What We Like: Sturdy construction
Perfect For: Minimalistic bedroom decor

Designer Advice:
To complement the minimalistic feel of this headboard, consider keeping your bedding simple and neutral. Crisp white, beige, or navy linens will create a cohesive look without competing with the headboard’s weathered white finish. Add a few decorative pillows with subtle textures or foliage patterns for an extra touch.

Designer Advice:
Given its natural finish and minimalist aesthetic, this headboard with side storage adds a subtle touch of earthiness that’s ideal for most decor schemes, including contemporary, coastal, Bohemian, and modern urban.

The honey color is an ideal choice for rustic and loft-style bedrooms whereas the off-white option is perfect for minimalist and contemporary spaces.
