In any bedroom the centerpiece is the bed. If it is comfortable and also benefits from a design that delights you every time, then you know you did the trick with your bedroom: you will relax every time. But as not always the budget allows us to invest regularly in a bed, here are some ideas that simply will do wonders for your bedroom decor!

– the standard headboard is either as the width of the bed frame or 2,3 inch wider
– the oversized headboard can be 6,5 feet wider than the bed frame
– the standard height of the headboard is 14-25 inch above the mattress
– in choosing the dimensions of the headboard, you should be aware of the bed frame width and height of the mattress in relation to the room
