternate warm beige will slot in to any space to safely play with colour and pattern in cushions, while also being very versatile for years to come.
Consider the shape.
Bedheads come in various shapes such as rectangular, arched, and curved. Consider the shape of your bedhead and how it will fit into the overall design of your bedroom.
Different shapes evoke different visual looks and feelings. A straight edged rectangle bedhead creates a more formal look and feel to a room. While an arched shaped bedhead creates a playful and visually interesting look.
At Home Style Co, we love to use rectangle bedheads in our stylings, as we commonly include them in master bedrooms where it’s common for formality and to create an impact.
While your bedhead will be the focal point of your bedroom, don't forget about the remainder of the space. You can use the colours and style of your bedhead to inspire the rest of your decor choices, from chairs, to curtains, to a floor rug.
Overall, there are many aspects to consider when selecting and styling a bedhead for your bedroom, it all comes down to what you wish for it to do for your space. Do not be afraid to experiment and try out different options until you find the look that's perfect for you.
