Give Your Bedroom a New Look With a Wooden Headboard

Since the average person spends one third of his life asleep, it’s a good idea to put some attention to detail in the bedroom.  One of the first things that people notice when they walk into a bedroom is the bed itself, so let’s start there.  We recently discussed how to build an upholstered headboard, which is an inespensive way to bring character and charm to your bedroom.  Another great idea for a headboard is just a wooden headboard itself.  Interior designers are noting that wooden headboards have become a desirable trend, and Houzz shares some images below for inspiration:
