Choosing the best headboard for your bed isn't always easy, and it can pose a real challenge if you're not sure what you want or you have never looked for a headboard before. There is something special about different styles of headboards, such as wooden and wrought iron. If you think these styles might be suitable for your home, let's take a look at the finer details of the designs that you could choose.
White regal style wood and wrought iron headboard
This style of headboard is paired with a solid wooden bed base which is either white or cream in color. These pale colors will suit most types of décor. The foot of the bed has curved spiral wrought iron beams which add a softer look to the sturdy base. The headboard is taller than the footer, but consistent with the swirly style along the foot. There may be four posts – one for each corner of the bed, although this design is not always seen paired with the regal style of wood and wrought iron headboard.
Floral pattern wood and wrought iron headboard
There are some headboards which are made from wood and wrought iron which resemble floral patterns. Although they may not have defined flowers on them, there may be leafy patterns which weave in and out of the headboard, or the swirls may be more extravagant and detailed than usual and therefore resemble petals. The wooden aspect is normally just the frame of the headboard, although you might find wooden elements blended into other areas of the headboard. Some wrought iron headboards will have defined flowers on them, although this is a rare look to come across. Another place you may find floral designs is the wooden frame of the headboard, which could be embellished with roses, daisies and other garden features.
Wooden backdrop with wrought iron headboard
If you want a headboard which is exclusively wrought iron, you can choose a small headboard and a larger wooden backdrop to go against the wall behind your bed. This normally takes the form of natural wooden beams which are positioned horizontally along the wall. There will be between 8-10 beams to be placed on the wall, and then the wrought iron headboard will go in front of this and attached to the back of your bed. The headboard may include swirls and other patterns, or they may be linear and more subdued. Whatever your preference, there's sure to be something suitable for you out there.
