As I’m nearing the top of the walk-in closet venture (which I hope to have completed by the top of this month), I’m beginning to suppose extra about our bed room, which I’ll be tackling subsequent. In case you’re new round right here, that is what our bed room appear like proper now…
This room was once our house health club, which is why it has colourful striped partitions. However it should quickly be our bed room.
To show this into a comfy, heat, welcoming bed room, the objective will probably be one thing like this, with teal grasscloth partitions, teal velvet curtains, an upholstered headboard on this actual material, this multi-colored rug with orange because the dominant shade, and many others.
To do this mockup, I used this headboard from Ballard Designs. Within the mockup, I confirmed it with out the nailhead trim, however since I really like nailhead trim on nearly every part I can put it on, I would favor it to appear like this…
However I’m not essentially bought on that individual form. I may additionally do one thing like this one, with a extra refined curved design.
However this weekend, I took a while to have a look at upholstered mattress choices to finalize my plan for our bed room. I’ll be making the headboard myself, and I’d wish to have the plan in place by the point I get to that venture in order that I don’t have any delays as soon as I’m prepared to start. And that’s after I got here throughout this mattress. I sat and stared at this mattress for fairly a little bit of time, learning all the particulars and questioning if that is one thing I may really make myself. If it had squared corners, I’d have little question that I may make it myself. However I’m not so positive about these curved areas on the headboard and footboard. And naturally, it’s the curves and the finials that make it so particular.
In order that received me to pondering that possibly as a substitute of doing a totally upholstered headboard, I’d favor to do one thing with a wooden body across the upholstered space. It may embrace an upholstered part on the footboard as properly, just like the one above or the one under…
Or I may simply maintain the upholstery to the headboard and make the remainder of the mattress wooden like this one…
After all, the best possibility can be to maintain every part sq., like this one…
I do know for a indisputable fact that I may make that one pretty simply as a result of I’ve already accomplished it earlier than. That’s similar to the one I made for our authentic bed room on this home. It’s the identical headboard that I ended up utilizing within the visitor bed room.
All the examples I discovered of beds with upholstered headboards and footboards have stable coloured material. And since I’m utilizing a patterned material, I’m not fairly positive how that might look on a footboard. So maybe I ought to simply maintain the material to the headboard and make the remainder of the mattress wooden. You possibly can inform me your ideas on that.
If I do a wooden body, that takes care of an enormous problem that I’d run into with a fully-upholstered headboard that I haven’t been ready to determine. The material I purchased is simply 56 inches extensive, and a I want a queen dimension headboard. The material has a really particular “up” and “down” sample, and a queen dimension headboard is at the least 60 inches extensive, however in all probability extra like 64 inches if it’s connected to facet rails. And for the reason that material can’t be railroaded due to the sample, that implies that a totally upholstered headboard would require seams to match the sample to make it extensive sufficient to span the width of the headboard.
I can’t work out how Ballard Designs will get round that downside. Do their queen- and king-sized headboards have these seams, however they simply don’t present them on the images? I’m undecided how I really feel about having the material seamed on a fully-upholstered headboard. But when I have been to do a wooden body, I may get away with not having to seam the 56-inch-wide material plus the width of the wooden body can be extensive sufficient (I believe).
I don’t know if that is smart. To be trustworthy, I’m exhausted from sanding the flooring, and my mind feels fairly fuzzy this morning. However should you’ve ever made a queen- or king-sized upholstered headboard utilizing patterned material that couldn’t be railroaded, let me know the way you probably did it. Did you add seams within the material? How did the completed headboard look? Did the seams disappear and mix in? Or have been they seen?
And should you’ve ever made a wooden body upholstered headboard with curved corners, what suggestions do you’ve? After seeing that first mattress, I type of have my coronary heart set on it now, however these curved corners baffle me.
Anyway, I hope to have an replace on the flooring for y’all tomorrow. I completed the sanding at 11:00pm on Friday evening after which ended up having to take the weekend off as a result of I injured myself after doing one thing actually silly. Ugh. I’m not fairly again to 100% this morning, however I really feel so significantly better, so I can get again to the flooring at this time and hopefully end them up.
Addicted 2 Adorning is the place I share my DIY and adorning journey as I rework and adorn the 1948 fixer higher that my husband, Matt, and I purchased in 2013.
