A headboard is a detail in your bedroom that adds to the décor, that highlights your décor style and much more. If your bed doesn’t have a headboard, you can make one or go for a cool alternative that will bring a feel that you want for your bedroom. Here are some catchy and pretty ideas.

Mirrors

A statement mirror instead of a headboard is a very cool idea: large mirrors are a big trend, they visually enlarge the space and they reflect light making the room more light-filled. You may choose a mirror in a vintage frame for a refined touch or in a modern and laconic one for a chic contemporary feel. Highlight the style of your space with this mirror.
