Buying Guide

Whether you’re remodeling your bedroom or simply looking for a way to enhance the room’s aesthetics, choosing a headboard can be confusing. Getting the wrong one will ruin the room’s overall look or the one you’re trying to achieve. The headboard may not fit within your space’s confines as well.

Conversely, picking out the right headboard will significantly improve your room’s look as well as functionality. Consider getting a wicker headboard as it won't just recreate the serenity and feel of the tropics within your room, but it will also make the buying process a lot simpler. Here are more tips that will ensure you choose the right piece for the most private space within your house, your bedroom:

What types of wicker are there?

Wicker can be natural or synthetic. Here's a comprehensive list of the things you need to know about each type:

Natural Wicker - Natural wicker makes use of plant-based materials like bamboo, willow, rattan, and reed. Natural wicker is resistant to abuses and it's lightweight as it's made of plant fibers. It's not just durable; it also sports a look that can easily blend with any interior decor. The only downside to headboards made of natural wicker is they must not be added in bedrooms with high humidity as moisture and water decreases their lifespan.
Synthetic Resin Wicker - Synthetic resin wicker headboards are made of different types of resins from cheap plastic to HDPE. A headboard made of synthetic materials is more durable to one that’s plant-based. You'd be glad to know that it also is less expensive compared to natural wicker!

How to select the right size wicker headboard?

The size of your headboard must match your bed’s size in order to achieve a pleasing look. For instance, if you have a king-sized bed, it’s best if you opt for a headboard that’s king-sized or bigger. For a smaller bed, you’ll be able to get away with something small as well.

Remember to factor in proportion when you’re making a choice. A wider bed will require a taller headboard in order to look right. This also means that if your room is massive, you would need a larger headboard. On the other hand, a room that’s tight on space will only look cluttered and appear much smaller with a huge headboard so the basic or standard headboard makes more sense.

How to style with wicker headboards?

The right wicker headboard is an incredible way of adding interest to a room. So, choose one with intricate patterns and curvy shapes if you want an accent for the space. Make sure that the decorative details complement or match the bedroom’s overall style.

You can opt for a dark colored headboard is you’re after a way of sparking interest and depth to your room. It's great in making the headboard the room’s focal point. If you opt for a light-colored wicker headboard, it is great if you require one that has a subdued look. It will also tie into a room’s minimalistic feel.

Recognize the style of the room before you choose your new headboard so you can create a bedroom with a cohesive look. Remember: your headboard must complement your bedroom’s style instead of competing with it.
