Choose the Right Headboard for Your Bed

For example, it can be rustic wood, following a boho chic or natural trend; if you opt for modern and industrial, add metallic touches and busy textures; On the other hand, if you want something more classic, opt for a plain headboard.

Also, pay attention to the size detail so that it is consistent with the space available in your room. You can complement this with a round mirror above the headboard to give light and space.

The Perfect Bedding

It all depends on your personal taste and preferences. Make sure it matches the overall look of the room. You can choose between plain and patterned; but always look for light tones to bring light and a clean feeling. Avoid strident and exaggerated patterns or designs, they have no style and reduce the perception of space.

The number of pillows on the bed is up to you. Now, if you like, you can follow this recommendation of 3 layers: 3 different large pillows, 2 of the same size and color, and a final layer with a smaller pillow.
