Buying Guide

King size beds are large and sturdy. To be in step with these characteristics, the headboards on them need to make a bold statement. Solid wood headboards for king size beds do just this by shouting strength and staying power.

You won’t find a delicate filigree-metal-style among them. Instead, even the ones constructed of simple planks project a forceful image. The planks, sometimes in a vertical arrangement, could be the color of either light oak or chocolate brown.

Though the focus here is on how wood headboards enhance the decor of your bedroom, remember that their other purposes are to:

  • Protect the wall from dirt and damage
  • Provide a place for pillows to rest on

Some wood headboards for king size beds serve dual needs. Take, for example, one that has an extra-wide top for displaying mementos, framed photos, and other items. Another piece has a canopy platform for hanging curtains or drapes.

Time for a historical note. Wealthy ancient Egyptians used headboards as a sign of their wealth. Ancient Greeks and Romans used them as protection from cool air.

Some wood headboards for king size beds are made of pallet boards placed vertically and painted in several colors. If you have an unconventional decorating style or personality, perhaps this is for you. Another possibility is one made of wood boards so tall that it looks like paneling above your bed.

A fresh look in painted white board combines the elements of siding with louvered windows. It would suit an avant-garde artist’s abode or a home that’s eclectically furnished.

Do you like the homey and simple look of the bedrooms of some hard-working farmers past and present? There are headboards in the rustic style to choose from.

If you want a wood headboard similar to the ones that European royalty used, consider an elaborate one in mahogany-colored wood. It’s curved, with carved open woodwork that does not convey fragility. Rather, it allows the boldness of the piece to dissipate.

Wood headboards for king size beds are available for four-poster beds and platform beds. If you want to have the satisfaction of building your own, you can do so with some of them. For a platform bed, one of these projects uses discarded wood boards. Pull out all the stops by making six drawers to go with it.

A related project for a bed that uses slats or rails employs discarded wood boards too. It requires arranging dark- and light-colored boards in a diagonal or chevron pattern.
