Today, we want to show you how to create a bedroom full of personality and style. To do this, we’ll be focusing on one of the most important items in any bedroom: the headboard.

According to the principles of Feng Shui, headboards are essential. They’re said to protect your energy, and bring with them feelings of safety and security. The larger they are, the better they’re able to carry out this role. Those who follow the teachings of Feng Shui should, therefore, focus on the size rather than the materials.

Whether or not you believe in Feng Shui, no one can deny that headboards play a huge role in setting the tone of your decor. The rest of the decoration, including the color palette, will depend on the headboard you choose.
