High bed in the bedroom

To achieve coziness and comfort in the bedroom, it is necessary to organically combine all the objects and accessories in the interior of this room.

Considering that the main figure of such a room is the bed, special attention must be paid to its choice. After all, it is unlikely that the highlight of the classic interior in an exquisite English style, which you carefully created with your own hands, will be an attic or a high inflatable bed thrown in the center of the room. After all, here every detail should be in its place, breathe love and care, provide comfort and peace.

Recently, high beds are gaining popularity. Moreover, we are talking about both the surface of the mattress itself and the length of the backs. A bed with a high headboard is one of the most modern design trends.

But you don't need to blindly pursue fashion. It is imperative that the bedroom looks organic and natural. A huge high bed would be more than out of place in a small Japanese-style room.

The instructions below will allow you to familiarize yourself with the whole variety of high bed models on the market and learn about the possible design options for the headboards, some of which are shown in the photo. This will allow, if necessary, to make a more informed choice when buying.


High beds in the bedroom

While low platform beds are typical for Japanese-style rooms, high beds are a sign of the Turkish design trend.

You are unlikely to find a bed with high legs in a furniture store. Most likely, you will have to do it yourself or order it from a specialized furniture workshop. By the way, in this case, you can equip it with drawers, which allow you to more effectively organize the space under the bed. Due to the high position of the mattress, they will be very convenient to use.

The high bed is not an addition, but the protagonist of the interior. Especially when you use a canopy and many pillows trimmed with fringes and tassels to decorate it. The effect produced is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent.

But not in all bedrooms, such a design will look spectacular and appropriate. It takes up a lot of free space and interferes with natural light in the room. And this is very important in small bedrooms, where it is necessary to achieve a visual expansion of the space. Therefore, before purchasing a high bed, you should carefully weigh all the pros and cons.

Despite the fact that many people like to sleep at a height, in some cases, the bed with high legs should be abandoned in favor of more rational models. For example, a bed with a high headboard shows itself well.

Textile headboards

Very often, textiles are used to decorate these pieces of furniture. A bed with a high soft headboard gives the bedroom interior warmth, comfort, security and safety.

Most often, the back is upholstered with heavy, expensive fabric or, if you are not confused by the price, with natural leather. The color of the material and its texture should match the curtains, bedspread, upholstery, or the color of the walls in the room. Or you can apply a contrast solution.

Lovers of antique interiors can be advised to decorate a high and massive headboard with puffs. A more modern option is to use fabric with bold prints.

It should be noted that the high back, as a rule, weighs a lot. Therefore, it is inappropriate to fix it on the bed frame, because this can lead to breakage in the future. It is better to screw the finished panel directly onto the wall, and then attach the mattress support to it. This design will be cheaper.


Hard headboards

Another option that emphasizes the already minimalist style would be a bed with a high, rigid headboard. She will give the interior the missing elegance.

So that the long headboard does not introduce dissonance into the interior, it is advisable to use materials for its manufacture that are combined with the rest of the furniture in the room. It is possible for the headboard to be decorated in the same way as the floor covering.

Decorating your headboard with a mirrored panel will create incredible visual effects in your room. A large mirror on a high back will visually expand the room even more, add light and cheerfulness to it.

The backrest can serve not only as a decorative element, but also perform various functions. For example, shelves or stands attached to it will make it possible to abandon bedside tables or bookcases.

Another interesting option is the complete absence of a headboard. In this case, the role of the latter will be played by the wall itself, painted up to the ceiling in a contrasting shade, different from the color design of the rest of the room.


Mixing styles

A high-back bed allows you to achieve a variety of design effects that will immediately affect the visual perception of the room. Eclecticism works best in this regard, that is, a combination of various, at first glance, incompatible design directions.

For example, a huge headboard, made in a classic and strict black color, will look great against the background of an untreated brick wall. Here, not only the contrast of shades plays a role, but also the difference in textures. The cold, rough surface of the stone accentuates the softness and comfort of velor or velvet, which can be used to decorate the headboard.

A gray textile headboard will make the high-tech bedroom less cold, and natural wood will soften the uncompromising solutions of the modern urban trend. By the way, the presence of shelves in this case will be useful, since no one has canceled practicality.


Ornaments

High curly headboards look unusually impressive.

Metallic patterns, made with the help of forging and painted in a pristine white color, cannot fail to become a central decorative element in your bedroom. They will bring harmony, comfort and warmth to her. The greatest effect can be achieved if the wall to which the upper part of the bed adjoins is painted in a contrasting color.

The headboards, decorated with wood carvings, look light and airy. Strict geometric shapes will perfectly complement any interior, regardless of the stylistic orientation. Circles, squares and rectangles can be diversified with pictures or photographs.


Self-made high headboard

If you have an artistic taste, a sense of style, a little experience with tools and an irrepressible desire, you can arrange your back at home. To do this, you do not need to contact an interior specialist or buy expensive materials.

You need to feel free to experiment. Sometimes the interior will sparkle with new colors only due to the fact that unexpected solutions or objects were used in the design.

For example, a massive headboard upholstered in soft fabric can look spectacular in a frame of ordinary tree branches.

Get inspired by your favorite activities. For example, the headboard of an avid fisherman can be made from ordinary boat oars. It is even better if they have different colors, textures, materials and shapes. The main thing is not to use too aggressive colors and remember that the bedroom is, first of all, a recreation room. Continuing the theme, make curtains, bedspreads and other accessories in the same style. The result will not disappoint even the most sophisticated connoisseur.

To make a soft headboard, you just need to take a sheet of plywood, cut out the back of the shape you need, paste over it with expanded polystyrene and cover it with the fabric you like. Textiles are fixed along the edge with a construction stapler. The main advantage of this solution is its simplicity and the ability to change the upholstery at any time.

Conclusion

A high bed in a room is not a solution for everyone. In order for it to look the most effective, the room must meet certain requirements, and this is always achievable.

Better to stay at the headboard. Here you can show all your design talents by decorating this bed element in full accordance with your ideas of beauty.
