Trend in bedrooms, the headboard brings style and warmth to the room. Architect Patrícia Penna explains how to use the piece
To the headboards they are the trend of the moment in bedrooms. They frame the bed, give a particular charm to the environment and can be the final touch to compose the furniture.
According to the architect Patrícia Penna, from the office Patricia Penna Architecture & Design“it adds personality and coziness. By putting it together with a nice bedspread, interesting bedding and a blind or curtain, the room gains a new layer and stops fulfilling only a technical function of a bedroom, becoming a more pleasant environment. The headboard sets this space up and makes it cozier.”
What is the function of the head
Patricia explains that the headboard essentially has two functions: secure and protect the bed and the individual’s head, creating a screen between him and the wall; and the second function is aesthetics. However, it has some added benefits.
“The head helps delimit the bed areacontributes to thermal insulation between the bed and the wall when it is fabric, in addition, of course, to bring the ambient heat.”
Main types of headboard
There are several models and materials that can compose a headboard, from the most daring to the simplest. They don’t necessarily need to be repaired, there are options for box beds and single beds.

How to choose the best headboard for your bedroom?
The architect’s advice is to consider it needs, tastes and available space.
“The best headboard is the one that best responds to the wishes of the resident. From this we need to understand the function that the headboard must perform, understand the context in which it is inserted, understand the limits of the material and the distance.
For example, in a small room, a thinner headboard, just with a foam to remove the hardness of the wall and a fabric, is enough to make the space cozier,” says Patrícia.
