Antique Brass Headboards

One way to find an answer to the room that needs some added antique style that is not too overstated might be by looking at antique brass headboards. While the first thought might be of musty rooms or older hotels, the truth is there are some amazing choices with brass either in genuine antiques or with reproductions that can go with many different styles. This type of headboard is a good use of space and an added benefit to brass is that it goes well with colors that are often the most problematic to match. All in all, antique brass headboards can be of true benefit to someone stuck in a decorative rut.

What styles can be matched with antique brass headboards?

Styles that bring to mind the simplicity of a different age go well with antique brass headboards. Victorian style furnishings are very popular, and often in trying to find the proper fit for such a bed people make the mistake of going overboard with a larger metal or iron wrought headboard. A brass headboard will look lighter and be a better match. The same can be said for finding fits for English and tradition style beds. Even if you are trying for a minimalist look, this type of headboard can work.

What colors can be matched with antique brass headboards?

Antique brass headboards can be great news for someone trying to match some very difficult-to-fit color schemes. For instance, warm blues, deeper reds, deep greens, and dark or burnt oranges and of course shades of brassy gold are easy to clash with almost anything, but brass can often fit in and make the scheme with these tones work well. The down side is there can be no undertones of silver, true gold, high beige, higher notes of yellow and orange, light pinks or light brown. Deeper wood tones work great in the furnishings such as dark leather, deep mahogany or polished dark pine. Lighter or natural looking woods would not work as well and should be avoided.

Can I utilize space better with antique brass headboards?

This is the best use of space you can have if this is a room that is beginning to appear a little crowded. Having a nice big room with high ceilings means little if the room is chock full of furnishings and has furniture stacked to the rafters. This makes the room appear smaller. If the bed is Double, Queen or King Size and is taking up a lot of space already then the antique brass headboard is a great fit as it takes up very little room. It also has spaces showing in almost all such designs so the headboard gives back a little wall and seems to be taking up even less area. This type of headboard gives the room a warm and uncluttered feeling you have with few other designs.
