Reader request – headboard-less beds
Posted on Fri, 7 Jan 2011 by KiM
Today’s reader request comes from Jenny: “Hi, can I do a request for a post on beds without headboards? I just got rid of my giant, oppressive headboard and I’m trying to style my room with my bed having just the Hollywood frame, but I need some inspiration. Thanks!” I too am a big fan of the simplicity of headboard-less beds and my bedroom is currently sporting this style. These photos should hopefully give anyone currently new at the headboard-less bed situation ideas on how to spruce up the bed without a potential monstrosity behind the pillows stealing the show.

Lots of inspiration here. I too am a fan of the headboard-less look. It especially works for me when there is a large painting near the bed – it doesn't just have to be in the middle. I haven't had a headboard in years having lived in such small spaces, but I must admit I've never really understood the function of it.

I suffer from tiny room syndrome but didn't want to give up the king-size bed. Doing without a headboard bought a few important inches. Instead, I covered stretcher frames with fabric and hung them over the bed, http://www.flickr.com/photos/sandiv999/3035467299/in/photostream/

It's a traddition in my family ! I don't remember having a bed with headboard in all my growing years . Well, i guess it started out as one of the money saving tricks with bed ( it cost extra ), and i'm glad to see that it had evolved into a kind of design trend.

Some of these photographs make me want to rush right out, buy velveteen, stitch a quilt and jump straight back into bed!

Just can't get into the headboard-less beds. It looks like HS/College dorm beds where Ikea was the standard along with two milk crates and a plank. Headboards make/break a bed. To not have one seems to convey "I can't afford one" in the look.

Thanks for some great inspiration! I don't have a headboard either, mainly because I couldn't decide which one to choose… Now I'm thinking of painting the wall behind the bed in black, but only "headboard height".
linda says:
I was without a headboard for years-not by choice-and I found that the wall behind the bed got really dirty from hair, hands, etc. I've learned that I prefer one.

All of them are divine!
