So today I thought I'd share some alternative headboard inspiration I gathered over at Country Living!
So simple it's perfect! Love the idea of a collage above the bed. In this case it's botanicals, but it could be anything including photos, plates etc.
This photo isn't really my style, but I do like the idea of a pretty quilt above the bed...or it could be any great old textile.
I'm sure there's actually a headboard hidden behind those pillows, but what I was really interested in here are the curtains. A simple cornice over the bed with some great fabric draping down, maybe?
Oh yeah! Love this one. What a gorgeous mirror! The patina is incredible.
Okay, so there is actually a headboard in this photo as well, but what I like is the idea of a focal wall behind the bed. Maybe some beadboard or some weathered looking siding!So I might just be forced to think outside the box, but isn't that when the most memorable rooms are created?
Have a great weekend~

Thanks for the inspiration! I am currently working on my new master bedroom so your timing couldn't be better. I am not sure if I have left you a comment before, I have been reading your blog for a couple of months now and love your ideas and creations, you are an inspiration!
Best wishes,
Tammy
I love the mirror over the bed, but I'd be afraid of it falling off the wall and crushing me!
I love them all but the first is definately my favorite! I am in search of a headboard too, I like the old door idea. Thanks for this post!
My bedroom is shaped like the one with the bed in front of the window (converted attic space). I *really* want to position my bed like that. Just need to get a headboard first so our pillows aren't up against the glass! Lovely photos. I've seen that one with brick wall somewhere before. LOVE it.
We don't have one either so these are some great ideas!
I actually love the quilt about the bed. But I have mad love for old quilts too!
I love the first room, that is almost the color of my bedroom walls. Very beautiful rooms. I'm trying to figure out whether to make a headboard or paint ours or what so these are good ideas.
Love love love the mirror!
Wonderful ideas! I would never think of the quilt.

great ideas. I know you'll do something creative and it will be great!
The one with the curtains is my fave!! I need to show it to my SIL--her new house has a room like that! :)
I would never want a mirror as a headboard but I always loved the idea of an arrangement of pictures.
Ooops, wrong profile page again..., this just keeps happening.
I love the mirrored one too. I am going to do something for my daughter's room in the off-campus house she will be renting. She won't have a headboard, so I am thinking of doing some white decorative pieces above the head of her bed.
This probably isn't grownup enough for a master bedroom, but here is what I just did for my four-year-old's bed that was headboard-less... http://thephillipsplace.blogspot.com/2009/06/diy-headboard.html
Good luck in your search!
I love different ideas for headboard.. great pictures full of great ideas.
I'm in the mood for a project now!
hope the house selling is going well.

The last one makes me think of a beautiful princess in a far away cottage where a handsome hardworking prince aides her in escaping tragedy or something...
I like the mirror one too. That is what I have currently but it isn't nearly as fabulous!
Thanks for sharing.
My headboard is too low so I have a very large painting above the bed. I love all of the ideas,...especially the quilt!!
I wish I had more bedrooms in my house just so I could try out some of these wonderful ideas.
I am on the hunt for a headboard of some kind. Love these ideas...except for the georgous mirror~that one makes me nervous!
Hi Wendy...I was interested in ordering a bulster pillow with the No. 5 but I did not see that in your etsy shop anymore. Is it possible to order one?
Thanks
Heidi

i think i like the big mirror best!

Thanks for the ideas. I'm struggling with the same problem. We've been without a headboard ever since we upgraded to a king size mattress.
Great ideas! Can't wait to see what you do. I recently painted headboards for my guest room twin beds. It looks so cute but my grandmother is giving me some antique brass and iron beds! Can't WAIT!!!
love em all.
p.s. got your email...just send me your addy and i will pop one in the mail.
xo
p.s.s. where are all the people lately????
I love the first (botanicals) and the last (brick)- gorgeous!
Oh my gosh, what beautiful and creative head boards, thanks so much for sharing! Sue
Love this post! I actually made my headboard out of iron gates bought at Hobby Lobby. They are black... And look great with my black and white room. I used three of them... I get a ton of compliments! :)
