When I get closer to the end of the walk -in wardrobe project (which I ended until the end of this month), I start to think more about our bedroom, which I will approach next. If you are new here, our bedroom looks like now …
Our home fitness studio used to be in this room, which is why it has colorful striped walls. But it will be our bedroom soon.
In order to transform this into a cozy, warm, inviting bedroom, the goal will be something like this, with blue -grown walls, blue -green velvet curtains, a padded headboard in this exact fabric, this multi -colored carpet with orange as a dominant color, etc.
To do this model, I used this headboard of Ballard Design. In the model I showed it without the nail head cladding, but since I love nail head cladding on almost everything I can wear, I would prefer it to look …
But I am not necessarily sold in this special form. I could also do something like that with a more subtle curved design.
But this weekend I took some time to watch padded bed options to look at my plan for our bedroom. I will do the headboard myself and I want to have the plan if I come to this project so that I have no delays as soon as I am ready to start. And then I came across this bed. I was sitting and staring at this bed, studying all the details and wondered if this was something that I could actually do. If it had square corners, I would have no doubt that I could do it myself. But I’m not so sure about these curved areas on the headboard and on the foot part. And of course it is the curves and the finals that make it so special.
This made me think that, instead of making a completely padded headboard, I prefer to do something with a wooden frame around the padded area. It could also contain a padded section on the footboard, such as the above or the below …
Or I could simply keep the padding on the headboard and do the rest of the bed like this …
Of course it would be the easiest to keep everything like this square …
I know that I could make it pretty easy because I’ve already done it. This is very similar to that that I made for our original bedroom in this house. It is the same headboard that I used in the guest room.
All examples that I found from beds with padded head parts and foot boards have a firm colored fabric. And since I use a patterned fabric, I am not quite sure what it would look like on a footboard. Maybe I should just hold the fabric on the headboard and make the rest of the bed wood. You can tell me your thoughts.
When I make a wooden frame, this takes care of a big challenge that I would encounter with a completely outdated headboard that I could not find out. The fabric I bought is only 56 inches wide and a Queen -Size head part. The fabric has a very specific “up” and “Down” pattern, and a Queen -Size head part is at least 60 inches wide, but probably 64 inches if it is attached to side rails. And since the fabric cannot be brought to the railroad due to the pattern, this means that a fully padded headboard requires the sutures to correspond to the pattern to make it far enough to cover the width of the headboard.
I can’t find out how Ballard designs deal with this problem. Do your head parts of the queen and king size have these seams, but they just don’t show them in the pictures? I am not sure how I feel like I can lift the fabric on a completely padded headboard. But if I did a wooden frame, I could get away from not taking the 56-inch width and the width of the wooden frame (I think).
I have no idea if that makes sense. To be honest, I am exhausted by grinding the floors and my brain feels pretty blurred this morning. But if you have ever padded a padded headboard with queen or king size with patterned fabric that could not be brought to the railroad, let me know how you did it. Did you add seams to the fabric? What did the finished headboard look like? Have the seams gone and interfered? Or were you visible?
And if you have ever padded a wooden frame with curved corners, what tips do you have? After seeing this first bed, I have now set my heart on it, but these curved corners amaze me.
Anyway, I hope to have an update on the floors tomorrow. I ended the grinding on Friday evening at 11:00 p.m. and then had to take the weekend off because I was injured after I had done something really stupid. Pooh. I am no longer 100% back this morning, but I feel so much better so that I can return to the floors today and hopefully end them.
