Match the bed size first
A Queen headboard should match a Queen frame, and a King headboard should match a King frame. Check actual width and mounting holes.
Choose the visual direction
Chevron scoring makes the headboard a statement piece. Horizontal scoring creates a quieter, cleaner bedroom look.
Confirm mounting requirements
Some headboards require separate hardware because bed frames differ. Slotted mounting points help, but compatibility still matters.
Use finish to shape the room
White brightens the room, black anchors the design, walnut warms it up, and pine feels natural and relaxed.
