I’m curious why you thought there wasn’t enough space for a headboard when you have painted the same area.

The headboards I saw were too expensive tbh and because they have those wooden sticks to attach them it would have meant the bed would be pushed out even just a few cm would have made it harder to get past so went for this to save money and space 😊

Looks fab. I think curtains would add a little more cosiness and always complete the room. Don’t have to be expensive. Well done! You certainly have an eye for colour!

Thanks Sonia! Yeah you’re definitely right will try and find some light ones 👍🏻

Son had a similar problem. He got a piece of Mdf cut to size, glued foam on and then stapled fabric to it. He attached it to the wall with heavy duty clips thereby doing away with the need for ‘wooden sticks’. Worked a treat without impinging on his space. Cheaper too.

Love the dark green wall.

I like your colour choices, really cosy feel. What I also admire is where people have used wooden panels / slats as both a headboard and also to create a strong visual wall display when entering a room. This can lead to the room feeling taller.

Kudos to you for a creative solution preserving both space and money. I think it works very well.

Hey Daisy yeah I was contemplating doing that if this looked rubbish 😂😂 thanks everyone super happy with the green

Aw that’s cute! Definitely add curtains but it’s nearly there

Love that green. I think you could have painted it in more walls too.

Looks great. 😀 How did you get such a crisp, clean, line for the “headboard”?

Hey Angie, i painted the light colour first just roughly on the wall where I wanted it. I then drew out the semi circle using a piece of cardboard, I nailed it to the center of the space and then poked a pencil through it to draw the circle. The straight lines down I frog taped and painted the light colour over the edges first so the green wouldn’t bleed through. Then I cut in the circle with the green using a really soft tapered brush, the smaller the slower but also the more control 😊 Here are some in action shot if it helps

Hi, thanks, that’s really helpful. Great work!

Looks fantastic and great work!
Just noting the comments that mention curtains, personally I think a Roman blind would work best in this room. Still adds a bit of softness but neater and less fussy so would complement better.

Looks great! Love the contrast of colours- adding a round mirror could also look great above the bed!
