Bamboo Headboards

Four poster headboard

Large four poster beds are always expensive when it comes to buying accessories and other items for them. However, they can look spectacular when they are kitted out, and a bamboo headboard can look perfect when matched with your four poster bed. Around 80-100 bamboo canes are positioned horizontally to create a large bamboo headboard which extends all the way to the top of the bed posts. The sturdy bamboo canes are resistant to wear and tear, so you can rest easy at night without worrying about changing your headboard.

Vertical bamboo headboard

Another popular design you will come across is the vertical bamboo style. This is created using around 50 thin bamboo canes which are fixed together and made into one large bamboo piece. You'll see this design in other varieties too, for example, there may be headboards which have fewer yet thicker bamboo canes. The number of canes will also alter depending on whether you are buying for a single bed, double bed, kingsize bed etc.

Black bamboo

If you're not a huge fan of the natural wooden bamboo look but you do like the bamboo style, there are other colors for you to consider. The most popular color aside from the brown wood style is black. This is achieved by varnishing and then painting the wooden bamboo canes with suitable black paint. The bamboo canes may be positioned within a metal or wooden frame (also painted black to match) in order to provide more support to the headboard.

Square bamboo design

When larger and thicker bamboo pieces come into play, there are other styles which you may come across. For example, double bed headboard made from bamboo may often have designs such as squares or rectangular gaps. There may be 'L-shaped' pieces too which have been fitted together in order to create other styles and shapes. Thick bamboo pieces joined together to make square or rectangular shapes may become the frame for photographs, mirrors or other accessories in your bedroom.

Diagonal bamboo pieces

We've considered the designs which are horizontal and also those which are vertical, but what about the diagonal designs? These are created by grouping several bamboo sticks together and affixing them diagonally facing the left, then another group containing the same amount of sticks facing diagonally to the right. Two different colors of bamboo sticks may be used, for example, natural wood paired with a color from your home décor. This creates a pretty diamond effect which is very modern and looks stylish and impressive in the bedroom.
