To attach an iron headboard to a bed, start by moving the bed frame to the center of the room so you can put the headboard into its ideal end position against the wall—next, line up any mounting holes in the bed frame with those on the headboard. If the bed frame doesn’t have these holes or they’re not in the right place, you can purchase a headboard bracket adapter kit from the manufacturer.
Use the included bolts to secure the mounting holes in the headboard to the bed frame’s mounting plates. Place washers over the end of the bolts so they’re positioned against the frame, and then use a nut to secure the bolt and washer in place.
Using a screwdriver and wrench, tighten the nuts and bolts, stopping once you meet resistance. Avoid over-tightening as this can place undue pressure on the mounting plates and bed frame.
The best wall decor to match an iron headboard would be decor that makes the headboard stand out. A king-size iron headboard should undoubtedly be the focal point of the bedroom, so use white paint on the walls or light colors with soft hues to make the headboard come to the forefront. In keeping with the theme, decorate your bedroom walls with white or light-colored mirrors, paintings, and wall art that blend in with the paint so that your iron headboard remains the centerpiece or focal point of the room.
If you want to go towards industrial theme, brick or concrete walls will become a relevant background for an iron headboard. Darker wall decor, for example black picture frames or metal wall art, will complement such combo in pleasing way.
Choosing night tables to match your iron headboard is an important decision as it can either make all the elements come together or make a bedroom look as if things were simply thrown together. The good news is that iron headboards king size match with a variety of different furniture and nightstand choices. They are a few options depending on the look and feel you're going for.
If you're looking to create contrast and make your iron headboard pop, then choosing modern or antique nightstands is a great idea. Alternatively, if you're going for a more cohesive look, then choose metal wood or glass nightstands in the same color as your headboard. However, the nightstands should resemble a similar style to the headboard to create a unified look.
Lastly, if you want texture in your bedroom, then a natural wicker nightstand is recommended. Feel free to paint it for a pop of color; alternatively, if you're just looking for a touch of texture, then the wicker nightstands as-is will work.
