Designer Chic Upholstered Wall Panels
| July 2008 Design Newsletter Welcome to our July 2008 Newsletter from Wall Huggers In this issue we will discuss the importance of a headboard and how it relates to Feng Shui. Big Headboard Equals Big Sleep How did you sleep last night? If you tossed, turned and fretted, unable to get a good night's rest, it could be because you don't have a sturdy headboard behind your bed. The head of the bed is your bedroom's focal point, and the most important treatment in this private space designed for relaxation and comfort. We all need a good night's sleep in order to be sufficiently rested to perform well during the day. The headboard you choose for your bed sets the tone for the mood and style of this dreamy space. Feng Shui masters strongly advise us to have a strong and sturdy headboard. Feng Shui, the art of placing objects in relation to energy flows, in order to heighten positive energies and minimize the negative ones, demand placing the headboard against a solid wall. When considering Feng Shui principles we must also consider the material and shape of the headboard. Brass or iron headboards, due to their open bar design, can create headaches and a sense of a lack of support. This style of headboard is not recommended for anyone. Wood or upholstered wood framed headboards are best for all, according to Feng Shui. The shape of the headboard should be suited to your element (the year we are born dictates the element: wood, earth, water, fire or metal). It is said that we draw strengths from the elements in the headboard we choose, and it corresponds to our element. Creative & attractive a round-shaped headboard corresponds to the metal element. If you normally work in an office environment or are involved in a job that sees a lot of paperwork, it is a good shape to choose Square- and rectangular-shaped headboards are for all of us who represent the wood or earth element. This shape of headboard encourages stability and offers support, perfect for all career-minded souls. Oval, round or wavy-shaped headboards are ideal for people who belong to the water element and will help support and inspire creative professions such as artists, musicians and designers. With respect to the headboard, the size of your room does not matter. All bedrooms should have a creative, attractive and substantial headboard solidly secured behind the head of the bed. Even the smallest of rooms can sleep with a grand headboard -- in fact, a taller headboard can help to make a small room feel more spacious. Today, fashionable beds are supported with sexy upholstered leather and micro fiber, exotic rattan, canopy frames draped with sensual fabrics, and handsome wood carved headboards. The one thing that all these stylish headboards have in common is that they make a personal style statement and that gives height and substance to the room. Creative dreams or thinking "outside of the bed" is strongly encouraged in the bedroom. You may want to use a beautiful piece of original art or hand loomed rug for a headboard. Other creative ideas that I have employed in the bedroom include using antique or old storefront signs, folding and Japanese screens, bamboo curtains, and exotic fabrics draped from bamboo or iron rods, even an oversized framed mirror can make a wonderful headboard. Do more than dream, give your bed a stylish new headboard and not only will you give your bedroom a chic sense of style but you may even find that you are getting a better night's sleep. |
