With so many numerous choices, there lies no doubt that it will fit into the lives and rooms of anyone, who wishes to have them in their rooms.

Your bed might look even more pleasurable with one headboard, while another might be great with an upholstered fabric. Two curved, one straight and a lot of patterns, is the best one to choose from all of this however.

• Fantastic Geometric Prints – Striped headboards or geometric prints against wallpapers, with vibrant color options of red, coral and a pop of green, can be one good choice to get your upholsteries done. Colors like green add an unexpected and lovely feel to this print, which would otherwise have come up as traditional and stuffy.

The upholstery is what makes a bed stand out from all others. Imagine a bed with coffee colored layers, teamed with flowing white sheets and an equally lucrative coffee-colored upholstery. Tufted headboard is included in most designs. But then again to maintain the same look for them, we have to ensure that the choice of fabric is apt. While choosing upholstery for your headboard check for the following factors:

• Durability –If the material is expected to resist a lot of wear and tear, it is best to choose a durable one. Heavy cotton, wool, leather or even denim can be a great option to this.

• Thread Count –High thread count will make for more intrinsic upholstery. Tighter weaves are usually tougher and less porous to spills.

• Stain Treatment – If you really want to spend, then it is worth investing in stain resistant upholstery for a piece of furniture.

• Swatches – Get a fabric sample whenever you can and take it home. This is to check how it blends with floors, walls, draperies and furniture so that you can create a harmonized look.
