Double Bed Headboard

Making a double bed work in a room can be difficult. This type of bed is not too long or too short, but neither is it thin or trim looking. It is easy to make a king size bed the focus of the room, but this type of bed can quickly make a space look divided or cluttered. Two good solutions are to either simplify the look of the bed or go with a more reserved look to the room. This bed can often work best with a minimalist approach. Look to keep the room clean and uncluttered. Find a head board that matches the style of the room but that has rounded edges.

Double Bed Head Board Measurements

Double beds are made at interesting widths and lengths. The nice thing about them is that for most people they are a good fit to sleep on. They feel and look comfortable. A good headboard fit for a double bed might be something that looks just as comfortable. A headboard that fits a double bed’s comfortable style needs to be large enough not to look stubby as it stands above it. It also should not crowd the room. Measure a few inches down from the halfway point on the wall to the top of the mattress and start to decide from this how high you want the headboard to be. Take the measurement from this and be sure to write it down. Also measure the bed to see how to fit it properly to the frame and take this measurement with you when you go shopping.

Double Bed Head Board Types

Remember you are not stuck with classical wood designs just because this is a large bed. You can look for the thicker types of fabric headboards, leather headboards, and even metal headboards. If you take stock of what styles you already have in the bedroom you might come up pretty quickly with what you want for the headboard. If you do want wood, there many great choices like oak, birch, and walnut. For a double bed you might want to consider something that runs a little deeper.

Double Bed Head Board Book Cases

A double bed is big enough to support a good size bookshelf and let you show off your collection of both paperback and hard cover novels. Some headboard bookcases are deep enough and big enough to allow his and her sections so that spouses can each keep track of all their favorite nightly reading.

Double Bed Head Board Paneling

If you want to go to the opposite extreme, you can have a simple paneling with either a plain wood or a dark finish. A panel made of dark leather would also be very attractive and go with many different styles, as would a dark fabric head board. Wrought iron and other specialty types are very interesting touches and can be considered with a double bed as well.
