Temporary Trompe L'Oeil

Keep it simple with a wall decal headboard. There are lots of colors and styles to choose from, and when your kid outgrows one look, simply peel it off the wall and pick out another! Photo courtesy of Blik Wall Graphics

Durable and Luxurious

Tufted headboards are a classic, but make it feel more current in a chic white. Choose a microfiber fabric for its durability and stain resistance. Design by RMSer ECinNC.

Organizing Made Easy

Tidy up a kid's bedroom with extra storage in the headboard. Designer Dan Vickery combines savvy cabinetry skills, acrylic doors and a bold red to create a contemporary headboard for a comic-loving boy.

Princess Perfect

Put high style on full display. Designer Candice Olson transforms a platform bed with a customized tangerine headboard tufted with fuchsia buttons.

Striped Minimalist

Design a simply stunning headboard by framing a classic striped fabric. Use a vertical stripe to draw the eye up or a horizontal one to lengthen the wall. Design by Kenneth Brown.

Cheery Storage

Bright yellow wraparound cabinets serve as a unique headboard in this contemporary kid's room. Open and closed cubbies allow for the child to display favorite toys or hide away treasured possessions.

Beautiful and Comfy

A three-sided upholstered headboard wraps around a child's bed to create a cozy cocoon. Personalize with your kid's favorite fabric.

Simply Organic

Headboards don't have to cost a lot. RMSer seasideinteriors creates a focal point by hanging a bamboo window treatment behind her son's bed. A framed picture that matches the explorer theme adds the finishing touch.
