Beds with soft headboard

The bedroom is the most frank and comfortable room in the house, so the furniture in it should be 100% consistent with the preferences of the owners. A bed with a soft headboard is the most ideal and indispensable option for any bedroom, which has a bright design and wide functionality. It is not only pleasant to soak up the weekend, but also to read an interesting book on a weekday before bedtime, leaning on the soft back.

Beds with a soft headboard look particularly good in the interior of the bedroom. For the first time such beds appeared three thousand years ago BC: Egyptian pharaohs spent their holidays in huge boxes with a soft back. Their rebirth of the model received a couple of centuries ago, when Rococo and Baroque came into fashion with genuine luxury in the exterior decoration of furniture.

Modern models of beds are very different from Egyptian and even those that existed in the XVIII-XIX centuries by the following predominant features:

• Soft back, which separates the warm bed from the cold wall. It is nice to lean on her while reading or watching a movie, talking with a partner or just relaxing;
• A diverse choice of size, shape and headboard upholstery. It can be extremely high - almost to the ceiling or as low as possible, but sufficient for a pleasant contact with it, upholstered in natural or eco-leather, velor, velvet and even velveteen, satin or any other furniture fabric;
• Accent that sets the space. The soft back can be the main contrast in the bedroom and determine its style direction. Baroque and Rococo, for example, are distinguished by high walls and their luxurious finishes with a predominance of burgundy, red, black shades and gold. It is inconceivable to imagine these trends without an elaborate and complex form. The laconic and restrained classic prefers a rectangular headboard, moderately tall and in calm colors. And even the modern Modern cannot be imagined without an average soft back;
• Should I talk about that the headboard can be adjustable, that is, you can fully lie down on it or just lean on it;
• Among the minuses of the soft back ordinary people say difficult care for her. However, the latter strongly depends on the type of fabric used in the upholstery: for eco-leather and natural leather, care is easier than for velor or furniture fabric (since wiping them with a damp sponge will not be enough);
• The cost of models of beds with leather trim will be much higher than analogue of chipboard. But it is quite possible to find a bed with a soft back and an attractive price.

Beds with a soft back firmly established in the interiors of a modern bedroom, and no matter what it is style. Is it worth talking about the comfort that the textile upholstery gives, how pleasant it is to “rely” on it while reading or not to hit the headboard by chance in a dream. Beautiful models in almost 100% of cases have an orthopedic base - a metal frame with slats, which evenly distributes the load on the spine of the resting person and enhances the orthopedic properties of the mattress.

The headboard of the bed can be its inseparable part or attached, mounted (created artificially element). Headboard shapes:

• Rectangular. The classic type of headboard, which looks equally good in the decoration of the bedroom and in the Classic, and in Modern. Traditionally, its upholstery is made of natural or eco-leather and has a pattern - diamonds, which is called the royal tie;
• Semicircular bordered between rigorous rectangular and impressive textured. It looks good in romantic directions and light color - the same classics and especially in the light Modern;
• Unusual abstract the form is inherent in creative people, for whom the aesthetics of the bedroom comes first. It can be a combination of a semicircular back with carved elements.

Interior backs usually have a non-standard shape or large height. These beds look good in spacious bedrooms, not combined rooms, which are part-time and a living room, and children's room, and a corridor. In terms of decor, the back can be completely soft or have hard edges. By the type of placement of the bed there are wall-mounted ones - with a beautiful front side and a “technical” back, and island ones are models whose headboard has the same elegant upholstery on both sides.

The headboard is different upholstered - it can be completely smooth or quilted, decorated with decorative nails or buttons that can create a geometric or any other pattern on the surface. For finishing, natural or eco-leather is usually used, furniture fabric like velor, velvet, less often - silk and 100% cotton. Carriage fastener - the most popular direction in the decoration of the backrest. It represents the very usual rhombuses, the design of which creates decorative nails or buttons.

The headboard can be not just a decoration of the interior, but also its functional component: to have a lighting system, open shelves or storage panels, a mechanism to lower and raise it. Models with a lifting or removable headboard are practical in terms of comfort and care - it is easy to dry-clean the back when dirty or adjust the comfortable angle if necessary. Beds with a high headboard are more likely to serve as an interior decoration, and if we talk about comfort, then it will be presented to models with a low and wide back - it is comfortable to lean on it. Beds can be on legs or have a floor storage box.In turn, this box can be retractable or open with the help of a lifting mechanism.

Conventionally, all the sizes of a sleeping bed can be divided into single and double, as well as "lorries".

Single beds have a length of 190-200 cm and a width of up to 100-120 cm:

• 90 x 200 cm;

• Beige and its light shades also common among the color palette of furniture. This shade looks expensive in the decoration of natural or eco-leather in a classic bedroom format.

• Turquoise back creates a bright accent and certainly requires an addition: the elements on the wallpaper, textiles or photographs on the walls can be combined with the marine tint of the upholstery.

• Have pink many shades, it can be muted or "screaming" color, restrained, deep, delicate and any other. In the girl's bedroom, it is more appropriate than ever, but it also looks attractive in an adult if you choose a backrest trim made of velvet or natural leather and a more lilac shade of pink.

• Rich brown color the backs are especially popular with mature individuals and lovers of luxury in their pure form. Agree that this shade looks expensive, especially in the decoration of the bedroom. Choosing him for the head of the bed, it is necessary to maintain this shade and choose curtains and / or textiles in tune with him for harmony.

• "Passionate" red bed It looks good on a white or light background, and in order not to overload the space, it is not necessary to maintain this shade in textiles or upholstery. The red leather headboard is combined with natural wood in finishing, and the textile - velvet or velor - with concise white materials.

The basis or frame of the bed is often made from:

• Solid wood (pine, oak, beech, ash or softwood);
• MDF;
• DSP;
• Metal.

Natural solid wood - the most expensive and environmentally friendly "product". If you choose conifers, they really help to relax, because they emit a pleasant scent of needles for a couple of years after the purchase and installation of the bed. Oak and beech are even more expensive models, as they are the hardest and strongest of the above materials.Their lifespan is about half a century and more.

Finished models are often decorated with special nails, covered with fabric or rhinestones, buttons. The leather headboard can have a pattern with rhombuses or a carriage tie, with squares or rectangles.

You can decorate the back yourself - to cover the “bare” wooden headboard with furniture fabric with drawings, patterns or create an appliqué. A good idea is to decorate the back with large buttons. You can fasten a pair of pillows on a solid base: if necessary, they are easy to put in a closet or removed for washing.
