Killer Headboards

There is always something so stunning about the perfect headboard. With so many styles to choose from you cant go wrong, the trick is finding one that matches your style and needs. If you love to sit up at night and lean back and read or watch T.V a fabric upholstered headboard may be the right choice for you. However, If you like a sleek modern decor an acrylic or wood headboard may be the perfect addition to your space.

Here are some of my favorites that can help you on your way to choosing the headboard that you will fall in love with.

When we appreciate what nature has to offer, it can give you a bold exotic decor. There are so many stunning rooms and decor that embellishes natures beauty, here are some of my favorites.

Dark Millwork Love

There is a fad going around that makes people think that in order to have a beautiful home they need to keep everything bright and white. I think there is a huge decline in people elevating their decor by adding dark cabinetry.

Use Your Color Wheel

“A color strategy is like a recipe for harmony – a set of color relationships that are proven to work well and can be used as a formula for building our color composition.” Mitchell Albala

One of the most important things to remember whether you are a professional designer or not is to always refer back to your color wheel. You can find amazing color combinations by using the color wheel to determine the complimentary color combination for your main accent color.
