The Practical Benefits of a Bedhead

In addition to the visual appeal they offer, bedheads also provide several practical benefits such as:

• Protecting the wall from potential damage caused by contact with the bed

• Preventing pillows from slipping off the bed

• Some bedheads also come with built-in storage compartments or shelves for books, decorative items, or other essentials, ideal if you like to read or browse on your phone before going to bed.

Choosing the Right Bedhead

There are a number of factors you should think about when choosing a bedhead, including:

• Your Room’s Size: A large, ornate bedhead may overwhelm a small space, while a minimalist design could be underwhelming in a spacious room, so choosing a bedhead that fits your bed and the room is important.

• Existing Furniture: Coordinating the bedhead with your existing bedroom furniture helps ensure it looks like part of the furniture instead of sticking out and looking odd.

• Your Personal Style Preferences: Choose a bedhead that reflects your personal taste and complements the overall aesthetic of your bedroom.

Caring for Your Bedhead

Proper care and maintenance will ensure your bedhead looks good and remains durable.

• Timber and metal bedheads can be dusted with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally wiped down with a damp cloth and a mild spray.
