Creative Headboards for the Master Bedroom
Ranked #19,450 in Hobbies, Games & Toys, #330,252 overall
A bed without a headboard looks incomplete, no matter how beautiful the bedding or plump the pillows. However, if you want a finished look that's a little out of the ordinary, consider using wall art decor to complete the space above the bed. Wall art décor lets you personalize the bed and bedroom in a totally individual fashion. Besides being uniquely stylish, employing an expansive piece wrought iron or canvas wall art in lieu of a headboard has other benefits: It is often less expensive than a headboard and it takes up less space, leaving more room at the foot of the bed, which can be a great benefit in a smaller master bedroom.

Create a Stir with Canvas Art
There is no limit to the styles and colors available in canvas wall art. From very modern abstract and interpretive works of art, to traditional florals, landscapes, wildlife, Asian inspired motifs or serene country settings and more. Choose a three-panel piece of canvas wall art that will inspire the decor of the entire room, from bedding to window treatments, wall colors and accessories. Canvas wall panels are designed to be spaced as needed to accommodate the width of the bed.Use the colors and style of the canvas to influence your choices in bedding, throw pillows, and window treatments. In a contemporary bedroom, create a modern gallery above the bed: Choose two different groupings of canvas art and arrange them on the wall above the bed at different heights, some vertically and some horizontally, to define the bed in a refreshingly distinctive way. Paint the wall in a deeper tone than the rest of the room by accenting a color in the canvases to make the entire wall the focus of the room.

Add Texture with Wrought Iron Wall Hangings
There are so many ways to go when considering wrought iron wall décor in lieu of a headboard. A large half circle or series of half circles can span the width or the bed, or try one oversized round piece of wrought iron. Since wrought iron wall hangings can be mounted in any direction, square and rectangular patterns can be combined as desired, with or without space between them, creating a configuration that suits your style. Painted wrought iron adds a cottage or country attitude while matte black, gray or brown finishes can be used to accent any style from traditional, to Mediterranean or modern.
Large Framed Mirrors Enlarge the Space
A series of framed wall mirrors can be hung to create a headboard. Wrought iron frames, vintage-inspired leaded glass frames or mirrors encrusted with crystal will add light and depth to the bedroom and make the space seem luxuriously expansive. Mirrors can be mounted vertically to frame the bed or horizontally in pairs to extend beyond the width of the bed, leaving a truly boundless impression.
Skipping the headboard certainly does not mean skimping on style. Think outside the box: Anything from wall art to fabric or basketry can be used to create a highly individualized style frame for the head of the bed, and one that is unique to your master bedroom.
