Headboards



Trash to Treasure

A headboard made from salvaged materials can add tons of charm and unique style to a bedroom. In this space, an old door found in a burn pile was paired with a vintage gate — reclaimed from a dump and brightened up with a mist of white spray paint. The end result is a whimsical, one-of-a-kind headboard with enough substance to balance the king-size bed. Design by Funky Junk Interiors.


Industrial Chic

Who knew metal roofing could be so stylish? Designer Kara Paslay created a rustic yet glamorous headboard by cutting an ornate shape out of corrugated tin, bringing out its subtle sheen and wavy texture. The silhouette may be traditional, but this headboard is anything but ordinary. Best of all, this DIY project only cost about $30!


Rustic Romance

In this airy bedroom, a headboard made from a pair of reclaimed doors adds visual weight and a hint of ruggedness to an otherwise dreamy space. The weathered doors retain just enough white paint to complement the room's crisp bedding and sparkling chandelier. Design by Dreamy Whites.


A Good Sign

After a thorough scrub and a bit of paint to touch up the faded lettering, this reclaimed convenience store sign looks as good as new and makes an eye-catching backdrop for a daybed. Not only does the vintage sign provide a theme and color palette for the room, but its historic significance also makes it an exciting conversation piece. Design by Funky Junk Interiors.

loft bedroom features hand hewn headboard

Organic Element

Sometimes, an unexpected headboard can be just what a bedroom needs. In this modern loft bedroom, a slab of roughhewn wood adds a natural touch and warms up the industrial-looking space. Design by Daniel Bodenmiller.


Soaring to the Ceiling

To make the bed the focal point in a small studio apartment, Rate My Space user 4oclock created a striking headboard by securing 1-1/2-inch MDF pieces to two strips of iron. A headboard that extends all the way to the ceiling creates visual interest and defines the space.


Coastal Chic

Shutter headboards are a perfect fit for a beach house or cottage-style bedroom. To give new, unfinished shutters a weathered look, paint them with a "dry brushing" technique, then sand the outside edges and the front edge of the louvers.


Pallet Perfection

Echoing the navy-and-white stripes painted in the closet, a headboard made from wooden shipping pallets is a standout feature in this nautical-themed boy's bedroom. To create a coordinated look, designer Lakeitha Duncan paired the pallets with two wooden nightstands in a natural finish.


Country Goes Contemporary

Who would guess that this modish headboard was once a barn door window? The window was first fashioned into a mirror, which designer Jessica McKay of Birdhouse Interiors frosted to reduce distracting reflections. With a modular look and monochromatic color scheme, this formerly rustic window now makes a distinctive, modern headboard.


Bonus Shelving

This salvaged door not only serves as an attractive headboard, but also provides a small shelf above the bed for displaying vases and other accessories. Even against a bold, custom-painted harlequin wall, this headboard makes a statement. Design by Suzanne Lasky, S Interior Design.

Luxury Penthouse Or A Villa - Which Would You Rather Live In?

If you were offered a choice of a gorgeous luxury villa or a luxury penthouse to live in, which would you choose? What would a penthouse offer that a luxury villa could not? A luxury villa could have anything that one may think of ... a pool, a garden, a patio ... but there is one thing a penthouse can have that even a luxury villa cannot have - large picture windows that offer gorgeous views and look out on the skyline.
Since penthouses are designed for lots and lots of light, the windows of a penthouse are perhaps its defining feature - the one feature that sets it apart from other luxury residences. Every room of a penthouse can offer a gorgeous and distinct view of monuments or even distant hills or the ocean.
Not surprisingly, interior designers expend much effort in the design, dressing and treatment of penthouse windows.

 Penthouse Window Designs
The wrap around window, which runs around the penthouse, is one of the more common designs. This design conveys the impression of totally glassed walls. These may be complete, half or three quarter windows. Other fairly common window designs are bay windows and tilted windows.
Dressing Penthouse Windows
Since windows are what really set penthouses apart, it is natural that these should be used as the focal points of the interiors. And a lot can be done to highlight the windows and make them the focus of any room ...
Thoughtfully placed floor lamps and focus lights could enhance the beauty and appeal of the windows.
Carefully chosen drapes, curtain rods and valances can give a personality to your window and to the entire room too. Using a combination of drapes and valences that fit in with the rest of the room's decor can do a great deal to add to the elegance of a room and give a touch of class and style.
Designing and dressing penthouse windows, if done with care, imagination and creativity, can give every room in a penthouse a unique personality, look and feel and can give a touch of style that can prove to be a source of delight for many years.

Private homes aren't the only way to get full exposure. Renowned architect Richard Meier designed a number of glass-walled apartment buildings that have attracted celebrity interest. A penthouse duplex in his iconic Perry Street Towers in New York is for sale for $13.9 million. It also happens to be Martha Stewart's old crash pad.

From the terrace

This really is life in a fishbowl: The apartment has four terraces and spectacular views of the Hudson River and Manhattan through the 11-foot, triple-glazed and UV-protected glass walls.
The views go both ways. But while neighbors and traffic on the West Side Highway might be able to gaze inside, physical access is restricted by a keyed elevator.
