Choosing Your Faux Headboards

These aren't your standard headboards that attach to bed frames. These faux headboards mount directly to the wall, making them easy to add to any style of dorm beds. With so many different options available, finding the best one for your space is all about checking out the key elements of each design, such as:

• Design Style: To begin, think about what overall style you want the space to have. Browse all the possibilities, looking for a dorm headboard in keeping with the overall design style you're trying to achieve. The shape of the headboard and finer design details will help define the style of the piece.
• Material: Once you find a couple different dorm headboard designs that catch your eye, make sure to check out the materials used to craft the piece. Beautiful wood, soft fine fibers and metal accents are just a few of the materials you'll see used. There are even some headboards that are made using sustainably sourced or organic materials, making them pieces you can feel good about adding to the space.
• Size: It's imperative that the headboard you select fits the space you have available. Before you make your final selections, take measurements of the wall space you have available and compare those measurements to the dimensions of the headboard you're considering.
• Special Features: Sometimes, special features help set one design apart from the rest. Nail head trim, button tufted elements and even built-in outlets and charging ports are featured throughout this collection.

The dorm headboard you select is just one way to make the dorm bed feel more inviting.
