Can Upholstered Headboards Be Quiet?

One of the biggest selling points for upholstered headboards is their exuberance.  They are sassy, classy, vibrant, and bold.  They offer a tremendously effective way to introduce color and texture into our bedroom decors.  But can they be quiet?  What if you want a more subdued look in your bedroom in order to create a soothing, relaxing atmosphere?  Are these bold and beautiful headboards too much?  If a flame red headboard will keep you up at nights, you may think that upholstered is not the way to go, but don’t give up so soon.  You can find the right match for a quiet bedroom.

These headboards are also very well loved for their dimension and texture, and that can be incredibly soothing.  The soft, nubby texture of Shantung, for instance, can be just the right contrast to your smooth high-thread count sheets.  And while they are known for being bright and vibrant, you can find a modern headboard upholstered in more tranquil tones.  You could opt for comforting deep Chocolate, soothing Lilac, serene Bamboo Mist, mellow Sage, cook Khaki, and many other different colors that suit your style and need for quiet beauty and elegance.  You can certainly find the right fit for your bedroom.

Are Upholstered Headboards Versatile Enough?

Upholstered Headboard

You’ve just picked out the perfect contemporary headboard.  It is one of Skyline Furniture’s upholstered beauties, and it is the perfect shade of Aztec Gold.  Deep, bold, vibrant – it is perfect.  But then, what if it’s not?  What if you get tired of your stunning décor and want a change.  Will that incredible, and incredibly strong, Aztec Gold be able to transition to other looks?  Or will you be stuck with the same look, though it may be beautiful?  We all want change; can these headboards change with us?

Many of the shades that discount upholstered headboards come in are very bold: red, deep purple, lilac, lazuli…but there are also more neutral tones, like chocolate, khaki, or saddle.  The latter are much more easily integrated into a variety of decors, but even if you do opt to get a stronger color, you are not confined to one look.  Let’s take that Aztec Gold headboard.  You could tone it down with slate blue tones or darker earth tones.  You could have a more opulent look by adding jewel tones or orange, yellow, and red fall tones to complement the rich gold.  Sometimes it is difficult to work with strong colors; when you broaden your palette, though, it becomes much easier and much more beautiful.
