Open GalleryIf you've already bought your bed and it doesn't have a headboard, don't worry. You can add one later to your liking. Choose the one that suits your tastes and needs. For example, there are headboards that also integrate space on the side of the bed.

Made from glossy white MDF, it can include one or two shelves that you can later use as nightstands. This idea works very well in a small bedroom, being an excellent way to save space.

In recent years' trends, the DIY fashion shows us that by refurbishing an old piece like a wooden door, unique headboards with a vintage feel can be created. Moreover, the most skilled among you can even paint on these pieces in the bedroom.

Upholstered headboards are also an option that provides extra comfort. In this case, it's best to choose a shade similar to your bed linen for consistency. Of course, you can vary your bed linens, as long as the shades and tones harmonize with the one chosen for the headboard. Upholstered versions also work wonders for classic, elegant bed frames.

Want to achieve a contemporary look? Use a mint green side table (let the wood of the table legs show – see picture in gallery) as a nightstand.

Velvet fabrics are among this year's trends. Choosing such a headboard will give your bedroom a sophisticated air and a lot of style. Our color recommendation? Marsala, the color of 2015.

The beauty of wood is hard to beat. A few vertical planks of light-colored wood for a Nordic-inspired style in a predominantly white decor, and you've got your headboard without too much effort.
